Ans: Organ donation is different from the whole-body donation. Organ donation is done by harvesting a healthy organ or tissues from one person (Donor, after brain death), for transplantation, into another person (recipient), who needs such an organ.
In contrast, in whole-body donation, the entire body is donated after the death of the person. There is a constant need for whole bodies for teaching the healthcare professionals. This priceless gift of whole-body donation can be done without any financial expenditure by the family.
