Why Body Donation?
Long ago, body donation was considered to be a bizarre and misunderstood means of disposition, but it has grown in popularity to become not only socially acceptable-but preferred by progressives, celebrities, and high-profile humanitarians.
Everyone has the potential to contribute to medial breakthroughs; unfortunately, just a few actually do. That’s why body donation is a needed and welcomed gift to society-one that is precious in its nature, and commands respect.
