Bare Bones Future Medical Schools May Be Facing A Bare Bones Future, Thanks To A Shortage Of Skeletons. According To An Article In The Medical Post, Most Anatomy Skeletons Come From India And The Indian Government Has Placed A Ban On The Export Of Human Skulls And Skeletons. At Queen'S University, 500 Students Share 300 Skeletons, Four Or Five Of Which Have To Be Replaced Every Year Although The Head Of The Anatomy Department Says The Students Take Good Care Of Them. Anatomists Say It Would Be Extremely Hard To Duplicate The Surface Details With Plastic Skeletons But The Option May Have To Be Considered.
