The progress in organ transplantation is leading an increase in the demand for organs. Any non-harvested organs from a dead child mean at least a delay or even the loss of hope for life. All brain dead children do not undergo organ harvesting because there are still obstacles. The definition of brain death must be clear and include the destruction of all the brain system. Intensive care units must be motivated by improved contacts with transplantation teams. The number of parents who refuse could decrease with better public information, good contacts with medical teams and the quality of discussion with parents when a child dies. Energy should be concentrated on improving the collective consciousness about this new aspect of medicine.
