Abstract
Organ transplantation is a victim of its success: there is now a crisis in the development of this activity. The numerous new achievements have raised much spectacular but, also, fragmented information by the media, leading the public to be confused and not willing to easily accept the new concepts. Moreover, the sophisticated and expansive organization which is now necessary to run the transplantation activities has made the state an obligatory ruler, leaving the professional in second place and creating a frustrated feeling among the transplant team.
