About this Event

Lecture in the Modern Chapel - Chapel A

What does it mean to donate your body to science? This informative and compassionate program explores the often-misunderstood process of whole-body donation—what it involves, why it matters, and how it supports medical education and scientific advancement. Led by experts in medical ethics, anatomy, and end-of-life planning, this session will walk participants through the practical steps of body donation and address common questions about eligibility, religious considerations, and how the choice aligns with personal values.

Whether you're considering donation for yourself or a loved one, this conversation will provide clarity and compassion around this meaningful end-of-life choice. A Q&A session will follow, inviting you to engage directly with the panelists.

Free. Please consider a to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer more death education programs like this throughout the year.
