Historically, in the healthcare profession, cadaveric tissue has been predominantly used for teaching the architecture of the human body. It is respectful practice in scientific writing to acknowledge colleagues who have helped to collect/analyze data and prepare manuscripts; however, it appears that we have omitted to thank those that have donated themselves for any of these projects to occur. The objective of this study was to investigate the formal acknowledgment thanking those who have given the amazing gift of themselves to science. A literature search was conducted on printed and electronic anatomical and clinical journals. Anatomical and clinical conferences were attended between 2008 and 2012; posters utilizing cadaveric tissue were examined for acknowledgment. University/private institutions were contacted to ascertain if memorial services were held. Literature revealed only one journal that required acknowledgment when donor-cadaver's (DC's) were used. Poster examination revealed very few acknowledgments of DC tissue at clinical conferences. While all university programs (n = 20) held memorial services, only 6 of 20 private procurement organizations had any such event. Our surgical anatomist forefathers faced awkward conditions because cadaveric tissue was not readily available. Contemporarily, anatomists and researchers have ready access to DC's. Socially, these donations are recognized as unparalleled educational tools and gifts, yet often they are not given the appropriate recognition and are overlooked in the publishing and scientific research arena. This research suggests editors, researchers, IRB committees, nonprofit body willed programs, and for-profit procurement organizations formally recognize and/or require recognition of those who donate their bodies for research.
从历史上看，在医疗行业中，尸体组织主要用于教授人体结构。在科学写作中，感谢那些帮助收集/分析数据和撰写稿件的同事是一种值得尊重的做法；然而，我们似乎忽略了感谢那些为使这些项目得以开展而捐献自身的人。本研究的目的是调查对那些将自己惊人的身体奉献给科学的人进行正式致谢的情况。我们对印刷版和电子版的解剖学及临床期刊进行了文献检索。在2008年至2012年期间参加了解剖学和临床会议；检查了使用尸体组织的海报以查看是否有致谢内容。联系了大学/私立机构以确定是否举办了纪念仪式。文献显示只有一本期刊在使用捐赠尸体时要求致谢。海报检查发现临床会议上对捐赠尸体组织的致谢非常少。虽然所有大学项目（n = 20）都举办了纪念仪式，但20个私人采购组织中只有6个举办了此类活动。我们的外科解剖学先辈们面临着尴尬的局面，因为尸体组织并不容易获得。而在当代，解剖学家和研究人员能够轻易获得捐赠尸体。在社会层面上，这些捐赠被视为无与伦比的教育工具和礼物，但它们往往没有得到应有的认可，在出版和科研领域被忽视。这项研究建议编辑、研究人员、机构审查委员会（IRB）、非营利性遗体捐赠项目以及营利性采购组织正式认可和/或要求认可那些为研究捐献身体的人。
