The Delhi High Court permits a 17-year-old boy to donate part of his liver to his father, who is reported to be suffering from advanced chronic liver disease. The court’s order allows the transplant subject to safeguards meant to protect the minor. It directs the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), Vasant Kunj, to carry out the procedure in strict compliance with legal, ethical, and clinical protocols. Both reports describe the decision as focused on enabling the potentially life-saving transplant while ensuring that the child’s health and safety are prioritized. The court also emphasizes that the institute must follow established procedures during assessment, consent, and the surgical process. The exact medical details of the father’s condition and the specific portion of the liver to be transplanted are not elaborated in the available summaries, but the approval indicates that the court has considered the request and related protections for a minor donor.
