[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3954356, member: 42584"] This is the organization I was going with: [URL unfurl="true"]https://unitedtissue.org/whole-body-donation/[/URL] Sounded good until I found out that 'whole body donation' is not quite what I thought it was. I thought your body was sent to a medical or pathology teaching hospital (I was pushing to go to OU 😂) so that future Doc's could learn some diagnostic and surgery skills, but that not quite the way it works. It seems that your body gets cut up into parts; those parts being sold to whomever wants them. The idea that my head might end up at one medical school while an arm or a leg ends up at another just didn't sound 'right' to me - you know, body spread across the country from coast to coast, then whatever doesn't get sold is cremated. I understand that this is a good way to help multiple teaching hospitals at the same time, but it still just didn't seem 'right'. Each person has their own sense of 'right' so do your research and choose as you will, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
