No Corpses Hinder Georgia Anatomy Board Bond Issue
The Georgia Anatomical Board refuses to accept bodies for dissection as the Hospital Medical College has not posted the required $5,000 bond. An investigation at the capitol shows no official aware of the bond law or filings from other state medical colleges. The board oversees corpses from state institutions and enforces handling laws, while the new college faces delays and possible legal penalties for seeking bodies from other states. Attorney General Hart is examining the situation.
