The Human Tissue Act 2004 (Persons who Lack Capacity to Consent and Transplants) Regulations 2006
These Regulations make provision as to the circumstances in which certain activities may be carried out in relation to material from the body of a person who lacks capacity to consent for the purposes of certain provisions of the Human Tissue Act 2004 (c. 30) (“the Act”). Provision is also made in connection with the restrictions on transplants involving a live donor in section 33 of the Act. This covers the definition of the transplantable material to which those restrictions apply and the circumstances in which live donor transplants are permitted.
