BODY DONATION: A LIFE AFTER LIFE
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Anatomy is the branch of medicine where study of structures of human body is done at the level of first year of academic course of every medical profession. Dissection or cadaveric anatomy is the only efficient tool to gain the knowledge of human body structures. A medical student who never stepped in the cadaveric laboratory of his institute during his first year can neither be a good physician or surgeon in his medical career. So dissection plays a very important role in learning anatomy completely. Now a day there is a tremendous lack of cadavers in medical institutes due to ever increasing number of institutes. The supply of cadavers is very less as compared with the demand. Government hospitals are trying at their best to provide unclaimed bodies to the medical institutes but this effort is facing limitations. So there is a need of body donation awareness in public so that maximum cadavers should be obtained from this way and the hunger of cadavers of medical institutes is satisfied at some level.
