In 2021, Texas medical schools accepted 446 unclaimed bodies, or bodies not taken by the family for burial or cremation, about 14% of all cadaver donations....
“There’s a misperception that, as more people have stepped up to donate their bodies to science, this kind of procurement either no longer happens or is in continual decline, and our study shows that this is not the case in Texas,” said study author Eli Shupe, assistant professor of philosophy and humanities at UT Arlington.
“It raises questions about justice and fairness, because now the burden of providing medical education is falling disproportionately on vulnerable and marginalized members of society,” said Dr. Matthew DeCamp, associate professor in the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
“Anatomy lab is often one of the most profound and important experiences a student can have, not just because of learning anatomy but also because of learning some of the fundamental values of the medical profession and respecting human dignity,” DeCamp said.for medical training, but the tools don’t provide the same real-world experience to students, said Rustin Reeves, director of the Center for Anatomical Studies at UNTHSC.
Only two of the state’s 14 medical schools directly accepted unclaimed bodies, while another four schools received transferred cadavers from schools that used unclaimed bodies. The other eight schools had no possible use of unclaimed bodies, the study said.
