whole body & organ donation

To answer the question about whether being an organ donor precludes you from being a whole body donor, no, it does not. In fact, while there are many conditions that would prevent your organs from being useful for donation to a live recipient (e.g., cancer or advanced age), these conditions would not preclude your body from being suitable for use as a donor to our program. So the best way to ensure that your body is used after death is to sign up for both. Organ donation to a live patient gets first priority because it saves someone's life, but if that is not possible then your body can be used in our program, or one like ours. Here is the link for more information about our program: http://www.bu.edu/dbin/anatneuro/anatomical_gifts.php Mr. Bouchie is always happy to answer questions - just call!
