Beyond the taboo: anatomy down to the bone

In the old days, death was shrouded in taboo and mysticism, but now it’s simply a final destination. And why not do something useful with the body afterwards? 

If you want to have good surgeons, you have to give them sufficient opportunity to practice on real material.  

After a dissection, one minute of silence is observed, out of respect for the dead and gratitude they enabled us to get better at our profession.
