Actually, I did a cadaver dissection for a class and we were told his name, and age and date of death in case anyone in the class knew that person, they could send back and order another body.  IMO, that is the right thing to do.,(reply>), Hmmm. I don't think I would want that because of respecting the patient's privacy. If they expressed before death that they give permission that's fine but unless there's a signed body donor card with that exact wish it worries me. Patient privacy is not respected enough and especially not after death.,(reply>), More bad than good kinda thing
