Abstract

Russian Abstract: С позиций социально-гуманитарного знания в статье анализируется проблема дефицита донорских органов и неприятие обществом практик посмертного донорства. В рамках широкой исторической перспективы рассматриваются древние и современные мортальные страхи, обсуждается связь между процессом становления современной медицины и практикой обращения с телами умерших людей. Анализируется влияние социальных кризисов на рост социального недоверия по отношению к медицине, и трансплантациям в частности. Обсуждается роль масс-медиа в формировании негативного образа органного донорства и ставится вопрос о необходимости изменения медийной политики.
