Medical students dissecting human bodies
Question

                I'm currently a medical student.  In Medical school we are required to disect and examine human cadavers (dead bodies).  This is a very important part of the study of medicine and cannot be avoided.  Is taking part in such practices for the purpose of being a doctor Haram?
Praise be to Allah.If the cadaver is that of a dead kaafir, then 
          it is OK. But if it is the body of a Muslim, then it is not permitted, 
          because that involves disrespect, as well as uncovering the ‘awrah. 
           It was reported that the Prophet  
          (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The sanctity of the 
          dead is like the sanctity of the living, and breaking the bone of a 
          dead believer is like breaking it when he is alive.”
