Article 20, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph ii, concerning the removal of regenerative tissue
Under this provision, the removal of regenerative tissue, for example bone marrow, from a minor may be authorised in exceptional circumstances if the recipient is a brother or sister of the donor. However, regenerative tissue may not be transplanted from an under-age child to one of its parents. This limitation is not compatible with general practice in Denmark, under Section 13 of the act on medical examinations prior to the issue of a death certificate, post-mortem examinations, transplantation, etc (Act No. 402-13/6-1990) and in certain other countries, given that there are cases - albeit very rare - in which donation from a child to a parent cannot be replaced by any other realistic or equal treatment. In such cases, the donation has the potential to be life-saving for the recipient. The tissue in question will be regenerated more quickly in the child, and the actual surgical intervention is a minor one in which the only risk is the risk related to the anaesthesia. If this treatment option is excluded, the result may be that the child will lose his or her mother or father.

Reservation contained in the instrument of ratification deposited on 13 October 2006 - Or. Engl.
In accordance with Article 36 of the Convention, the Government of the Kingdom of Norway reserves the right not to apply Article 20, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph ii, of the Convention, to the effect that Norway also authorises the removal of regenerative tissue from persons who do not have the capacity to consent in cases where the recipient is a child or parent of the donor, or in special cases, a close relative of the donor, cf. section 1, third paragraph, item 2, of Act of 9 February 1973 No. 6 relating to transplantation, hospital autopsies and the donation of bodies, etc. (Transplantation Act).
According to section 1, third paragraph, item 2, of the Transplantation Act, the removal of regenerative tissue from persons who do not have the capacity to consent may be authorised in cases where the recipient is a child or parent of the donor, or in special cases, a close relative of the donor, cf. section 1, third paragraph, item 2, of the said Act. Consequently, the provisions of Norwegian law go beyond those of Article 20, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph
