My grandpa died from heart disease 15 years ago and my dad also has serious heart problem now, so I want to study cardiology in the near future(this fall) to help millions of Americans and other people who suffer from heart problem. I will study cardiology related engineering. I want to know if I can get a human heart to study, I mean either from hospital, medical school or other places, or maybe if I cannot get it, where can I have a dissection course or training? And also if there is any regulation/law with regard to human tissue transportation? Also if there is any ethical issues for this kind of request? Please email me. God bless all of us. Stan

Try your local uni/college in the Anatomy/Physiology departments. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950909.html Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long.

Would suggest you check with your local medical school. Your best bet is to go on their web site and seek out someone from the department of pathology. > And also if there is any regulation/law with regard to human tissue transportation? There are. It is likely that you won't be able to remove the heart tissue from the medical school laboratory. > Also if there is any ethical issues for this kind of request? The pathology professor will be able to address those for you. > Please email me. God bless all of us. > May His will be done. Servant to the humblest person in the universe, Andrew -- Dr. Andrew B.
