Dissection: In my first year of medical college, we did dissection. That was in 1986. From that point up to now, technology has changed the method of learning and achieving skills and knowledge. With technology, students can learn faster and better. But various genuine ethical issues have come up. How does dissection help learning to diagnose and management as per preventive and curative concepts of medicine? Are there better methods with existing technology? Yes. Is dissection required in identifying body parts? Do all medical students in first year do dissection themselves? If there are 50 medical students, can a medical college arrange 50 dead bodies for 50 students for their dissection? No. A ban on dissection is inevitable. Why should there be a ban on dissection of human bodies? Is it ethical to dissect a human body? If yes, why shouldn't former and existing heads of the state and health secretaries, directors, and principal medical college’s head of anatomy donate their bodies for dissection? Who is most dear to you? Will you allow your dear ones to be dissected? How is dissection of a dead body different than surgery on a human body for preventive and curative concepts of medicine? Is it ethical to dissect the body of an underprivileged human? No. Have those whose bodies are being dissected given consent? No. What concept of law is applicable to this scenario? Should people be charged for dissecting a human body, especially that of those who have not given consent to dissect before death? Who should be charged? |
