From the standpoint of social and humanitarian knowledge, the article analyzes the problem of the shortage of donor organs and resistance to the practice of deceased donation
Представляется необходимым, в контексте возникновения атмосферы доверия в обществе, создание такой площадки формирования мнений, где мортальные, базовые страхи общества были бы преодолены так, как это могло бы быть сделано только в XXI веке – с помощью авторитетных высказываний и новых медийных технологий, что послужило бы гарантией возможности защиты уязвимого меньшинства (пациентов) здоровым большинством ценой минимальных посмертных потерь, определяемых нашими тленными телами
Summary
From the standpoint of social and humanitarian knowledge, the article analyzes the problem of the shortage of donor organs and resistance to the practice of deceased donation. Эта практика распространилась по всей Европе, где для этого стали возводить большие анатомические театры, которые не только служили целям медицинской науки, но и были местом публичных зрелищ.
