    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the estimates made by U.S. medical schools on the statistics for bodies by bequest which is only 20%. It notes on the case of Grace Metalious who died and wanted to donate her body in the interest of medical science, but her daughter opposed it. It is said that learning is more beneficial when a body is dissected and shared by only two medical students. It highlights the Metalious case that depicted the difficulty and anxiety of every medical school in the U.S.
