- Reasons for recommending:
A pretty cool investigation about organ donation in China's background. Organ donation is more prevelant in western cultures, at least it's an ordinary topic for them, e.g., when applying for a driver's license, there's a check-box on the application form for you to indicate whether you are willing to donate your organs if "something" happens. In China, it's more of problem with family and social pressure coming from traditional concept. Based on the perspective of psychology, they investigated the factors affecting the likelihood of family discussion about organ donation. It serves socially pragmatic value for medical service.
