New Rules for Consensual Donation and Respectful Use of Bodies in Research.
This bill establishes strict federal oversight for for-profit entities that acquire and sell human bodies or body parts for research and education (excluding transplantation). The goal is to ensure that all donations are based on knowing consent, that remains are handled respectfully, and that the chain of custody is transparent. Citizens donating their bodies to science will benefit from increased integrity and accountability in the process.
Key points
For-profit organizations selling human bodies or parts for research must register with the government and undergo regular inspections.
Mandatory record-keeping requires documented, knowing consent from the donor and assurance of proper final disposition of the remains.
Strict rules are imposed on labeling, packaging, and data privacy to maintain the integrity and traceability of donated human material.
