whole body donation... [View all]

I look like my mother and that has always been a thorn in my side... she died last night, no condolences needed... I have struggled my entire life to rid myself of the effects of her abuse and influence

...what I am pleased about is that a couple of years ago I was able to persuade her to donate her body to Michigan State University for research and last night I was told they will take her

I have signed up to donate my body to UVM and have told my children...


while not all are comfortable with the prospect, it is worthy of consideration...


So, what exactly is whole body donation? Simply put, it is a program that gives you the
opportunity to donate your body to science. A life-affirming alternative to a traditional funeral
or cremation, Science Care’s whole body donor program links donors with medical
researchers and educators that are working to advance medicine for us all.
Upon acceptance there is no cost and includes cremation.
Join the registry today and support life.
