Why I'm Donating My Body To Science

For more information on whole-body donation, call your local medical school or use this full list of programs put together by the Anatomical Board of the State of Florida.

A few years ago my mother told me she was donating her body to science. I investigated why this is a good alternative to a traditional funeral. In New York, the Associated Medical Schools of New York help license whole body donation programs amongst medical colleges in the state. These reputable schools serve as a protection against the darker side of body brokers. When I pass on, my body will be going to science.

As a medical student, i would like to say Thank You to all the donor on behalf of all the medical student as well as medical officers.. Your contribution played a huge role in science and the future of medical knowledge.. Many amazing doctor will be born, many undiscovered ways of saving a person will be discovered.. Thank you once again!

I'm an official donor as well. Who cares what happens to my body after I die. I'm fucking dead.

They can have my body, but not my browser history

My first experience with a cadaver really surprised me. I immediately thought of him as a patient and respected his choice to donate his body. I also found myself holding the cadaver's hand! It's a sign of respect and appreciation! I instinctively wanted to take good care of him and treat him well.

I am currently a nursing student and will become an RN. And, I am already thinking about my "retirement" career and plan to take additional courses so that I can teach anatomy. I am very grateful to each person who decided to donate their body to a medical school. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING DOING THE SAME!

Donating my body is probably the only way I'll get to Harvard medical school

I find these videos so interesting. I really love these types of videos

Why can't we get an interview from someone who's already donated?

When I die ... I want planet earth to have my body

If I die, I want my body to be used in Mortal Kombat.

Wait if I donated my organs ... Does that include my whole body?
Or just my lungs or heart or brain.

I'm donating if I die even thought I'm 11 because my body could be used for advancement in neurological science and other stuff while if my body is under ground then it's just decomposes and is just wasted

It’s not just medical students. Physical therapy, physician assistant and nurse anesthetist programs also utilize cadaver dissection!

My body is going to science, why the fuck would I need it if I'm not in it

There was a great podcast about this a couple of years ago that a helped me make my decision. I think it was 'Resurrection Men' on the BBC .

Maaaannn... perspective! I'm currently an organ donor. My question is... who would be more priority if I went with this process, the person needing the organ or the medical school? This would be a better use of my remains than just planting a tree! I'm going to do more research hopefully before its too late. 🤗🙄😏

[algireaux]

One question I do have is that, are they are allowed to tell who's body or human remains is that? Like one of those skeletons that hang from classrooms and someone says "who's skeleton is that?". And they "Oh thats Mark's. He we missed working with him. So we put his skeleton in class so he's always with us." You know what I'm sayin'?

I've never thought about this but this seems like a great idea! Either this or donating your organs seems like the best way to use your dead body because then it can actually help the living, rather than cremating or burring everything. Thanks for the video!

I went on a tour of the Ohio State medical school once, and they brought us into the anatomy lab. Very interesting, but after seeing the cut-up bodies laid out on tables, I decided there's no way I wanted my body to end up like that. I am an organ donor, though.

[Kdschaak]

You are donating your body so your family doesn't gave to pay for your cremation? How noble.

[brittybrad]

What a great video. I've always wanted to donate my body and this video was very helpful
