Donate to Medical Discoveries

Donating your body "to science" (for medical discoveries) is an affirmative alternative when donation of organs for transplant is not possible.

Individuals who donate their bodies to science leave an extraordinary legacy. This special type of donation contributes to advances in medical education and plays a significant role in research leading to new life-saving medical discoveries.

You can decide to donate your body to science. There is no cost to the donor or donor families.

An affirmative alternative when organ donation for transplant is not possible.

Donating your body to science offers a positive alternative for families who want to donate organs and tissues when a loved one has died, but are told that the medical condition of the deceased prevents donation for transplant.
