During the many years I worked as a hospital chaplain, one of the unusual and touching experiences I had was sharing, annually, in the memorial service provided by the medical school for the bodies that acted as teaching cadavers for anatomy students through the school year. Every week, some people who die leave their bodies to a medical school for use as they see fit. When the school term starts in autumn, medical students are divided into teams of three or four, and each one is assigned a cadaver — the formal term for a dead body. The students are carefully instructed on the ethical importance of treating these former husbands, mothers, daughters, and sons as human beings who will help them learn the intricacies of anatomy throughout the school year. In effect, the cadaver becomes the teacher of anatomy to the soon-tobe doctors. Without the knowledge they gain this way, they would be far less helpful to us in knowing how our knee works, how our kidneys are structured how our lungs are made. The students do not know the name of their cadaver, so they give him/ her a name. The names are given with respect, because these no-longer-living people become, effectively, part of their group for the next nine months. In a sense, they become a family member of their group. So they are called “Red,” or “Joe,” “Mr. Stern,” “Marilyn,” or “Katherine Hepburn.” All year, two or three times a week, the anatomy students learn about the human body from their non-living member, who has agreed to offer their tissues in the cause of medical education.
