Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human body and it is the basis of all medical knowledge of the human body. The gift of whole body donation is an indispensable aid in medical education and research and is greatly appreciated. The need for whole body donations is great and will be further increased by the demand for more doctors, dentists, nurses, and other health care practitioners. Your request for donation protects both the study of medicine and your survivors and for the benefit of humanity.
