Abstract (2. Language):
The Approach of Earthquake Victims to Organ Donation and Autopsy: A Questionnaire Study. Turkey is one of the countries where mass disasters caused by human beings as well as the nature itself are encountered intensively, the former is mainly the traffic accidents and the latter is primarily earthquakes. The deaths resulting from these disasters form an important re-source for organ transplantation. The Act, 2594 which altered the Article 14 of the Act for Organ Removal and Transplantation, 2238, allows that undamaged organs and tissues of those who died of accidents and natural disasters could be removed and transplanted in case they are not accompanied by their relatives. But, however, this kind of organ intake is rarely applied. In this investigation, the reasons of the fact that this act which may form a potential organ intake resource can not be applied were discussed very widely and the approach of eaıthquake victims to the subject was reflected with a questionnaire study. Separately, in this study, their approach to autopsy which deforms the integrity of the body as in the organ intake was questi-oned.

Abstract (Original Language):
Türkiye, insan eli kaynaklı ve doğal kaynaklı kitlesel felaketlerin yaşandığı ülkelerden biridir. Ülkemizde insan eli kaynaklı felaketlerin başında trafik kazaları, doğal kaynaklı felaketlerin başında ise depremler gelmektedir. Halen yürürlükte olan organ ve doku alınması ve nakline ilişkin yasanın 14. maddesi; kaza ve doğal afetler sonucu ölen kişinin yanında akraba ve yakınlarının olmaması durumunda, sağlam doku ve organların vasiyet ve rıza aranmaksızın alınıp nakledilebilmesine olanak vermektedir. Organ temininde önemli bir kaynak oluşturabilme potansiyeline sahip olan bu yasa maddesinin uygulanmama nedenlerini belirlemek amacıyla, deprem felaketini yaşayan 262 deprem mağduruna bir anket uygulanmıştır. Bu ankette ayrıca, doğal afetler sonrası bulunan cesetlere otopsi uygulanmasına yaklaşım sorgulanmıştır.
