abstract: THE FRENCH LAW ON BIO-ETHICS BEING REVISITED: The GRET (Group on ethical aspects of transplantation) makes a series of proposals in order to update some articles of the law, this being considered as a considerable progress. BONE MARROW GRAF: The new concept of graft of "Hematopoietic stern cells" including their different sources, better reflects the current practice, remaining considered basically as an organ. ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION, WITH LIVING DONOR: The extension to new categories of donors is proposed, with, however, the creation of a multidisciplinary committee of experts and representatives of the society in charge of the evaluation of the motivations, with objective criteria. ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION, DECEASED DONOR: A better information of the public, together with the help of Associations is proposed, and the creation of help units in order to provide support for family members, who come in emergency as witnesses and greatly need support and help.
