By donating your body to science, you provide a unique gift to medical researchers, educators, doctors, scientists, emergency services personnel, and university medical students across the globe. Thanks to your generosity, they will be able to research new life-saving medical and surgical procedures and techniques.
Most everyone will meet criteria for body donation to science, including those with cancer, heart disease, arthritis, or diabetes. Joining the registry is not required, but it is recommended because it is the first step in sharing your wishes with your loved ones.
Once accepted into the Science Care program, there is no cost for the donation process, cremation, or the return of final remains.
If you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, or if you are under hospice or palliative care, you may qualify for our Science Care Hope Program.
