Will they pay you now if you sign a legal document stating you will donate your body when you die?

You can state it in your will that you want to donate your body to science after you die. They do not pay you for your body parts or blood. The key word is DONATE. Make sure your next of kin know that this is what you wish, too.

It's probably illegal to sell your own body parts. But don't worry ... everybody else will make money off of the business of selling your body parts, including the doctors and hospitals.
As far as how to donate ... contact a medical school in your area. They will tell you how you can become a cadaver for their students to study.
You should check with family members about this, because this is something that distresses some survivors and causes family stresses.

I think you could go to a university to find out. You should be worry about how you can pro-long your life instead on what you're going to do with your body after you die. I think that they could pay you but what garranty do they have that when you die the death is such a mess that it destroys your body or what if you do drugs that I think they would hold back on. APPRICIATE YOUR LIFE!!!

Just get an attorney to draw up some papers or call the university, tyey'll help you w/ the paperwork then all you need is to sign in front of a notary public.

It's called "donating" your body to science because you're DONATING it. And besides, you can't take it with you lol

no.. i do not think any hospital will give u money shd u choose to donate yr body for research. it is aganist medical ethics code and regulations for hospitals to pay u to 'donate' yr body.
u can donate yr body, but do not expect any payouts coz it is illegal.

I don't think you can go anywhere to donate your body after you die, because you would be dead!!!

hmmm... good question
i know you can choose to be an anatomical donor by going thru the DMV, they put a sticker on your license, and you dont get paid for it.
But i dont know if that means they just take your organs, or your whole body.
