Attitudes of Slovenian students towards whole-body donation, organ donation, and the use of donated bodies in medical education
Despite general support for organ and body donation, registration rates among Slovenian students remain low, including among those exposed to anatomy courses. We propose integrating end-of-life education, humanistic perspectives, and donor commemorative ceremonies into medical curricula to foster trust, ethical awareness, and advocacy for donation.
