10 Consents to removal of regenerative tissue from children

A parent of a child may give consent in writing to the removal from the child’s body of specified regenerative tissue for the purpose of its transplantation to the body of a parent (being a biological parent, step-parent or adoptive parent), brother or sister of the child.

Note: A child must understand the nature and effect of the removal of tissue if a medical practitioner’s certificate is to be issued under section 11. If a child is not capable of such understanding, a medical practitioner’s certificate must be issued under section 11A and only transplantation to the body of a brother or sister is allowed.
