Info on donating one's body to science

[Claire]

I have an elderly friend who wants very much to donate her body to science. She is not interested in the Pharma aspect.
As a lifelong, dedicated healthy eater who amazes doctors with the good state of her various "parts", she would be a wonderful case study for a group that works with nutrition and helps to promote healthy living/lifestyles.
There can't be that many elderly people who have maintained an excellent diet without any long term medications.
She and I have no clue where to start with this aside from her Allopathic doctor.
Can anyone give us some leads?
Thank you.

Science Care is one such program that links individual donors with the medical community that needs human tissue to do their important work. The whole body donor program is not for transplant and supports research, education and training. Upon acceptance there is no cost to the family and includes transportation from the location of passing, filing of the death certificate, cremation and the return of cremated remains in 3-5 weeks.

Whole body donation directly impacts the advancement of medicine for you and I. It is a tremendous gift. You can give the gift of HOPE through whole body donation. Learn more at www.ScienceCare.com (https://www.sciencecare.com/) or call 800.417.3747 any time 24 hours a day.
