title: [Opposition to organ donation in France: marker of a growing social divide?].
abstract: Over the past 20 years in France, whereas medical treatments have been advancing, information campaigns on organ donation have multiplied and the Agence de la Biomédecine has been effectively supervising transplant procedures, the donor waiting list has continued to grow. Is this trend linked to a social issue or is it because the law is now unsuitable? The present article examines this question, based on the experience of the President of the Greffe de vie (Graft for Life) Foundation who, for last 7 years, has been trying to increase awareness of organ donation in France.
