Are you dying to meet a fit young doctor?
Wanted: Male/female with GSOH, age/looks irrelevant. Must be dead.
Royal College of Surgeons hopes to meet responsible and civic-minded people prepared to donate their bodies to science.
The College, is training the next generation of surgeons, but an acute shortage of corpses is threatening their ability to teach anatomy properly.
Each year, about 700 people will die having donated their bodies be dissected after death. But the College needs 1,000 cadavers every year for each medical student to get proper dissection and anatomy experience.
