Abstract
After enactment of the Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994, brain dead person remains the primary source of organs obtained for transplantation purpose in India. With increasing demand of organs for transplantation purpose, the non-heart-beating donors can fulfill the need up to some extent.

For implementing these programs in India, a comprehensive discussion should be made for formation of comprehending policy.
