INTRODUCTION Despite the rapid development of new methods and techniques in organ transplantation, attempts to increase the worldwide donation rate continue rapidly to respond to the increasing demand for organs (1). While it is at the level of 10 to 34 per million/population per year in Western societies (2), this rate is below 5 in Asia (3), and the rate of organ donation from cadavers in our country is 4 per million (4). Although the number of brain deaths detected over the years is increasing, there is no increase in the number of family permissions for organ donation at the same rate. Among the total brain death detection numbers, the rate of brain death with family permission is around 20 percent (5). However, cadavers, indispensable in medical education, have been accepted for many years as a necessity for the education of health personnel. In addition to being dissected to understand the body in anatomy lessons, cadavers are also used for scientific purposes for applying surgical skills and developing new surgical techniques (6, 7). In the literature, many studies conclude that there are obstacles to organ and body donation, such as superstitions, anxiety, fears, sociocultural differences, fiqh concepts belonging to belief systems, and lack of understanding and awareness (8)
