Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by blacksam01(op): 4:58pm On Nov 03, 2025
Just for the advancement of science...

Can you volunteer your dead body through your will to a medical research institute for medical research..?

Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by eepeepook: 5:40pm On Nov 03, 2025
Only if I will be guaranteed that it will be used for medical research only. I read a story that a man did so for his grandmother’s corpse. The hospital sold it to the military which used it to test the effects of nuclear bombs on human bodies.

The body will be handed over after use to the family to be buried..

I doubt. It is the hospital’s to do whatever with. If it was to be buried, that would’ve been the first option.

Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by Cybertroll: 6:03pm On Nov 04, 2025
Nope! Not interested in having my body disrespected. Not a organ/body donor.

The body is no longer yours after your death because you have no control.
It does not matter what is done with it.

Burial is a sentimental feeling of those who survive you.

It is not a bad idea to donate your lifeless body for medical research.
Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by SmartPolician:
What exactly will I do with my body when I am already dead? If the research will benefit humanity, of course.

My priority is for my soul to make heaven. Whether I care about my body or not, it belongs to termites.

But then, it's better they use the bodies of gun men that security operatives sent to their maker during a gun duel.

Yessssssssssssssssssss
But preserve my brain, it's precious to me even in the afterlife. We're just 15 across Nigeria.
Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by Akwamkpuruamu: 6:12pm On Nov 04, 2025
That's my will!

I don't want to be buried

I wanted to be a medical doctor but e no work. My only contribution to medical field is donating my cadaver for medical studies. I don't need a funeral
Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by ednut1(m): 6:14pm On Nov 04, 2025
The current health care we enjoy today was as a result of human bodies used for research. For women the father of gynaecology used his female black slaves for experiment 😩

It would be up to my children to decide. I would have left that container called body by then.

Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by placeofallure(f): 6:22pm On Nov 04, 2025
Why not? If I release a prior statement that my body be used as a cadaver, that means I'm still very useful; even in death
Re: Can You Will And Volunteer Your Dead Body For Medical Research? by adamkkk: 6:23pm On Nov 04, 2025

Nothing bad there, is for the good of humanity. After all, one will not know that they are dead.

Sacrifice the body for advancement in medical research or become a free food for termites. It is a lose-lose situation.
