The Legal Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress: The Civil Code prohibits the sale of human organs in any form

　　Regarding the issue of "organ sales", Shi Hong, deputy director of the Civil Law Office of the Legal Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, stated on the 3rd that the Civil Code prohibits the sale of human cells, human tissues, human organs, and remains in any form.

Sales and purchases that violate this regulation are invalid.

The Criminal Law, the "Regulations on Human Organ Transplantation" and other laws and regulations stipulate strict legal responsibilities for the sale of organs.

In addition, with regard to the donation of remains and organs, the Civil Code stipulates that if a natural person has not expressed his disapproval to donate before his life, his spouse, adult children, and parents may jointly decide to donate, and the decision to donate shall be in writing.
