Politically Correct Ethical Thinking and Intubation Practice on Cadavers

Abstract

...In conclusion, until I see good scientific data that patient care is not compromised by requiring consent for resuscitation training on fresh cadavers, I will continue to feel that the societal benefit, lack of harm, and justice outweigh the weak autonomy arguments, and that teaching and perfecting intubation and other resuscitation skills on recently expired patients is necessary for the benefit of society.
