Not that am obligated to give a response, but I would anyway. Yes! am a fourth year student, and autopsy is one of the topic we discuss under Clinical and radiological anatomy. You should ask questions when you don't understand something, rather than making baseless and silly assumption.

Please what school is that? In your fourth year, an autopsy should be done within the proper contexts in pathology. If you're doing pathology(morbid not clinical anatomy) then I don't see the need for a course called clinical anatomy at that level.
I have a feeling you just heard this from someone and rushed to open a thread.

It seems you missed the first part of his post.



Most likely, as with ALL laws, there is an EXCEPTION clause for scientific/medical purpose.
Perhaps oh!

Oh, Ok, Maybe I did sha.
But I responded going by his last question of how are they supposed to graduate with enough knowledge if they do not have cadavers. Unless he is saying that the Only way his school can get it is by paying for it. Then I understand his worries.

It has legal jurisdiction so far as it is procured to carryout vital medical inquires[sub]
TELL ME THE LEGAL INSTITUTION THAT HAS GRANTED SUCH REQUEST IN NIGERIA? MONETIZATION OF THE CORPSE MAKES IT ILLEGAL. ITS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE SUCH TO SCHOOL THROUGH MINISTRY OF EDUCATION.

@Op..I don't know what you mean that you a fourth year student can't question your lecturer on something she said. No wonder she can serve you guys poo and you swallow.

Another dumb assumption. You would be better off asking questions than making assumption. To maintain the integrity of my post, I have attached a picture of my course outline to show the course title. Your question should be: Why is my school curriculum different from the conventional medical school curriculum, and I would have answered you politely.

Not that I lack the confidence to ask questions, but I can't ask questions like this in class because its not directly related to the course she is taking me, its more of a moral question and it won't benefit the entire class.

Asking questions that query our lecturer's moral stand or the administrative arm of the school is considered rude and may attract an "unofficial consequence" Its Nigeria and things happens.

DO YOU REALLY HAVE A HEART?

Yea...for me not quack....I have to learn very well

Body max index is a measurement that tells us whether a person is overweight or normal weight. if a person have overweight it is one of the leading causes of early death odd structure or appearance. The treatment is to lose excess body weight and improve your overall quality of life. This is one of the best fat burner used by body builders and female to reduce fat concentration in their system and look more healthy http://www.t5fatburners.com.ng/?t_id=SaheedUthman

it is mostly african sentiments. as long as my wife is down with it i see no reason not to commit my dead body to the furtherance of science and saving the lives of the living. lack of acts like this will create a black market as the op described.

I understand all that "unofficial consequences".... but she raised the topic which opens the door for you to question her on it for clarification. Must you question her before the class only? As a fourth year student you shouldn't have this high level of fear of even asking a question. Changes in society usually begin on campuses ...by university students who demand and demonstrate....but here you are defending your fear of asking a question on a given topic. Need to step up bro.

Yesterday during Clinical anatomy lecture (Autopsy) Our lecturer said the bodies (cadavers) in our laboratory are bought by the school, and its against the law to buy human bodies in Nigeria, which means the school is breaking the law to ensure that we are able to use the bodies for practical purpose.

This is my fourth year, and I am hearing the "body buying" crime for the first time, my questions are;

1. Is it really illegal?

2. Who is selling those bodies?

3. How are we supposed to be good medical students when we can't use cadavers in our lab?

I can't ask the lecturer because she's my lecturer! You should know what I mean.

Well i don't know of your school but i can tell u that in Bayero University Kano B.U.K the cadaver used in labs are usually un identified and unclaimed bodies from Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital AKTH, Same for Uniport, the get unclaimed bodies from University of Port Harcourt Teaching hospital UPTH. And these are free. I don't think your lecturer knows what he's saying unless he stands to gain something from yall by saying they purchase it, maybe to extort money.

Jeezyy:
like seriously!!! how do u guys feel touching does things......*spits*

Someone has to do the job of learning how the human body functions. That's how the doctors can fix you if you fall ill, you shouldn't spit on anyone's profession. If everybody drive motor who go be vulcaniser?

All these students dissecting real humans, how do you sleep at night?

Seriously, nac cow dem think sayhuman body be?

They do this to become Medical doctors so that they can treat you and your loved ones should you ever need them, appreciate them.

I meant d part about buying human body. I dpnt think dats right

cold:
I'm seriously contemplating becoming an organ donor and offering my corpse towards medical advancement. Being an Atheist i know i'm not going anywhere anyways so why not just give my body to a worthy cause

Real talk,best contribution since inception of this thread.

echobee:
Me tooooo

the dead bodies in teaching hospitals are are usually contractracted out ... If u need one contact Cliff Orji Baba.. No cause for alarm

SARS divisions all over the country are responsible for supplying fresh bodies to teaching hospitals. They are also big in the organ trafficking trade. With the new health law passed by the National Assembly, SARS will be pushed out of the organ trafficking network and the hospitals themselves will become the major suppliers of organs for the international black market.

It is important to note that the Nigerian Police Force is one of the major opponents of a true National Identity database because such a database will adversely affect the cadaver trade that is a significant source of revenue for them.

Firstly medical students(MBBS/BDS) don't take their courses in units,so you are either and allied medical students or you are not even in medical school.
Secondly ,all medical schoola are attached to a teaching hospital.So the college of medicine is the school and the teaching hospital is for the patients.Usually the teaching hospital owns all unclaimed corpse and they sell it to the college. So its true that anatomy dept buys corpse from the teaching hospital .
Lastly, no matter the style of calendar you use,you can't be doing anatomy in your fourth year!In Medilag here anatomy ends in 2nd year, for most other school it ends in 3rd year.I suspect you are a bsc anatomy student.Stop forming Doctor!

Your comment reeks of ignorance! Where in my post did I "form doctor"? What on earth made you think like that? Yes! I am a B.Tech anatomy student, and I am not "forming doctor " in your words.

My department is under college of health sciences; Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences (hence the term "medical students" in my original post). I never said I am studying medicine, so read and understand before you post a comment.

God! You're so myopic!

You're just talking now. I was wondering how you could be doing anatomy in 400.

bodies are bought from mortuaries by medical schools because most times those bodies have been in the mortuary for about a year. and they were not claimed ... so selling it helps them to recupperrate some of the money they invesred in it.

Your closing remark summarizes the problem with our educational system!
