Abstract :	[en] Before any published Belgian law, EU Directive, and/or EU Action Plan, the donor <br />advocate was naturally a member of the transplantation team performing living kidney <br />donation. The need of donor advocacy appeared obvious with liver living donation, which <br />was and is still a risky procedure. Today, it is clear that the donor advocacy must not be <br />limited to living donation but extended to brain-dead and cardiac-dead donation. <br />Nevertheless, its complexity will need experienced persons in the field of organ donation <br />as well as transplantation, while remembering that patients’ first right is the right to donate.
