These forms create a paper trail so everyone knows:\n- The person actually consented (or didn't object, in the case of unclaimed bodies from institutions)\n- The body was handled respectfully\n- The remains were properly returned for burial or cremation according to the person's religious wishes\n\nThe regulation has been updated over the decades (notably in 1992, 2003, and 2017) to modernise language and remove outdated fees, but the core purpose remains: ensuring proper documentation for body donation to medical schools."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/anatomy-forms-and-fees-regulations-1933","history":"/api/acts/anatomy-forms-and-fees-regulations-1933/history","analysis":"/api/acts/anatomy-forms-and-fees-regulations-1933/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/anatomy-forms-and-fees-regulations-1933/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/anatomy-forms-and-fees-regulations-1933/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/anatomy-forms-and-fees-regulations-1933/documents"}}
