Abstract
This article reconsiders the problem of the brain death and the organ
transplantation on the TV news program. Until now, the organ transplantation
from the children who are under fifteen has been forbidden in the Japanese law.
Now this law is to be amended. This is the problematic issue about the knowledge
of the human life and death. So I take one news program about the organ
transplantation. And, by the questionnaire method, I survey the effects of this
program to the viewers. They tend to be oriented to agree with the amendment
of the organ transplantation law in general.
