How to talk to loved ones about organ donation

Give yourself the chance to save 6 lives, improve the lives of several others and ease the grief of your loved ones with a simple conversation. Who says it better than organ donation? And yet. In the 2023 edition of the barometer (1), produced annually by the Biomedical Research Agency, 80% of respondents said they were in favor of donating their organs and tissues, and more than 90% believed it was important to speak up. about it with your loved ones. But less than 50% actually did…

In France, the law is clear: whoever has not said a word during his life agrees to donate his organs and tissues. But in practice it’s a bit more complicated. To express your refusal, you can register (from the age of 13) in the registry maintained by the Agency for Biomedicine. If this fails, the deceased’s relatives will be questioned whether he is in favor of having his organs and tissues removed for transplantation or not. Next, relatives must say or imagine what the deceased would have wanted.

Hard work…
