Hello,

Yes. Body donation is good thing to do.

But there is some legal implication to donate body like: it should not endanger your own life and financial gain should not be a reason for that.

Apart from that before every donation HLA matching of donor is needed with recipient by laboratory tests.

Wish you good health,

Regards,
