Dissection is more than just cutting open a body and looking inside it. It is almost like an adventure in medical research. Andreas Vesalius was the first who revolutionized the idea of opening the body and trying to make sense of how it worked. In Europe during sixteenth and seventeenth century this concept was just being introduced and not an easy one to grasp. Dissection can be a hard subject to conduct to but it’s a subject it can lead to amazing things and discoveries. By using someone's dead body, it can lead to the extension of their life in a long term. Who wouldn't want to have the comfort of knowing that health care will provide more for person’s living, and be able to fix certain things inside the body that were not possible before due to the lack of medical knowledge. Throughout this presentation we will show the wonders of what can be found with dissection and what can be done with the knowledge of medicine. This amazing discoveries lead to medical advancement.

Did he start by cutting open humans? Ew. Did other people object to him dissecting human beings? How did he swing that?
were these bodies that were being dissected donated bodies? where did they come from? were they just bodies that were never identified after death? and what ethical issues could that raise?
When was the first actual surgical procedure? Was it a success? How did they come to know what organ did what? (especailly the organs that aren't obvious)
Why can't we just open and learn from animals instead?
Did he start with humans or animals? How long did it take him to perfect the different methods he used? Is this where the typical "Y" incision used in autopsies comes from?
How has the dissection of humans lead to advancements in the field of medical science? What are the practical uses of human dissection?
