If I consent to transplant research (option 1 on the organ donor registration form), what does that mean?
Consenting to transplant research allows blood and tissue samples to be taken at the time of organ recovery, to be used for transplant specific research. Transplant research should not be confused with donating your body to science, for anatomy or medical studies. In order to donate your body to anatomy or medical studies you must make separate arrangements through the Anatomy Department at the University of British Columbia at 604-822-2578.
