USC Ends Cadaver Use Agreement with U.S. Navy for Medical Training
What happened
The University of Southern California concluded an arrangement between its Keck School of Medicine and the U.S. Navy regarding the transfer of donated human cadavers for medical training provided to Israeli military personnel. The program spanned more than five years and generated over $1 million for the university. Officials stated the agreement ended because the University of California San Diego declined to continue supplying the bodies, citing issues with specialized surgical facilities.

Why it matters
