title: [Minor donor of bone marrow graft: medico-legal aspects].
abstract: Bone marrow transplantation can provide long-term disease-free survival when used as therapy for a variety of lethal disorders. Authors discuss about the underage donor consent and review the literature. In conclusion they consider that Bone Marrow donation is too important to leave its decision only to parents; they suggest to institute professional committees that consider donor will and verify on which basis he expresses his consent.
