The use of social media opens content to the general public and, as a result, places images of cadaveric dissection in an open forum. This raises the question: should the general public have access to such material? A survey was conducted examining whether the general public should have access to gross cadaveric dissection images and videos for educational purposes via social media. Both medical and laypersons were queried. Questions included in the survey considered whether images were too graphic, whether online cadaveric content should be age-restricted, and whether consent by the deceased was necessary. A link to the survey was accessible to 63,562 followers through the Seattle Science Foundation's Facebookpage for 3 weeks. Among 300 responders, 89% (267/300) agreed that portrayals of cadaveric specimens/dissection on social media should be accessible by the general public for anatomical education, and 84.67% (254/300) stated that cadaveric dissection is not too graphic for untrained eyes. There was agreement by 60.33% (181/300) that an age restriction should be in place for the viewing of cadaveric dissection on social media, and 39.33% (253/300) of responders suggested restriction to 18 years and older. No statistically significant association was noted between a prior or current history of anatomy education and the frequency of positive responses to the survey questions. Social media is an innovative tool for dispensing anatomical education. The use of cadaveric images and videos provides accessibility to the general public who wish to learn more about human anatomy and their own body. Clin.

社交媒体的使用使内容向公众开放，因此将尸体解剖的图像置于公开论坛上。这就提出了一个问题：公众是否应该访问此类材料？进行了一项调查，以了解公众是否应该通过社交媒体访问用于教育目的的大体尸体解剖图像和视频。调查对象包括医学生和非医学生。调查中的问题包括图像是否过于生动、在线尸体内容是否应限制年龄以及死者是否需要同意。该调查的链接在西雅图科学基金会的 Facebook 页面上向 63562 名关注者开放了 3 周。在 300 名回应者中，89%（267/300）同意公众应可以通过社交媒体访问尸体标本/解剖的图像，以进行解剖学教育，并且 84.67%（254/300）表示未经训练的眼睛看尸体解剖并不太生动。有 60.33%（181/300）的人同意应该对社交媒体上的尸体解剖观看设置年龄限制，并且 39.33%（253/300）的回应者建议限制在 18 岁及以上。在解剖学教育的先前或当前历史与对调查问题的积极回应频率之间没有发现统计学上的显著关联。社交媒体是一种用于解剖学教育的创新工具。使用尸体图像和视频为希望更多地了解人体解剖结构和自身身体的公众提供了便利。临床解剖学 32:1033-1041,2019。©2019 威利期刊公司。
