Abstract
The text offers an insight into the narratives of church believers in Serbia that were interviewed as ? part of the project ?Church-religious practices of Orthodox believers in Serbia: an anthropological research? from 2021 to 2023. The focus is on topics from the domain of bioethics and modern biomedical procedures concerning the beginning, maintenance and ending of the life of an individual, the well-being of the body, but also of the spirit. Through examples of statements and attitudes on biomedically assisted reproduction, organ donation, euthanasia and abortion, an especially complex relation between church norms, interpretations, rules and real experiences of believers is presented. Believers build these from secular sources, the Orthodox literature they read, popular clergy active on social media that they follow, but also from the official positions of the church hierarchy.
