Whole body donation
Voluntary Body Donation is a programme wherein the general population
can will their bodies to serve the purpose of medical education and
scientific studies. The public is providing the most important resource
 needed for innovation in medical practice. Primarily, the body donation
 under this programme helps the medical student to learn the relations of
human anatomical structures and development of psychomotor skills by dissection.Though, with improvement in technology many assisted models have developed in the form of mannequins and simulations, none of these can be a replacement to a realistic cadaver. Each cadaver is like a new source of knowledge as many variations can be identified which could help the clinicians.
In addition to this, these donations help the surgeons to experiment innovative surgical skills and procedures in form of cadaver labs, workshops, thus giving them an opportunity to explore in a realistic manner. Another innovation evolved are the cadaver banks like brain banks, skin and vessel bank which are collections of these samples that later can be used for conducting molecular research and cadaver grafting.

With all these uses culminating into the service of humanity, body donations are precious gifts to the humankind. Needless to say that the concept campaigned by Live Well Leave Well society could contribute immensely for the cause. With the rising number of medical colleges and scarcity of cadavers Voluntary Body Donation is definitely a saviour and a ray of hope for the betterment of medical science
