How to Donate My Body to Science in Oklahoma

Oklahoma residents have the option of donating their bodies to science upon their death. Donated bodies are used in morgues and on college campuses for medical students to practice their technique and learn on. All persons are eligible to donate their bodies to science, though their families will have no rights to their remains after death. Oklahoma is home to two body donation programs, one at the University of Oklahoma and the other at Oklahoma State University.
