CADAVER RESEARCH.....thoughts?
do you oppose it and/or find it morally wrong? why?
(cadaver means a dead human body intended for dissection)
Answers:
Wrong? Absolutely not.
I really want the doctor who's operating on me to know what organs he's/she's looking at when they accessible me up. New doctors can only do this by dissecting cadavers, although computer models are getting better adjectives the time.
Depending on my family's wishes at the time of my death, I plan to donate my body to science, if organ donation is not an option. The likely consequences of this to my defunct tissues doesn't freak me out at adjectives.
After all, if a person's dead body is not humanly interfered with (embalming, dissection, organ donation, cremation), look at what Mother Nature does to it. I can't see anyone calling *those* results "morally wrong." How is deliberate research any messier or worse than rotting?
I'm in medical school and we use cadaver to learn anatomy (and later I will use them to practice surgeries). I absolutely support cadaver research (I plan to donate my body when I die... what use am I to rot within the ground?) But, I disagree with some of the methods used to obtain the bodies. When I was within undergrad in Anatomy lab, the method was something I agreed with: it be the donated body program. But, now I go to school within Mexico and the protocol is to use the unclaimed bodies. The problem is, our school has to wait adequate time for the bodies to be claimed. This is obvious good for any family of the departed, but bad for us. By the time we get the bodies, they are very feeble and tough to learn by. Also, it is a very different perspective because in the US anatomy labs, the cadaver were old and usually died of old age. In Mexico, the cadaver have broken legs and gun shot wounds, etc.
I think it's very essential, but I wish first of all that more people donated their bodies, and secondly that it be always done in a way that be legitimate and respected the wishes of the family and the deceased.
