The undergraduate education working group has proposed to emasculate and there by going to administer euthanasia to forensic medicine. This proposal is done without holding any discussions at the grass root level. They projected that thereis anadditioal need of 3500 Forensic Specialist .The genocide of this speciality is the treatment they suggested. How can Forensic medicine be effectively taught along with Gynaecology ,surgery of Pharmacology. Are legal experts qalified to teach medical ethics and medicolegal issues .Without learning the subject properly how can the internees learn documentation of and to give evidence inmedico legal cases.
There are other subspecialilties which can be dissolved either in Medicine or Surgery .Sothat M.B.B.S.curriculam can be converted into a two or three year course.
To rectify the deficiency of Forensic specialists the working group could have proposed to revamp the subject by updating UG curriculum and increasing theP.G. seats.Even autopsies can be conducted in private medical colleges.
The service rendered by Forensic expert to the judiciary in the administration of justice can"t be compared with other medical or surgical specialities we forensicexperts & like minded medical experts should work together to thawrt this move..
