title: [Organ and tissue harvesting in children: comparison of the legal framework in Tunisia and France].
abstract: In Tunisia as in France, the legislator recognized the organ harvesting  as of public health priority. To promote it, cells of coordination are  created, and controlled by regulatory texts. There are differences in  the strategy of organ harvesting in minor but whether he is alive or  dead, he is well protected by law. Organ harvesting in alive child is  prohibited in both Tunisia and France but the haematopoietic cells one  is authorized. In the minor deceased organ harvesting obeys common  principles, appearing in the bioethical law (France) and the law n°91-22  of March 25, 1991 (Tunisia) with a difference in the procedure of the  assent of the legal guardian.
