If you’re in a relatively privileged class and this bothers you, one easy step is to file an end of life directive with your doctor (you should be doing this anyway), and say you want to donate your body for medical training/research.
You won’t miss it I promise.
I’m certainly going to do that with my body. No sense in wasting space in a cemetery.
And if my organs are still good enough to use for someone else, take them.
My mom did this. When she told me about it I thought that it was a great idea. I’m planning on doing the same.
I’m grateful that none of our cadavers were unclaimed remains. All of them had info sheets with demographics, profession, and a brief health history. Our school also holds a Donor Memorial ceremony every year, but I don’t know if that’s common or ubiquitous among medical schools.
