Counsel Pasience Mlowe is quoted in the Guardian Newspaper of 24.07.14 as saying there is no law (that has a penal sanctions) governing disposal of human remains in relation to the IMTU cadavers. With due respect i think he is wrong or has not researched widely. There is a subsidiary legislation called The Penal Code (Anatomy) No. 192 Rules of 1963 which are enacted under the authority of section 128 of the Penal Code (unless they are now repealed). These rules provide for the following under rule 8 and 9: Rule 8: Where a professor or teacher of anatomy, pathology, medicine or surgery considers it necessary for the instruction of student or for research at a medical school, he may authorize the retention of any part of a body removed to such school under these Rules. Rule 9. Subject to the provisions of rule 8, every body removed to a medical school shall after dissection be decently interred and a certificate of the interment of such body shall be sent to a coroner. Kindly be informed.
