Free education was a mistake. DS Senanayake saw this coming.

Is it normal to have so much interest in cutting and examining a dead person ? This is what doctors do. So, to them publishing naked body of dead people is not big problem. In UK in the latest survey , it is said , one doctor in Britain commits suicide every one week.

Morals, Values, Respect, Ethics and Honour......... gone down the drain. If this is TRUE, it is indeed very very sad. I wont be surprised given on how few University Students behave and act

For such a big powerful guy, his thing was pretty midget size. Pity on his wife because she will be surprised at most of the other sizes available.

These medical students have shown their complete lack of moral responsibility towards their patient. This is quite reprehensible. The Dean of the relevant medical faculty should take serious note and take action against these medical students.

There is a mental issue in Sri Lanka especially among some to nudity with people dead or alive . From dead cadres of LTTE in Wanni, to the opponents of Aragalaya in Galle face to Mannamperi in Matara during the JVP terror of the 70's and to this dead man... it continues. A serious issue that needs to be discussed by the psychiatrics. Dead have dignity too and must be respected.

I don't know this man from Adam but this is a breach of moral and ethical laws. These future doctors should have been taught that before anything else.
