AB - University students have a strong desire for realizing social justice and ideals. Targeting the students of such tendency, the present study analyzed their knowledge, prejudice, recognition and attitudes to withdrawing life-sustaining treatment so that it could learn how those factors would affect the students in making organ donation. For a second purpose, the study aimed to come up with any solutions to the organ donation-related issues, providing basic data which would be used to tell the students about the respect for life and bioethics. Students from three different university in Busan were selected for the research and a survey was carried out for 21 days from March 14, 2010 to April 3, 2010. The students were asked to answer questions by themselves and answers from a total of 303 students were analyzed. According to the results, religious factors would have an influence on the organ donation. They were the one and only factors that was found statically meaningful from other factors. In terms of the recognition of the life extension treatment cease, the organ donation which is expected to be made by the students was believed to be affected as the more the students fail to understand the life extension treatment cease. For the attitudes to the life extension treatment cease. the students’ organ donation turned out to be more influenced as the more the students would go against the voluntary life extension treatment cease and the involuntary life extension treatment cease. The findings were, however, observed not to be statically significant. The students in the research were not those with professional medical knowledge nor experiences of families’ deaths. Nevertheless, they would still need to understand that patients with incurable diseases have rights to die with dignity and to live on a life of a human being. In addition, social and cultural attempts to make the students have positive ideas and attitudes to the organ donation should be conducted.
