I would like to donate my brain. Maybe it could be some help for others .

My body goes back into the ground as God would have wanted it or cremated

I think the answer may vary. I have always planned on being an organ donor but I don't know if I have any parts that would be appropriate for donation. Years ago, I received paperwork for cadaver donation. If I donated my organs, I would not be able to donate my body for research. One thing I have learned is that both organ donation or cadaver donation are very important and the guidelines differ among states and research/university hospitals. My vascular surgeon's office is to send me information about cadaver donation. Would you be interested in me sharing? This information will be from PA.

I have donated my body to UCSF willed body program.. Depending on what's being studied, at any given time, they take those parts. It could take a decade or more. Then what ever little is left, will be mass cremated. Once they pick your body no one in the family will ever know . But there is no cost . Sheryl

Sometimes when people donate their body to science this is a thing that just happened not too long ago where bodies were at a college and the manager and a couple of the other people was organ harvesting and saling the organs. That's a FAT NO FOR ME
