There is a big and shocking news in my Univ. This is them message from VC: IMPORTANT message from The Vice-Chancellor's Office Many of you must be as shocked as I was, having followed the news over the weekend on the discovery of human parts in the Tseung Kwan O landfill site. And I am deeply concerned as there is now reason to believe that these discovered human parts were originally in the possession of our Faculty of Medicine. The Dean of Medicine had immediately briefed me on the situation. I have been given to understand that this incident was caused by some negligence in stock taking at the time when the Department of Anatomy moved from Li Shu Fan Building to the new building. The body parts were used for student teaching. Since they have been properly treated, they should not pose any health hazard. We agreed that whilst the negligence may not pose legal liabilities, the University should be very concerned about the ethical issues involved and the apparent lack of respect to those who donated their body for this purpose. The Faculty of Medicine called a press conference yesterday to explain this extremely regrettable incident. I have today appointed a panel to undertake investigation into the case, so as to provide the University community and the public at large an accountable picture of what had happened, and to make recommendations to prevent any similar incident from happening again. A report is expected within three months. The panel with both external and internal members comprises: Professor xxxxx, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Chairman) Dr xxxxx, Deputy Medical Superintendent of xxxxx Hospital Professor xxxxx, Associate Dean, Faculty of medicine Mr BLOG
