256 HUMAN DISSECTION. ITS DRAMA AND STRUGGLE 



In terms of balance, this is probably the clue to the future, 

 that it is really the people who have to weigh the merits of hu- 

 man dissection, the value of its long practice in the field of medi- 

 cal education, against their deep-seated religious beliefs, which 

 are natural and to which they have been conditioned throughout 

 their lifetimes. 



There is evidence that more and more people are willing 

 their bodies to medical schools for the promotion of anatomi- 

 cal science and some institutions have carried their problem to 

 the masses with success, notably the University of California in 

 Los Angeles. Recently, they had over 300 bequests on file (Special 

 feature article, '55).
