Body Donation Doubts

Feb 10, 2010
The recent death of a young girl in western China made the news for a somewhat unusual reason. Before she died of congenital heart disease 20 year old Wu Yahong signed a contract under which she donated her body to Lanzhou University for medical research.

Wu's action generated a lot of reaction both online and in the press – and in fact many people sent money to her poverty stricken family. But it also raised the issue of body donation for research or organ use – a topic not often discussed in China where, for cultural reasons, body donation is rare.
