介绍:
Guangzhou, the capital of south China's Guangdong Province, has passed a regulation to allow body donors to bypass family consent requirements.
This is the latest effort to alleviate a severe cadaver shortage in China's medical schools.
The regulation has removed a provision that consent from all direct relatives must be obtained before a body is donated.
The new rule states clearly that a donor can decide themselves whether they want their body donated or not.
It also allows institutions, including nursing homes and residents' committees, to donate the bodies of elderly people who have elected donation but have no children or spouse to carry out their wishes after death.
