Jul 04, 2022 – The University of B.C. wants your cadaver. You might reflexively think “over my dead body” — but hear them out.
UBC has run a cadaver donation program since 1950, with an average of 80 to 110 people each year offering their body posthumously for teaching and research purposes. Students in medicine, biomedical engineering, dentistry and other disciplines use the bodies and tissues to learn anatomy and surgical techniques, and to test innovations and new devices, among many other uses.
