TRANSPLANT ACCEPTABILITY AMONG THE STUDENTS OF SIBIU FACULTY OF MEDICINE
Abstract:
The issue pertaining to organ removal/receiving, be they from living or declared dead persons,
still remains a current matter. Our opinion survey applied to 745 students from the Faculty of Medicine,
within “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu (with the help of a questionnaire consisting in 10 closed,
factual and opinion questions) showed a high degree of transplant acceptability among these students.
Organ removal from living persons is considered acceptable by 89.80% of the respondents, while the
same procedure, in the case of deceased persons, reaches even higher percentages of acceptance:
92.75%. The willingness to receive organs from a living person also reached a high quota (92.21%), but
there still is a certain degree of reluctance in accepting organs from a deceased (although the
percentage of acceptability is high – 85.64%, it is still lower than in the case of a living person).
