No reports of any kind are furnished to the donor's family. Students are aware that the body from which they learn is a generous donation. No disrespect is permitted. All use of the body is closely supervised, and the identity of the body is known only to a few faculty and staff members. Bodies are NOT displayed to the public.
Most religions approve of body donation.
If you are uncertain of your religion's position on the use of the dead body, consult your Minister, Pastor, Rabbi or Priest. Emory normally requests consent from the next of kin before accepting a body. It is wise to consult your family so they will be emotionally prepared to carry out your wishes. They are the ones who must understand why you fell that the donation of your body is a gift to all future generations. Emory will decline a body when close family members oppose the donation.
