Anatomy is a major basic subject in medicine and related biomedical sciences. A central tool most universities use for teaching anatomy is the "dissection course", in which medical students learn the basic constructional principles of the human body by dissecting a cadaver. In recent years, the relevance and value of the dissection laboratory have been under discussion at different universities due to high costs and problems of shortness in time in some medical curricula. Indeed, during the last 10 years, several universities in the US and the UK have abandoned dissection and have moved from a cadaver-oriented to a cadaverless anatomy. This development results in a fundamental discussion on the role of the "dissection course" in the medical curriculum, ultimately raising the question as to whether we should continue teaching anatomy by dissection. This article presents nine arguments for the dissection course as a central tool for teaching macroscopic anatomy and is an attestment to the continuation of the use of cadaver material in anatomical laboratories within the auspices of scholastic and university order for the benefit of future physicians with due respect and honour guaranteed for every donor.
解剖学是医学及相关生物医学科学中的一门主要基础学科。大多数大学用于教授解剖学的核心工具是“解剖课程”，在该课程中，医学生通过解剖尸体来学习人体的基本构造原理。近年来，由于成本高昂以及一些医学课程存在时间紧张的问题，解剖实验室的相关性和价值在不同大学中一直处于讨论之中。事实上，在过去十年里，美国和英国的几所大学已经放弃了解剖，并且从以尸体为导向的解剖学转向了无尸体解剖学。这一发展引发了关于“解剖课程”在医学课程中作用的根本性讨论，最终提出了我们是否应该继续通过解剖来教授解剖学这一问题。本文提出了九条支持将解剖课程作为教授大体解剖学核心工具的论据，并且证明在学术和大学秩序的支持下，解剖实验室将继续使用尸体材料，以造福未来的医生，同时确保对每位捐赠者给予应有的尊重和敬意。
