Reason to Listen: Whether the thought of cadavers makes you queasy or not you should understand their purpose …show more content…

Mary Roach says “Surgeons of disciplines benefit from the chance to try out new techniques and equipment on cadaveric specimen.” (Roach 26), she also says the the gross anatomy experience is vital as it is often the students first encounter with death, and is a necessary step for them to become doctors.
