Process of donation donation for science

The bodies of donors will be preserved for use in doctor training or valuable medical research.

Science donations have been around for 200 years and dead bodies are often used in anatomical studies or to train doctors in medical schools, according to News.com.au.

"When the donor dies, their body will be evaluated whether it can be used for scientific purposes. The bodies of obese, malnourished, jaundice, dementia, stomach cancer Thick, bowel cancer and recently undergoing chemotherapy are often not used for this purpose, "said Riccardo Natoli, a doctor at ANU Medical University, Australia.

Riccardo said potential donors must have good bodies and minds. They must be at least 18 years old. The body was transferred to a morgue technician within 24-48 hours after death. First, the technician takes a large sample of blood from the left ventricle to check the pathology of the dead. The body was then bathed clean, shaved hair and hair before being embalmed.

"The chemical reactions of mummification usually take about 6-9 months to complete. Dissection takes about 1-3 months. The body after embalming can survive for at least 6 years" , Hannah Lewis, a body care specialist who died at ANU Medical School, said.

Today, medical students have access to many new teaching methods by modeling and 3D simulation, but the anatomical approach on real human remains remains important, helping them develop ingenuity. surgery.

"When our studies are completed, the body is cremated. This is a requirement under the Australian Implant and Anatomy Act of 1978. If the body is buried in the soil, the substance is embalmed. can penetrate into the soil and pollute the environment , " Riccardo said.
