从社会科学的角度来看，我们知道生与死之间的空间是由历史和文化构成的，是流动的，是可以争论的。死亡的定义有文化、法律和政治的维度。随着医疗保健在文化上变得更加多样化，文化与医疗保健提供之间的界面将会增加。在我们日益多元化、相互依存的社会中，将包括移植在内的医疗保健纳入尊重个人和文化多样性的更广泛背景的需求日益增长。重要的是，我们首先要考虑和探索西方医疗实践的哪些要素，包括定义和进步，如脑死亡和器官捐赠，受到文化的影响。这篇文章强调了一些文化对脑死亡的影响，通过关注西方和日本关于从脑死亡的人身上获取器官的许可的观点。它还为跨文化工作的卫生保健工作者提供了4条建议。
From the social sciences, we know the space between life and death is historically and culturally constructed, fluid and open to dispute. The definition of death has cultural, legal, and political dimensions. As healthcare becomes more culturally diverse, the interface between culture and the delivery of healthcare will increase. In our increasingly pluralistic, interdependent society, there is a growing demand to integrate healthcare, including transplantation, into a broader context that respects both individual and cultural diversity. It is important that we first consider and explore what elements of Western healthcare practices including definitions and advances, such as brain death and organ donation, are culturally influenced. This article highlights some of the cultural influences on brain death by focusing on Western and Japanese perspectives on the permissibility of organ procurement from brain-dead persons. It also offers 4 recommendations for healthcare workers working cross-culturally.
