Yes however, I'm torn between either donating my organs or donating my body to science.
My thinking is I could maybe help save a couple of lives if my organs are in a decent enough state, although with my life style they probably wont be, or maybe my body could be used as a cadaver to train new doctors possibly saving a lot more lives.
Even if its not used for training doctors my thinking is that even a small amount learnt from the use of my body has got to help somewhere.
I would highly recommend donating to a specific organization rather than as a "uniform anatomical gift". Unless you're fine with being sold by a body broker and used for explosives/crash testing, or forensic entomological decomposition research: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bodies-donated-to-science-largely-unregulated-cbs-reports/
