Abstract
We report the case of a 61 year's old patient with an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis who donates his organs after being euthanised. We recall here the strict legal framework of euthanasia and organ donation in Belgium. We also highlight the absolute need to respect the ethical principles essential for the correct implementation of both procedures.
