Organ Donation
Organ Transplant Donation and Whole Body Donation: A Partnership
Whole body donation for medical research and training can advance the knowledge and skills of physicians and surgeons, and can improve the quality of life for generations of patients to come.
Organ donation for transplant is equally important, and there is a great need for both organ donors and whole body donors. There are more than 101,000 men, women, and children in the U. S. waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.
- Individuals can be both organ donors for transplant as well as Science Care whole body donors.
- Organ donation for transplant takes first priority due to its inherent life-saving nature.
- Your family or next of kin will need to know of your wish to donate both organs for transplant and whole body donation through Science Care.
