The Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) passed legislation on Thursday prohibiting organ harvesting from military and civilian casualties of Russia’s invasion. The measure, Law No. 9558 “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Improving the Organization of Medical Care Using Transplantation”, received broad support with 254 of 313 lawmakers voting in favor.

Why? Free organs in a world that desperately needs organs.
Maybe an arrangement fell through, or they can no longer spare the logistical capacity to do it, or something? Idk it’s a weird decision
If I’m dead and my lungs are still viable, cut them the fuck out.
Here’s the problem when you say that in a war. You’re alive, you’re an enemy combatant and/or civilian, you are now dead, victim of a tragic mishap or some sort, and your lungs are still viable, cut the fuck out and sold to fund the war. If you were lucky, there was still anesthesia left.
It’s a terrible proposition to even consider accepting transplants from warzones. It’s begging for warcrimes. Even if the state says harvesting from live people is illegal, it’s a war. A lot falls under the cracks.
You can just regulate it and make the data public. War crimes? Everyone sees it. Only people who are allowed to harvest them can do it and that also solves all the other stuff. I think thats a pretty good solution. Also, nobodys funding a war with organs, they are used to save lives.
Tell us you know nothing about anything without telling us you know nothing about anything…
uuuuh, it wasn’t a thing? 😱
