Introduction: As Polish society is in its majority Christian, the knowledge and attitudes presented by priests may have a tangible impact on Church mem-bers’ decisions concerning organ donation. Purpose: To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and decisions of priests of various Christian denomina-tions regarding organ transplants in Poland. Materials and methods: The paper presents the re-sults of a study carried out in the form of a question-naire survey of 86 priests. Survey participants in-cluded priests of 3 most common Christian denomi-nations in Poland: Catholic, Protestant and Eastern Orthodox. Results: Awareness of the current regulatory frame-work among the clergy is relatively low. Only a small percentage gave correct answers to questions about applicable laws regulating the matter of organ transplantation in Poland. Conclusions: Data gathered during the study implies a positive attitude among priests towards organ transplantation performed to save life and improve health. A vast majority of survey participants support the idea of transplantation. The problem is low awareness of existing documents and laws regulating organ transplantation.

Transplantation is the most spectacular success of medicine in the XX century. Transplantation became the effective and standard method of treatment of end-stage organ failure. It enable not only improvement of the quality of life, but prolong survival as well. How it was a long history dating back into the ancient times. Development of clinical transplantation was possible owing to the enormous progress in surgical techniques, invention of vascular anastomoses, knowledge of immunological mechanisms underlying tolerance and rejection processes, development of immunosuppressive therapy and multidisciplinary cooperation. We learnt about the new techniques of assessment of HLA matching, preservation of retrieved organs, new immunosuppressive regimens, more efficient antirejection therapy and prophylaxis of complications, mainly infections. The future should bring the further development of clinical transplantation, however we should be aware of new challenges as xenotransplantation, stem cells or tissue cultures or even development of artificial organs cultured in the laboratories using human cells and tissues.
