		<description><![CDATA[This topic has been discussed before in our blog, but deserves repeating because of the significant impact that body donation has on medical research and education. The real question that has many people very curious is: What type of education and research is supported? It is good to discuss first in general why body donors are important.&#160;Donors provide the best teaching and research model &#8211; there is no adequate replication to the human body when it comes to teaching and research. The impact Whole Body Donation has on medical science is huge and the need for donors is very great. <a href="http://medcure.org/spotlight-on-research-and-education-paramedic-education/" rel="nofollow">...read more</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Chicago, IL resides the International Museum of Surgical Science, which is a division of the International College of Surgeons. This fascinating museum was founded to &#8220;enrich people&#8217;s lives&#8221; and features exhibits encompassing the history of Eastern and Western medicine. Through interactive displays, actual surgical artifacts and the knowledge from thousands of medical books and journals, you learn about how surgical science was shaped and truly appreciate how far we have come &#8211; and why we should be thankful for the technology we have today!

		<description><![CDATA[&#34;My father wanted to donate his body to medicine because he felt like he never contributed much to society. But that was not true. As a young man he was productive as a Korean War veteran, commercial flight instructor and father of three. He regretted he did not have much to leave to his grandchildren, but with MedCure, all his savings went to their college and mission work! It made him happy to feel that he gave something to his grandkids. And MedCure made it all so easy on us.&#34;&#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#34;My mother Cyndie was a wonderful&#160;and caring woman. She was one to do all she could for someone else and always wanting to do more.&#160;She was truly a&#160;friend to all&#160;who met her. Cyndie wanted to be donor&#160;after her life was&#160;finished here on&#160;earth and&#160;Cyndie and her family&#160;decided to donate her body&#160;to&#160;science. Thank to this program my&#160;mother continues on.&#34;&#160;]]></description>

He felt that life is a gift from God and he&#160;was thankful for that gift.&#160; He wanted to give back by donating his body, his &#34;earthly shell&#34; to MedCure for the much needed research&#160;and health of future generations.&#160; Roland was a gentle, spiritual man and is now smiling from those beautiful mountain peaks.&#34;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#34;My brother Kenneth was diagnosed with a brain tumor in&#160;May 2010. I was there for him from the beginning to the&#160;end.&#160;Kenneth passed away January 17, 2012,&#160;he was 46 years old.&#160;I miss him deeply and&#160;there are so many things&#160;I wished&#160;I could have done with him and for him, but when the tumor recurred he went down so fast that&#160;I never got&#160;the chance. I do thank God&#160;I&#160;was there for him and he had me completely to take care of him as much as&#160;I could. Love you Kenneth&#8230;see you when&#160;I make it to the other side.
