The principle is simple: a film followed by a conference-debate on a health-related theme, tackling ethical issues and bringing together the viewpoints of doctors, patients and members of civil society.
For this first Cin éthique session of the 2017/2018 academic year, the film screened will be My life for yours, a Nick Cassavetes film - 2009.
This will be followed by a debate on the theme of "Don d'organes, don de soit : actualités et perspectives" (organ donation, self-donation: news and perspectives), bringing together a superb line-up of different players directly or indirectly affected by this issue:

  • Prof. Gérald Chanques (anesthesiologist) ;
  • Prof. Francis Navarro (digestive surgeon) ;
  • Pr. Rodolphe Thuret (urologist) ;
  • Dr. Florence Vachiery (organ procurement coordinator) ;
  • Olivier Boyaval and Gérard Garcia (AFFDO association)

Admission is free and open to all.
