Abstract
Since time immemorial, bodies of deceased have been an integral part of teaching anatomy, and therefore the study of medicine. Without them, the teaching of anatomy, clinical anatomy and many research projects could not be realized. Nowadays, the European countries allow to use exclusively bodies of the deceased donors. Recently, we have registered a growing trend in the needs of the bodies not only for the purposes of medical education, but also for those of clinical anatomy. The question also arose of the suitability of using COVID-19 positive donors or the legislative possibility of obtaining bodies in the absence of donors in the donor program. Our communication addresses current issues of body donation for teaching and research purposes and their use in the Czech Republic.
