IS THERE A MEANING TO DEATH? THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN THE NATIONAL TRANSPLANT SYSTEM IN LIGHT OF SDG 4
This research presents a sensitive and meticulous analysis of the National Transplant System (SNT) in Brazil. Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 indicates quality education as a contributing factor to more conscious decision-making, expanding the effectiveness of the SNT in Brazil. The question of whether death has meaning highlights the importance of biopsychoethical work in Brazil, with Viktor Emil Frankl's thesis considered an anchor for addressing the topic in a mature and welcoming manner. The methodology is based on bibliographic references that aid in understanding the bioethical reality in Brazil, covering the grieving process and the wait for an organ or tissue transplant. The case study method affirms the essential role that organ and tissue donation plays in allowing children to continue loving and developing. The reality of little Pedro Mathias and Pedro Mirella is presented with warmth and respect, in order to promote reflection on the National Transplant System and organ donation for children in Brazil. The overall objective is to use education as a formative and promising way to raise awareness in society about organ and tissue donation, as well as the possibilities of transforming the pain of loss into a life mission. The specific objectives are aligned with the SNT as a national policy that can be solidified from early childhood education through higher education, with bioethics included as a multidisciplinary and compulsory subject. The hypotheses are based on Sustainable Development Goal No. 4, with education being a possible way to combat misinformation regarding the SNT in Brazil. Furthermore, the hypothesis of digital activism is seen as a communion of meaning, uniting the reality of families who have lost a child with the daily lives of families who are waiting for a yes to the continuity of life.

Abstract:
This research presents a sensitive and meticulous analysis of the National Transplant System (SNT) in Brazil. Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 indicates quality education as a contributing factor to more conscious decision-making, expanding the effectiveness of the SNT in Brazil. The question of whether death has meaning highlights the importance of biopsychoethical work in Brazil, with Viktor Emil Frankl's thesis considered an anchor for addressing the topic in a mature and welcoming manner. The methodology is based on bibliographic references that aid in understanding the bioethical reality in Brazil, covering the grieving process and the wait for an organ or tissue transplant. The case study method affirms the essential role that organ and tissue donation plays in allowing children to continue loving and developing. The reality of little Pedro Mathias and Pedro Mirella is presented with warmth and respect, in order to promote reflection on the National Transplant System and organ donation for children in Brazil. The overall objective is to use education as a formative and promising way to raise awareness in society about organ and tissue donation, as well as the possibilities of transforming the pain of loss into a life mission. The specific objectives are aligned with the SNT as a national policy that can be solidified from early childhood education through higher education, with bioethics included as a multidisciplinary and compulsory subject. The hypotheses are based on Sustainable Development Goal No. 4, with education being a possible way to combat misinformation regarding the SNT in Brazil. Furthermore, the hypothesis of digital activism is seen as a communion of meaning, uniting the reality of families who have lost a child with the daily lives of families who are waiting for a yes to the continuity of life.
