Whole body donation

Whole body donation is when an individual volunteers to donate their entire body after death to medical science. The body is used for research, education, and training of healthcare professionals. Donors usually sign an agreement and communicate their wishes beforehand. After the body is used, it is usually cremated, and remains are returned to the family if desired. This process helps advance medical knowledge, improve treatments, and train future healthcare providers, benefitting society. Whole body donation is a generous contribution that supports scientific progress and education without cost to the donor's family.
