Good practice recommendations for the donation of human bodies and tissues for anatomical examination have been produced by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA). Against the background of these recommendations, the ethical values underlying them were outlined. These were the centrality of informed consent, their non-commercial nature, and the respect due to all associated with donations including family members. The latter was exemplified in part by the institution of thanksgiving services and commemorations. A number of issues in the recommendations were discussed, including the movement of bodies across national borders, donor anonymity, taking images of bodies and body parts, and the length of time for which bodies can be kept. Outstanding questions in connection with body donation included the availability of bodies for research as well as teaching, allowing TV cameras into the dissecting room, and the display of archival material in anatomy museums. Future prospects included whether IFAA could be formulating a position on the public exhibition of plastinated human material, and in what ways IFAA could assist countries currently dependent upon the use of unclaimed bodies.
国际解剖学家协会联合会（IFAA）制定了关于捐赠人体和组织用于解剖检查的良好实践建议。在这些建议的背景下，概述了其背后的伦理价值观。这些价值观包括知情同意的核心地位、非商业性质以及对包括家庭成员在内的所有与捐赠相关人员的尊重。后者部分体现在感恩仪式和纪念活动的设立上。讨论了建议中的一些问题，包括尸体跨国运输、捐赠者匿名、拍摄尸体和身体部位的照片以及尸体可保存的时间长度。与尸体捐赠相关的未决问题包括用于研究和教学的尸体的可获得性、允许电视摄像机进入解剖室以及在解剖博物馆展示档案材料。未来的前景包括IFAA是否可以就塑化人体材料的公开展览制定立场，以及IFAA可以以何种方式协助目前依赖使用无人认领尸体的国家。
