What is the process of donating human remains?

Body donation volunteers need to obtain the consent of their immediate family members and provide relevant certificates, and then bring three 2-inch frontal half-body photographs as well as their household registers and resident ID cards and other relevant materials to the resident Red Cross in their county (city or district) to apply for registration.

After the registration is completed, the donor card will be issued to the donor by the registration organization. After the death of the donor, the donor executor (the donor's next of kin or the person designated during his life) notifies the receiving unit to accept the remains. Upon realization of the donation, the receiving unit shall notify the Red Cross, which shall issue a certificate of honor to the donor's family.

Adults aged 18 years or older can apply for body donation in accordance with the relevant procedures.

Conditional restrictions on body donation:

1. A donor executor needs to be appointed during life to finalize the donation.

2. It is not appropriate to donate the remains of those who died of virulent infectious diseases (such as SARS pneumonia, cholera, typhoid fever, etc.), as well as those that are highly damaged and corrupted.

Methods of handling the remains in the receiving unit:

1. Immediately after the remains are delivered to the receiving unit, embalming is done and a letter of thanks is sent to the family.

2. Before teaching and dissecting the remains, teachers and students hold a ceremony to respect the remains to express students' respect for the donor and to cultivate the medical ethics of treating the sick as one's own.

3, donated remains can only be used for medical careers, never for commercial activities, much less trade in donated remains, organs or tissues.
