No blood or its components may be collected for therapeutic use by a third party from a minor or from an adult who is the subject of a legal protection measure with representation relating to the person.
However, in the case of minors, a sample may be taken in exceptional circumstances, when this is required for reasons of therapeutic urgency or when no immunologically compatible donor of legal age has been found.
In such cases, the donation may only be carried out with the express written consent of each of the holders of parental authority.
If the minor refuses, the donation cannot be carried out.
