Abstract

Organ transplantation is a complex medical procedure that replaces damaged organs with healthy organs from a donor. Although advances in health technology have increased the success of organ transplants, the high demand for organs has led to the rise of the illegal organ trade. In Indonesia, the buying and selling of organs is prohibited and donation is only allowed on a voluntary basis. The transplant process involves a great deal of responsibility on the part of doctors and hospitals, who must comply with regulations such as the Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation No. 290/MENKES/PER/III/2008. However, the legal vacuum regarding patient-patient relationships, including donor compensation, potentially opens a loophole for unethical organ trafficking. This study examines the law enforcement and regulation of organ transplantation in Indonesia through a doctrinal approach, with the aim of creating more comprehensive regulations to protect the rights of donors and recipients. With firm and clear regulations, it is hoped that organ transplants in Indonesia can be carried out ethically and responsibly, protecting all parties involved from exploitation and illegal practices.
