==Organ donation and body donation==
Some people [[Body donation|donate their bodies]] to a [[medical school]] for use in research or education. Medical students frequently study anatomy from donated cadavers; they are also useful in forensic research.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hta.gov.uk/about_hta/faqs/body_donation_faqs.cfm|publisher=UK [[Human Tissue Authority]]|title=Body Donation FAQs|access-date=2016-06-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414164827/http://www.hta.gov.uk/about_hta/faqs/body_donation_faqs.cfm|archive-date=2009-04-14|url-status=dead}}</ref> Some medical conditions, such as amputations or various surgeries can make the cadaver unsuitable for these purposes; in other cases the bodies of people who had certain medical conditions are useful for research into those conditions. Many medical schools rely on the donation of cadavers for the teaching of anatomy.<ref>{{cite book |last=Roach |first=Mary |title=Stiff: The Curious Lives Of Human Cadavers |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0141007458 |id= {{ASIN|0141007451|country=uk}} |year=2004 }}</ref> It is also possible to arrange for [[Organ donation|donate organs]] and [[Tissue donation|tissue]] after death for treating the sick, or even whole cadavers for forensic research at [[body farm]]s.
