[Living donors in kidney and liver transplantation].
The shortage of organs available for transplantation has rekindled the interest for the kidney living donor, and has recently induced the use of living donors for liver transplantation too. Both methods raise many medical and ethical interrogations. The aim of this paper is to analyse this type of organ harvesting, and to report our experience and results with kidney and liver living donors.
