Abstract

Dissection is being jeopardized in the modern medical education. It has unrelentingly faced the lashes of time and has been the scapegoat for numerous convenient curricula reforms and subjective biases. The cadaver is unparallel in establishing core knowledge among the medical community and it needs to be appreciated in a new light in the "cyber anatomy" realm of today.This article elucidates the medical and ethical validity of continuing human body dissection in medicine which outweighs all the prejudices associated with it.
