Özet
Informed consent is an integral part of daily anatomical practice. Providing adequate information regarding body donationprocess and emphasizing the importance of use of donated bodies in anatomy education will help the individuals who consider body donation. Current legislation that regulates body donation in Turkey does not provide details on the consentprocess. Additionally, recent research showed that registered Turkish body donors have various opinions on the use of theirbodies, sharing their personal information with the departments and medical students, and retention time of their bodies orbody parts. This resulted in non-standard or modified donation forms across different institutions. Therefore, the TurkishSociety of Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy (TSACA) decided that a standard and more comprehensive body donation formthat addresses contemporary topics was necessary. The newly established Committee for Body Donation and CadaverMonitoring has been assigned with this task. As of May 2020, the Committee had finalized the updated body donation formaccording to departmental feedback and donors’ opinions. This paper outlines the existing data and reasons along with thelegal grounds for the current update.
