It is one of the extremely propel of approaches involved in the so-called controversial and neatly notorious suggestions made by the British Medical Association (BMA) as per which in excess of 1,000 people are not allowed to die every year since the nation is reportedly handicapped against an acute and chronic scarcity of organs.
In this regard, recent reports have highlighted the black fact that the BMA is soliciting a discussion regarding the application of an ethically controversial approach termed as "elective ventilation", wherein patients confirmed dead are kept alive just for the sake of organ retrieval.
A BMA report released recently has also recommended that hearts may well be taken from newborns as part of an exceptional and first-ever disclosure, which further claimed that their body parts may perhaps be effectively transplanted to other people. Also, transfer of organs from high-risk donors could also be carried out.
Some well-off and highly medical advanced nations, including the likes of the US and Spain, are already practicing the said technique effectively, no matter how strange and insane it may seem.
While expressing his opinion regarding the entire scenario, along with sharing some imperative words regarding the pros and cons of following such techniques for organ transplantation, a professor of transplant surgery at the London-based King's College hospital, Nigel Heaton, said that, "People have qualms about it. The concern is that you are prolonging or introducing futile treatment that has no benefit for the patient. But I expect that views will gradually change around this [in its favour]".
However, he further added that it is nothing less than a cardinal tragedy in progress that a large number of individuals are still dying all over the country just because there's a scarcity of organs for carrying out transplants that can save their lives.
