MACK 225

By Dr. Karen Houle, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy.

In this paper I use a Foucauldian approach to investigate and critique the practice of the philanthropic donation of cadavers to medical research and training.

Sponsored by ‘Initiatives in Global Justice’, and the Canada Research Chair in Ethics & Global Social Change. For details, contact Monique Deveaux, Dept. of Philosophy mdeveaux@uoguelph.ca.
