If a woman has given consent, I don't see what the problem is. Medical students have to learn somehow, have to learn techniques so they don't harm anyone once they're in practice. I only go to teaching hospitals. I like the med students and the attending physicians are usually the best in their field. I'm currently in a nursing program and in clinical placements, we basically have to use patients as guinea pigs (under close observation, of course). But how would you like to have a nurse screw up an IV or a catheter insertion because they had never had an opportunity to practice on a live patient?
I plan to donate my body to science. Once I'm dead, my body is of no use to anyone except med students, who learn from cadavers where organs are, what they look like, how to find them and visualize them in case they specialize in surgery. Do you want a surgeon who is untrained on actual human bodies?
