Abstract: Advancements in medicine introduced a relatively invented death into our lives: Brain Death. It intermingles with our perceptions of classical death due to knowing the heart is beating, the color of the skin is pink, and the body's temperature is warm. Hence, accepting brain death as death might get complicated in terms of relatives of the brain-dead person. The interviews revealed that the reluctance to cadaveric organ donations is highly connected to the cultural perception of death. Furthermore, folklore interferes with altruistic cadaveric donations, particularly folk beliefs, rituals, social norms, and oral traditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
