[Genetic program aid thanatogenesis].

Abstract

The paper develops the thesis on the association between the genetic pattern of the organism, the nature of its diseases and the mode of its dying. Four variants of relationships between the gentic and environmental factors are discussed and in each of them the importance of these factors in tanatogenesis is evaluated. The arguments are presented in favour of the concept that genetic pattern of the organism is the most essential inner cause of the diseases and the death in the majority of cases except the situations in which extreme environmental factors are involved.
