The purpose of this study was to identify the factors which influence our nursing students’ attitudes toward life and death and investigate their views on brain death. Two hundred and three undergraduates voluntarily took part in this study and completed an unsigned questionnaire. The following results were obtained. 1． More than seventy percent of the students had suffered the death of a family member or a familiar person. 2． More than eighty percent of the students had opportunities to think about life and death. About forty percent of the students had opportunities to discuss their thoughts and ideas about life and death. 3． More than fifty percent of the students had some knowledge of brain death and organ transplantation. 4． Those students who accepted the concept of brain death assumed a cautious attitude toward brain death and organ transplantation. They wavered in their judgment about regarding brain death as death. Data indicated that their attitudes were influenced by variables such as relationship with the brain-dead person and the subjects’ imagined status (person vs health-care professional vs organ transplantation recipient, etc.)
