Abstract:
Before organ harvesting, previous information of the donor's family is mandatory in France. However information's content and consequences are not specified and may vary widely between hospitals. In some institutions, relatives are only informed of harvesting intent; in others, some teams require family's authorization before harvesting. To make easier and more efficient this information some improvements are suggested.
