Abstract

This article examines the place attributed to symbols and symbolic exchange in organ transplantation. In the first part, the paper studies the symbols thanks to which the Agence de la biomédecine endeavors to increasing the procurement rate through its exhortation policy. In the second part, the papers examines whether the procurement of organs pertains to the realm of the exchange of symbolic goods. In conclusion, the paper singles out the notion of organizational gift, in order to conceptualize the nature of the relation between families and the professionals when the procurement of organs is at stake.
