This week on DIE we take a look at exhibitions that display the intricacies of the human body, and elaborate on organ and full body donation options. It’s a good way to contribute to scientific research and the teaching of future medical practitioners! We also discuss the sordid history of the acquisition and ethical uses of cadavers, and the drive towards repatriation of remains to indigenous peoples. Listen and learn, Land of the Living!
