My mom donated her body to the local university to be used by the medical students. After she was dead of course!

I’m glad this man was also to help with medical research. I can’t imagine being his family and making the decision to admit that there is no hope in his survival.

But I guess they can be comforted that from this research many others may survive.

I just hope the man was really brain dead.

In 2001 my brother was killed in an auto accident in S. California. His organs were donated and we received a thank you letter from the gentleman, whose name was Bill, who received his heart.

A few years ago I contacted the organization that runs the donation process to find out who the recipient was and how he is doing today but they couldn't provide me with that information since it was confidential.

My mom donated her body to the local university to be used by the medical students.

So did my cousin, who passed away this summer. When her daughter called the university to come pick up the body, she was told that they weren't accepting bodies for the duration of the Covid epidemic. As a result, she had to scramble to find a mortuary who would collect the body and arrange for cremation. In the meantime, my cousin's body sat all day in the chair where she had died.
