There is no substitute for dissecting a human body to gain hands on experience. I’m donating my body to the local medical school when I die so that future doctors can get that experience. I would rather use my carcass to train doctors than have my family spend money on an expensive funeral

One key issue that is not allowed to be spoken of: much higher rates of female doctors.

Females generally do not seek out surgical specialties. It doesnt seem to appeal to their career goals.

Now that the majority of med students are female, we have an inevitable shortage of incoming and current surgeons.

Not to mention that female doctors only practice for about 2/3rds as long as male Drs. Which is going to cause additional Dr shortages in my lifetime.
