Funeral Pre-Planner Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Can I donate my whole body?

Only if approved by the family No Only to medical school Yes

Correct Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The main idea here is donor autonomy—you can commit to donating your whole body to science after death through a formal body-donation program. When you sign a donor form or register with a medical school or body program, that consent typically governs the disposition of your body, so the family’s approval at the time of death is not usually required to proceed. The body is then used for medical education and research, with arrangements for final disposition handled by the program and the funeral provider as needed. The other options don’t fit because a valid donor authorization generally suffices to donate, it’s not barred as a matter of principle, and donations aren’t limited only to medical schools (other institutions may participate).
