"The SMA (Singapore Medical Association) is not supportive of legalising organ trade. Apart from the well-recognised short and long-term medical risks to the organ seller, the potential for abuse and exploitation of socio-economically disadvantaged groups and individuals, and the insurmountable difficulties of enforcing organ trade regulations in a transparent and equitable way make it inappropriate for SMA to support any move towards legalising organ trade."
From the 49th SMA Council.
