RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 From undergraduate to postgraduate uses of the dead human body: consequential ethical shift JF Journal of Medical Ethics JO J Med Ethics FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP medethics-2019-105997 DO 10.1136/medethics-2019-105997 A1 D Gareth Jones YR 2020 UL http://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2020/02/13/medethics-2019-105997.abstract AB The dependence of surgical training programmes on the supply of bodies by for-profit organisations places them at serious ethical risk. These risks, with their commodification of the bodies used in the programme, are outlined. It is concluded that this is not a satisfactory model for the trainees’ subsequent interaction with living patients and that a code of practice is required.
