Body donation

Body donation, anatomical donation, or body bequest is the donation of a whole body after death for research and education. Donated bodies are mostly used for medical education and research. They are used for gross anatomy, surgical anatomy, and for furthering medical education. For years, only medical schools accepted bodies for donation, but now private programs also accept donors. Depending on the programs need for body donation, some programs accept donors with different specifications.
