The publication, by Editora UEFS, is the result of the thesis of free teaching, in which an empirical research was carried out, being later rewritten in book format, in order to inform the population about the ethical and bioethical aspects of organ donation and transplantation in the Brazil. "This work has an academic weight, as it competed for a specific public notice, being judged blindly by peers, and UEFS Editora is affiliated to the Brazilian Association of University Publishers", says Prof. Dr. Liliane Lins.

According to the author, the book also presents data not yet formalized in Brazil on the thought of the Protestant segment on the subject. The material is of interest to health professionals in educating communities and also for their empowerment.
