Abstract:
Cadaver surgical training (CST) has been developing in Japan in the past 10 years. To perform ethically adequate CST program, sincere respect for the donated body is required. To understand this better, we reviewed the recent scandal at a body donation center in Paris, France. This scandal revealed the disrespectful treatment of donated bodies happening for several years. Therefore, legal regulation over the body donation center has been reinforced. We believe that serious action against disrespectful handling of donated bodies is warranted in Japan.
