Body Donation to Science and Medical Research
Give Hope to Future Generations…
Thank you for visiting Science Care, the world’s largest accredited whole body donation program. We work with some of the world’s most prestigious and well-respected medical schools, research hospitals and medical device companies to help support the training of physicians and surgeons and to assist with the development of new medical products, procedures and treatments. When you decide to donate your body to science, you are helping to advance medicine for everyone.
Those who have given the gift of body donation through Science Care have contributed to the advancement of treatments for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, ALS, arthritis and degenerative joint disease, spinal injuries, hip replacement surgery, infectious diseases, heart disease and much more. Without the assistance of human body donation after death, we would not have the medical advancements that we see today.

HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
As a supporter of whole body donation, you know just how important body donors are to the medical community. Unfortunately, body donation doesn’t get the same outpouring of support as organ donation, and thus very few people even know it’s an option for final arrangements. This is why we’re asking for your help in spreading the word about this very important end of life option.
To help you out, we’ve developed a special “Advocate Program” specifically for those of you who are actively engaged in your community. Check it out RIGHT HERE.
Join the registry today and support life through the gift of whole body donation for medical research, education and training.
