Organ, tissue donor law in limbo after Bill collapses

Plans to streamline the harvesting, security and management of human organs have gone up in smoke after key players failed to reach a consensus.

At the centre of the dispute is whether blood can mix with solid body parts. On one hand is the Ministry of Health that wants all body organs and tissue, including blood, to be regulated under one law.

On the other hand, are professional groups led by doctors and laboratory workers who have successfully argued the two cannot mix and should be regulated separately.
