Go to Pilate's classes.  My physio teaches them. They teach you how to hold your body correctly, using the proper muscles to support you skeleton.  This knowledge is essential to back health and exercising correctly.

Different states have different laws on this issue.  Your remains will be cremated after they are used as teaching tools for up and coming doctors.  It's fascinating!  The people I have known who did donate themselves were very sick; many surgeries and disease processes that will educate others.  It doesn't cost anything where we live and they come to get the body once that person has passed on.  They are very respectful.  Most folks have a memorial ceremony because they really don't have a time schedule on the use of the cadavar.  You can call the state you're in to find out more; or even call a hospice facility about body donation and they give you more detailed information.  Godloveya.

Hmm Many great websites on biology have you looked any up? Start there does your text book have any resources for online help? Try that!! Cell = Tissue = Organ?

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.

As noted, it's likely that you are not a suitable donor, if your friend is not a relative.\n\nHow is your friend's life in danger?  Is your friend receiving hemodialysis?  Generally that is a life-saving option.  For many patients, peritoneal dialysis is another option.\n\nI would advise everyone to sign up to donate organs after their death, but for living patients, caution is appropriate.\n\nIt might be rare, but I have seen kidney donors pay a price in terms of their health.  \n\nIt might be unique to my experiences, but I would be extra cautious regarding laparascopic surgery.

I think you are able to donate certain tissues or organs. You should check with your doctor. In response to the poster below me, that is not true at all. I have done numerous studies about organ donation and donors are treated just the same as nondonors. Please consider becoming an organ donor if you can. There are so many people who need organs, and people die everyday because they don't get one.

I opted to have legal paperwork drawn up in order to have my\nbody donated for complete organ/tissue harvesting. In accordance to the Catholic Church, as long as the remains \nare handled with respect, it is permissable to do such, even\nto be disposed in a biohazard bag and incinerated at the end. (not to be observed in any form of religious service)\nWhy be buried in a forest? \nIn thinking what would be the most generous thing that I could do at the end of my life...total body donation was the\nonly logical choice as opposed to just selecting certain organs only to be removed. My soul will be long gone-It makes me happy to think that this body of mine will be put\nto such a sacred use for so many people.

This is not possible for countless reasons.  First of all, when you say elements, the body is comprised primarily of cells, and all cells are subject to immune system monitoring, just like any invasive substance.  Now, all of the cells body express products that tell the body "this is your body, do not kill me".  Any part that does not express these products will be destroyed.  This is what makes transplants difficult.  So your idea is something that can never come to fruition.

giving all ur organs to science is better.

I think you are asking "WHo can help fund your learning centers for yoga etc.?" Contact health and spirituality organizations (non-profit) for donations.  Also, contact temples/churches that practice your spiritual beliefs and ask for donations.

$100,000 minimum---How much do they charge for a heart or lung operation these days---Actually with the ever rising cost of funerals and end of life hospital and nursing care it would be kind of nice to be able to have your body parts sold to pay for the expenses. As it is you can donate your parts and people all along the way seem to be able charge for them.  After all the doctors charge a fortune to install used body parts. But everybody would claim it was unethcial. I here in some countries they have a black market for body parts. http://www.american.edu/TED/body.htm

An organ transporter? Or an organ donor? To donate organs, you can check the box on your drivers-liscense application, but make sure you discuss your wishes with your family because even if it says "organ donor" on your drivers liscense your family still has the last say. If you want to transport organs, become a surgeon.

Your body parts are invaluable to you, and to those lucky recipients who would recieve one after your death.  As you are aware, it is illegal to sell organs and illegal to purchase them.  Anyone who would pay you is already breaking the law, and at that point you become more of a liability to them to keep alive after the organ is harvested.  They also tend not to be really careful doing the surgery, inept is the word that comes to mind most often, and you of course would be the loser.  Which still makes your organs more valuable to you inside you than sold to the highest bidder.  Aside from being illegal, it's immoral practice no decent doctor would take part in.  Even if somebody did know more information, you can bet they certainly wouldn't discuss it on an answer forum such as this.  Conducting illegal business via the web is a bit risky.

Yes, you can. My mother smoked most of her life and died of heart disease. They could use her skin and eyes and some bone, and I donated them. She was older, so most of the other organs weren't good for donation.
