Body donation is a selfless donation
Body donation is a selfless act that benefits the future of healthcare and medical advancements. While medical students and professionals use donated bodies to study human anatomy in detail, surgeons and medical practitioners use donated bodies to practice new techniques, refine existing procedures, and develop safer surgical methods.
Scientists and researchers use donated bodies to diagnose diseases, study the effects of medical conditions on different organs, and develop new treatments or medications.
