Thousands of people all over the world are now doing it. Donating your body to science is becoming very popular.

Also, who doesn’t want to be part of something great that will last forever, anyway?
There are a lot of reasons why others choose to donate their bodies to science. Here are some of the many advantages of whole body donation that will make you want to be a donor too.
Advantages of Whole Body Donation
Molding The Future of Medicine
When you donate your body to science, you’re not only helping scientists and doctors but the patients as well.
Once you die, scientists will use your body to study diseases and better understand how it works.
Nowadays, the common diseases that scientists are trying to cure are cancer, HIV infection, Alzheimer’s, and many more. Imagine how your body can save thousands of lives.
Moreover, you can help doctors and medical students to further their surgical skills.
A deceased body, also known as cadaver, is the ideal model to perform surgical training. This is because cadavers are the most realistic representation of the human anatomy.
It’s like you’re being a blessing for the future doctors. If we have well-trained doctors, we can be certain that they can do their job in saving thousands of lives.
Through your body, you can help future generations have great medical doctors.
Having an advanced medical science and well-trained doctors, lots of patients can be saved and can live a long life.

Your Family Can Save Lots of Money
Let’s face it, we all know that funerals aren’t cheap, so are cremations.
When you donate your body to science, your funeral or cremation won’t be a problem anymore. Whole-body Donation programs usually cover the expenses for it.
Once you die, your family doesn’t need to spend anything at all. Although it depends on the donation program, most donation programs like DonorCure covers all the expenses.
You don’t need to worry about paying any cent, they take care of all the expenses related to the donation process. Even a death certificate will be provided as well.
If you wish your remains to be scattered at sea, or be returned to your family for interment, it will be honored as well and will cost them nothing.
Limit Animal Testing
We all know that animals are often used to tests medicines and other medical experiments. Hence the term “lab rats” or “lab guinea pigs”.
When you donate your body to science, you can help the medical researchers and doctors do their jobs without causing animals to suffer. In this way, you can help in reducing the number of animals used as an experiment.
Not only you can save the animal’s lives, but you can also help scientists get more accurate information about the human body and its diseases.
Isn’t it fantastic that even if you die, your remains can still touch and help millions of lives? If you want to leave a lasting legacy, you better start now and sign up to donate your body to science. Download our whole body donation forms or contact us if you need more information.
