Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh High Court today (Dec 16, 2004) accepted an appeal of mother of degenerative muscular dystrophy patient and ordered to set up another committee to reconsider the question of permitting him to donate his organs.

K Sujata, mother of K Venkatesh, who approached the High Court to fulfill his son's wish to donate his organs, filed another writ petition urging it to appoint another committee comprising of cardiologists to look into health condition of her son and also questioned the validity of the A P Transplantation of Human Organs Act.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Devender Gupta and Justice M Narayana Reddy asked the new committee to submit its report by tomorrow.

The bench would have a special sitting tomorrow to consider the committee's report.

The High Court yesterday rejected the appeal by ailing youth's mother to harvest his organs even though he is not brain dead.

Earlier in the day, Sujata said that she would move the Supreme Court for fulfilling last wish of her son to donate organs and "advance his death".

Venkatesh, who is suffering from muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder, which has no cure, has expressed his last wish of donating his vital organs but the medical and legal opinion confirmed that organs can be donated only from a brain dead persons and the situation does not arise in the case of muscular dystrophy.
