Body donation
Body donation is the process of consenting to give one's body after death to medical and scientific institutions for research, education, and training. Donors provide their bodies to help students learn anatomy, develop surgical techniques, and advance medical knowledge. It is a voluntary, respectful act that benefits future healthcare professionals and medical science. Donors or their families typically undergo a registration process, and the body is handled with dignity and care, often leading to tissue or organ use before final cremation or burial. This altruistic contribution plays a vital role in advancing medicine and improving patient care.
