Anatomical gift

An anatomical gift is the donation of a person's body or body parts—such as organs, tissues, or whole bodies—after death, to help others through medical research, education, or transplantation. These donations are coordinated through authorized organizations like tissue banks or medical schools, with donor consent ensuring respectful and ethical handling. Anatomical gifts can save lives, improve treatments, and advance scientific understanding, making them a valuable act of generosity that benefits society as a whole.
