Assistant Professor Dr. Adnan Hashim Jawad, a professor of civil law at our college, participated in the master’s thesis defense committee on “The Right of General Guardianship to Deal with Human Organs and Tissues,” a comparative study submitted by private law student Mukhlis Ali Kamar.
The study aimed to investigate the complexities and contradictions in jurisprudential and legal opinions related to dealing with human organs and tissues, in addition to analyzing the various jurisprudential and legal interpretations of the concept of “the right of general guardianship to deal with human organs and tissues” and the challenges it may face in light of modern medical and technological developments.
The study reached several conclusions, most notably that French, Egyptian, and Iraqi laws permit the donation of human organs and tissues during life or after death to patients or the state for the purpose of therapeutic benefit required by the recipient’s life and without causing serious harm to the donor. Furthermore, Iraqi and Egyptian laws prohibit the donation of reproductive organs completely.
