ANATOMICAL STUDY.
Shortage of Material Must be
Prevented.
DOCTOR OFFERS HIMSELF.
LONDON, March 2,
Dr. Richard Whitting, of Hove, in a letter to the "Medical Journal" says: "It is time for doctors themselves to prevent a shortage of suitable material for anatomical schools, by offering their own bodies where the act would not offend the sentimental susceptibilities of those they have left'behind. "If after that catastrophic • event, death, we know what is going on, is there anything unpleasant in the thought that lighthearted students are gathered round us?"
The writer says he is not advocating something that he is not prepared to do, and therefore he has offered his. own body to the Oxford Medical School.
