介绍:
Body donation is the donation of the whole body after death for medical research and education. For years, only medical schools accepted whole bodies for donation, but now private programs also accept donors.
Body donation is useful for understanding the human body and for advancing science. Medical schools use whole embalmed bodies to teach anatomy to medical students. These organizations will often cover the cost of cremation or burial once the cadaver has served its medical purpose and is returned to the family for interment. Any person wishing to donate their body may be required, but not always, to make prior arrangements with the local medical school, university, or body donation program before death. Individuals may request a consent form, and will be supplied information about policies and procedures that will take place after the potential donor is deceased.
Each country may have differing regulations surrounding the donation of the body or body parts.
Body donation is the field still rarely touched in China, although many people areaware of its importance. Many patients are waiting for organ donation to savelives, but only a small part of them can really get the donation. A lot of people lost their lives during the endless waiting time. However, theselives could be saved. Such as the scene in the TV series "Xin Shu", parentsof the patient who got the sudden death determined not to agree to donate organs in order to stay a whole corpse. So a little girl waiting to do organ transplants missed the chance to be treated andto be healthy.
I hope more people join the group of body donation and make a little contributionto China&`&s medicine. Of course, I will certainly do so.
