Conference: “Giving of oneself, the life of another”

Tuesday, March 21, 2017, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Faculty of Law and Political Science, Lecture Hall D, Room 1^er floor of building 1
Organized by AFFDO French Association of Families for Organ Donation
During this conference, we invite you to approach the topic of organ donation from a different perspective.
Talking differently about organ donation means taking a positive approach, not dwelling on the end of life but understanding what an act of solidarity can bring to patients awaiting transplants. Talking differently about organ donation means understanding that saving lives beyond one's own lifetime is not just a slogan but a reality that cannot leave anyone indifferent.
It is essential that all our fellow citizens feel concerned...
Raising awareness and promoting a better understanding of organ donation in our country is the only way to gain acceptance for it and encourage each of us to make our own free choice on the matter.
We all know that donations are rare and precious, and openly expressing our gratitude to donors is obviously another way to raise awareness among the French public and encourage them to give.
To talk about organ donation is to say again and again that this gift of life is only possible thanks to a small number of donors who command our admiration.
Speakers:

• Florence Vachiéry, referring physician, coordinating hospital practitioner;
• Gérard Garcia, president of Affdo;
• Emmanuel Terrier, Senior Lecturer at the Private Law Laboratory of the Faculty of Law and Political Science of Montpellier.
