Donating your body to science improves life for everyone.
"I believe that we are put on this earth for many reasons. Once our time has ended, we should leave a legacy behind of ourselves by donating our body to science. There's no reason to be buried or cremated when you have the great opportunity to have science use your body for research. If everyone donated, we might have cures for a lot of illness. The world would definitely be a better place." Maria T. California
