Well, it depends on how well preserved you are and how much smell they can handle. Aaaaaaannnnnnddddddd.... they don't necessarily keep you "all together" unless you specify that. Ie: while some of you is teaching eye docs stuff, some of you is teaching a hand surgeon, or spine surgeon, or etc... they only need the parts they work on. You help pioneer things before they get into live subjects. It really saves on the amount of times I hear "Ooooops!" in surgery. Yes, I do get involved with the cadaver study/new instrumentation/experiment stuff as a tech since I'm at a university hospital. It's cool and disgusting, all at once.

Mostly, we tend to prefer that people donate organs that can be used here and now, if they can. Then the rest to "science" if they so choose. You positively affect the present and future with your past.



Off to bed. It's going to be a long one tomorrow. The cat gave up and passed out on the computer desk an hour ago. Except for the light snoring, you wouldn't know he was alive. Little sweetie pie.
