We hereby introduce two projects that have resulted from mpiric researches to which we have applied the methodology of Collective Subject Discourse. The contents of these two projects concern the theme of religiosity and its relation with health, including topics about how death is dealt with in ospitals, and about the use of morning-after pills. Regarding the topic about death, some medical students and faculty members from a large university hospital in Rio de Janeiro were interviewed. Meanwhile, young men and women of age 13 to 20, as well as health professionals, were asked about the use of morning-after pills in the south region of São Paulo. Our findings must not be generalized, therefore the research data show current dynamic processes about how death and moral values are understood (or should be understood), which cannot be easily framed within a strict scientific-technological perspective.
