Article Abstract:

Issues relating to the teaching of anatomy in medical schools are examined. Some academics argue that with the level of new technology that is available, anatomy can be taught using techniques such as medical imaging and by practicing on living patients, however some surgeons and medical academics believe that dissecting an human body is one of the best ways to find out how it works and that anatomy cannot be taught adequately without using cadavers.
