As a medical student, i would like to say Thank You to all the donor on behalf of all the medical student as well as medical officers.. Your contribution played a huge role in science and the future of medical knowledge.. Many amazing doctor will be born, many undiscovered ways of saving a person will be discovered.. Thank you once again!
@@codingiscreativity contact nearest university. Did 1986, switched later to science care. Frankly, I don't care where my left arm lands. If folks can learn, that is good. I'll be "Home". It was my choiceong ago. Could I be a student learning? Oh heck no. God bless them.
@Donny Mpls I am a organ donor. And the way that works is if you are a organ donor and decide to donate your body to science. The first thing that takes priority is the organs. So even if you donate your body to science the first thing they have to do is donate your organs. Since saving another persona life takes priority, over the learning of science. But they can still give your body to science and learn from it. So there you have it, some reassurance.
My first experience with a cadaver really surprised me. I immediately thought of him as a patient and respected his choice to donate his body. I also found myself holding the cadaver's hand! It's a sign of respect and appreciation! I instinctively wanted to take good care of him and treat him well. I am currently a nursing student and will become an RN. And, I am already thinking about my "retirement" career and plan to take additional courses so that I can teach anatomy. I am very grateful to each person who decided to donate their body to a medical school. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING DOING THE SAME!
Susan, I’m a trans woman, hence my future donation to medical science. Hopefully some day you medics will discover why a female happens to be born with a male body, or vice versa for a male born with a female body. Both situations are intolerable until we transition surgically Only then do we live contented lives 💁♀️
Maaaannn... perspective! I'm currently an organ donor. My question is... who would be more priority if I went with this process, the person needing the organ or the medical school? This would be a better use of my remains than just planting a tree! I'm going to do more research hopefully before its too late. 🤗🙄😏
SH3RBEAR-2-BULL I do advice medical school rather than organ donation. The apnea test they do for determine if you are dead , is not accurate and especially in Uk, if they see you are an organ donor, they don't give you the best treatment so you die and they can use your organ. If you give your organ, you can save few people, but if you give it to a medical school, you would help training more people,meaning that you indirectly save more people. However,as pointed in the video, you should check your local medical school and check if they are scamming you
Organ donor that is on your license is eye organ and tissue. Where as whole body donation helps further medical research, teaching medical and mortuary students.
I've never thought about this but this seems like a great idea! Either this or donating your organs seems like the best way to use your dead body because then it can actually help the living, rather than cremating or burring everything. Thanks for the video!
I'm donating if I die even thought I'm 11 because my body could be used for advancement in neurological science and other stuff while if my body is under ground then it's just decomposes and is just wasted
John50 Beach Actually, new organs are being discovered all the time, for example the Mesentery, which was discovered in January 2017. But the point of donating your body is not simply for research, in medical schools, bodies are used to train doctors. They can perform a test operation on a cadaver before performing the operation on a live human.
One question I do have is that, are they are allowed to tell who's body or human remains is that? Like one of those skeletons that hang from classrooms and someone says "who's skeleton is that?". And they "Oh thats Mark's. He we missed working with him. So we put his skeleton in class so he's always with us." You know what I'm sayin'?
I went on a tour of the Ohio State medical school once, and they brought us into the anatomy lab. Very interesting, but after seeing the cut-up bodies laid out on tables, I decided there's no way I wanted my body to end up like that. I am an organ donor, though.
I was learning about how my dead body can be used to plant trees, or donating organs (currently enrolled in). But this just adds another possibility. Some many choices 😭
I'm donating; how-ever mostly because I had no family and this will help not only my siblings kids so they won't have to deal with it but also so someone will learn. I may actually contribute to society!
In my country funeral not that expansive because when someone die, all people in our neighborhood will help with everything. Even we have non profit organization in every neighborhood for funeral, and you only need to pay $1 a month. But when someone die, you should help too.
Just to people to know, Embalming is not mandatory and it’s very bad for the environment. If you want to learn more awesome things about death industry check the channel Ask a Mortician. It’s really good. And I want my body to go straight to science too. It seems the most compassionate thing to do, helping in some way so science can advance. Or someone can learn from my body.
l want to donate my body so my wife can use the life insurance money for something that benefits her instead of unnecessary funeral/cremation expenses.
Paul Kalanithi wrote in his book 'Anatomy lab, in the end, becomes less a violation of the sacred and more something that interferes with happy hour, and that realization discomfits.'
If I had an opportunity to give my body to science, I would want them to put alot of glowing liquid inside of my body and send my off to space so people can see me shining like a star.
1:09 "Because it's expensive to have a funeral" Thank you! Finally! Someone is actually being honest! I would say that too, because, after all, i'm kind of a cheapskate and... I'M INDIAN! Also, $7K! Do you know how much you could do with that?! I'm saving money! Except, it's probably gonna be my family's money that i'm saving
Okay, so when people die, the tradition is to have a funeral and you go up to the casket, and say your last goodbyes. But there’s no casket at this man’s funeral. So what happens at the funeral?
Most of the comments saying I want to donate my body. I would say they have by far now more than enough bodies to cut in pieces. Remember, some circumstances, such as major recent surgery, traumatic accident, autopsy, ascites, edema, obesity, contagious disease, jaundice, or organ donation other than skin and eyes, may render the body tissues useless for study.
Im not gonna be there so I could care less what happens to My rotting corpse! I would like to donate it but We had problems with an Uncle. No one wanted him........
Your mom is too cute...😃 i will also donate my body, who cares no impulse no fuckin pain😆... but it's sad that body which dressed so very well is now juz a weird shit after death😞.... damn truth
To be honest when it’s my time to go. I’ll definitely be donating my body to science. Like he said the cost is $0 and I still get a burial all covered by the school. ANDDD not only that but if they discover something new using my body then that’ll be cool. I’ll still be getting a funeral. So I mean😚
I use to work in a medical school building where they flush your body and fill your veins with a fluorescent fluid, shave your head and eyebrows and the cadavers are used for future medical students, wanting to be doctors, surgeons, disease studies etc.
I wonder how many people are helped along with death when they donate their body over to science before death or when they donate their organs. It's big money.
I'll be an organ donor, because it will help up to 9 lives after I die. Putting others* before you is golden in Jesus' eyes, and I live because and for him. Plus, I will be given a resurrected body, so the one I have now, won't matter. God bless, even if you don't believe. Have a wonderful day if you read this.
I think donating your body is fair. It’s unfair if they take you away and work on your body when you were still alive. I think scientist would learn a lot of they even study more about bodies. Your body has already deceased. You won’t feel, hear, see, etc what they do. That’s my opinion.
I don’t want to donate to science because I don’t want strangers to cut open my body I just want to lay in coffin and go to heaven instead of going to man made science room and get cut open
We (medical students) don’t actually do it. Other people do. Once they’re cremated, the ashes are either sent back to the families directly or interred as part of a memorial service. ...at least that’s how they do it where I am.
I'm sorry about your mama. She's lovely. I pray she heals and gets the small joys back. Thanks for the video. I will look into OHSU Medical school to see if they take body donations.
Depending on where you live you can sign up for both. Depending on the circumstances of your death and your health/age at the time of your death, your organs may not be in donate-able condition. Organ donation will be first priority but if it isn't fitting then your body will be transferred as a whole body donation.
I am gonna donate my body when I die but I will donate my organs if somebody needs it badly, like what will I use my body for when I am dead my body will decay in the ground after a couple of years and I will be a skeleton just taking up space in the ground
