THE ISAACS REPORT

On May 12 2003 the Department of Health published The Isaacs Report, by Dr Jeremy Metters, currently HM Inspector of Anatomy. It deals with the investigation into the events following the death of Cyril Mark Isaacs in 1987, when his brain was removed at autopsy for research purposes without the knowledge or consent of his wife. It goes on to investigate the practice in England generally of removing brains for these purposes, and makes recommendations for the future.
