Dr. Krishna Kumar*, Dr. Megha Chandarana and Dr. Ajit Kumar
ABSTRACT
Body donation is an entire body donation for medical research and education after death. In ancient India, human bodies were dissected by Acharya Sushruta by using Ayurvedic methods for dissection. The first medical student to dissect a human corpse was Andreas Vesalius. The collection of dead bodies for teaching purposes is availed according to Anatomy Act 1948. Any person can donate the body and any state-approved hospital / medical institution can accept the body for medical education and research. Donor, while living can fill out the form of willingness for body donation. Depending on certain criteria, the donated body can also be rejected by institution as if amputation had occurred in the body or the body is involved in any medico-legal case. Some factors such as body ownership love or religious beliefs also prevent donation of the body. Awareness campaigns, paper and electronic media can improve the situation of fewer body donations.
