How to donate your body to science
A clear, ethical path to planning whole‑body donation—built on transparency and choice.
Why Anuma
We help you express interest and match with accredited medical schools and research programs—no brokers, no resale, no commitment. Demand for donors regularly exceeds supply; your gift supports education, research, and surgical training.
Step‑by‑step
- Check general eligibility (age, location, basic health context).
- Record your preferences (education, research, surgical training).
- Add simple documents (photo ID; POA/advance directive if for a loved one).
- Submit your non‑binding declaration of interest through Anuma.
- We contact accredited programs and share only what is necessary.
- Review options and decide if and how you want to proceed; formal consent is completed with the program.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legally binding?
No. Using Anuma records your preferences and authorizes us to inquire with accredited programs. Formal consent is handled by institutions and can be updated later.
Is this the same as organ donation?
No. Whole‑body donation supports medical education, research, and surgical training. Organ donation supports transplant. You can consider both; programs may differ.
Can I choose a specific institution?
Yes. List preferences and we will prioritize those accredited programs when we inquire.
Do you work with body brokers?
No. Anuma works only with accredited medical and research programs and does not sell or resell remains.
