Comments about ‘Memorial honors bodies donated to science’

I and my wife would like to donate our bodies to the university. I beleive it will help science very much.

The soul is gone, the purpose of it filled.

This is a wonderful gesture and a wonderful tool for science.

I have a great respect for people who donate their bodies. I am one who learned much for somebody's loved one and appreciate the education it provided me with. Thank you to all of you who have given a loved one up for educational/scientific purposes. If it were not for you, we would all be lost.

While this isn't an option all would choose, it's a wonderful service and I appreciate this article.

I also thank those who have decided to contribute to the expansion of knowledge and skills of doctors and medical researchers.

I've arranged for my body to be donated and hope it will be useful to others as it has been to me.

I just hate the idea that normally, the greatest use for my body after I'm done with it would be as nourishment for bacteria and worms.

Surely it can be put to better use than that. At least temporarily.

People don't won't to give women a choice to have an abortion.... So my question is why do we let people have a "choice" on whether or not to donate their body to science after they die??? Think of how many lives would be saved (including innocent babies) if it was a requirement.

Med school anatomy really is one of the most unique and challenging classes in the world. As a med student who recently finished anatomy myself, I can say how appreciative we are of all the people who choose to donate their bodies for our benefit. I hope to use that knowledge to help many many more people in the future. Thank you!
