White and lime green typewriter text on a black background reads: Calling all do-gooders! How to donate your body to science. What does "science" mean in this context? Can you donate your body to anything else? Any reason science wouldn't accept the generous donation of your corporeal form? Find out. Due Date: A Library Death Salon. Louisville Free Public Library Main Branch. August 21, 2025 at 7pm. All this text is atop the faded image of an old-fashioned library book borrowing card. Below this is a logo: a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon surrounded by black text that reads My Parents Are Dead, What Now?

Green text on a black background reads: DUE DATE - A LIBRARY DEATH SALON. All sessions 7-8 p.m. at the LFPL Main Library in Louisville, facilitated by writer and death doula Becky Robison. In the center is an image of an old-fashioned library borrower's card, featuring columns for date due and borrower's name. But this one is labeled with UPCOMING SESSIONS: 7/24 - What's dying really like? 8/21 - Donating your body to science. 9/25 - Your funeral rights (not rites). 10/23 - Estate planning is spoooooky. An explanation on the side reads: Somewhere between a workshop, a support group, and a weird party, these monthly death salons will help you come face to face with the Grim Reaper—and maybe even befriend him.

Hey Louisville! I'll catch you at @lfpl.bsky.social on August 21 for our next death salon. We're talking about donating our bodies to science. Generous? Yes. Confusing? Also yes. Let's figure it out together.

Unam sees unprecedented surge in body donation pledges THE University of Namibia (Unam) has recorded its highest number of body donation pledges in just four months – a first since its School of Medicine was established. This was confirmed by Unam School of Medicine’s Simon Namesho, who says from February to May 2025, four Namibians pledged to donate their bodies to Unam’s division of anatomy for scientific and educational purposes. He says this number is particularly significant considering that between 2010 and the end of 2024, a span of 14 years, only 11 Namibians registered as body donors. “Following extensive media coverage and public discussions early in 2025, interest surged dramatically. In a span of only four months, between February and May, an additional four Namibians officially pledged their bodies, bringing the total to 15,” Namesho says. He says nearly 30 additional people have contacted the university for more information or to request donor forms. According to Unam, the four new pledges represent more than a quarter of all body donation commitments received since the programme’s inception, marking a turning point in national attitudes. Namesho told The Namibian that historically, the university relied heavily on imported cadavers mainly from South Africa to support its medical training, adding that these imports are not only expensive but logistically complicated. Namesho says local donations, by contrast, reduce costs, simplify transport and preservation processes, and foster a deeper sense of national ownership in the country’s healthcare system. “This level of growth in such a short time is unprecedented,” says senior anatomy lecturer Anneli Poolman. According to her, each pledge is an invaluable contribution to the training of Namibia’s future doctors. “It shows that people are beginning to understand just how essential body donation is to medical education,” she says. Faculty of health sciences executive dean and veterinary medicine professor Judith Hall says Namibians donating their bodies to science is a powerful act of patriotism. “It symbolises the public’s trust and commitment to improving medical education and healthcare outcomes for the country,” Hall says. Associate dean of the School of Medicine Dr Felicia Christians says the change in public attitude is encouraging and long overdue. “This shows that Namibians are becoming more open-minded and willing to support the advancement of medical research and training. It’s a brave and selfless decision that directly benefits our doctors-in-training,” she says. Unam continues to urge individuals considering body donation to have open discussions with their families as this remains critical. Previously, The Namibian reported on traditional and religious leaders saying they do not support the call by Unam for Namibians to donate their bodies for medical research. It is a taboo, they said. Both traditional leaders and clerics say donating bodies contradicts deeply rooted cultural beliefs about death, burial and the afterlife. Ovaherero traditional official Tjizapouzeu Uahupirapi says body donations could interfere with a deceased person’s transition to becoming an ancestor. “When people die, they become ancestors. Not burying them and donating them to the Unam School of Medicine would, I guess, stop them from becoming ancestors or from fulfilling their duties after death,” he says.

Traditional Leaders Reject UNAM Body Donation Call As Taboo [Namibian] Traditional and religious leaders say they do not support the call by the University of Namibia (Unam) for Namibians to donate their bodies for medical research.

Traditional leaders reject Unam body donation call as taboo Traditional and religious leaders say they do not support the call by the University of Namibia (Unam) for Namibians to donate their bodies for medical research. It is a taboo, they say. Both traditional leaders and clerics say donating bodies contradicts deeply rooted cultural beliefs about death, burial and the afterlife. Unam says 11 individuals have pledged to donate their bodies for medical research and teaching purposes. Ovaherero traditional official Tjizapouzeu Uahupirapi says body donations could interfere with a deceased person’s transition to becoming an ancestor. “When people die, they become ancestors. Not burying them and donating them to the Unam School of Medicine would, I guess, stop them from becoming ancestors or from fulfilling their duties after death,” he says. He was speaking to The Namibian in an interview on Tuesday afternoon. Uahupirapi also questioned why modern alternatives are not being considered for training medical students. “The world has moved on technologically. Why don’t they get those modified dolls that students can cut open and perform their operations on?” he asked. Oukwanyama Traditional Authority chairperson Andrew Naikaku shares similar concerns. “A dead person is a dead person, and you are to do away with that person respectfully. We don’t have anything like that in our tradition. That’s why we don’t support something like that,” Naikaku says. According to Mbunza Traditional Authority leader Hompa Kaundu, the body donations contradict traditional norms and beliefs. “It is very difficult in our traditional norms to accept that, it is taboo,” Kaundu says. He adds that family members who agree to donate a corpse will be called to the traditional court, because that is equivalent to murder. “It is a sin in traditional norms. It will impact the traditional custom negatively,” says Kaundu. He says children and people will not fear death nor respect the traditional beliefs and practices surrounding death. RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE Speaking to The Namibian, Alliance of Christian Churches in Namibia executive chairperson Dolly Nengushe says the church acknowledges the sacredness of the human body but also supports the spirit of compassion behind body donations. “From a biblical standpoint, the human body is indeed sacred, as it is described in 1 Corinthians 6:19 as the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit’. However, scripture also teaches that our eternal destiny is not determined by what happens to our physical body after death,” she says. Nengushe says donating one’s body to medical science can be seen as an act of service aligned with biblical teachings about loving one’s neighbour and helping others. “To families and individuals considering body donation, I would advise careful reflection, prayer and open discussions within their families and church communities. It is not inherently sinful to donate one’s body for medical purposes, provided it is done with dignity, respect and in accordance with both family and legal consent,” she says. However, spokesperson for the Islamic Centre in Windhoek, Imaam Abdulbah Haroon, told The Namibian that body donation is not permissible in Islam due to the sacred status of the human body after death. “It’s not permissible for a Muslim to donate his or her body for medical purposes after death because medical research often involves cutting and examining the body. “In Islam, once a person dies, the body is protected under Islamic law. It is not permissible to transgress against it in any way whether by wounding, dissection or otherwise unless there is a legitimate reason under Shariah law. “If a woman dies while pregnant and the fetus is still alive, then it becomes mandatory for doctors to try to save the life of the unborn child. This is permissible because the intention is to preserve life. If we are sure that the fetus is already dead, then such a procedure is not allowed,” Haroon says.

‘Corpses Ti?’ So apparently, the University of Namibia (Unam) is out here respectfully begging for bodies. Yes, you read that right, they need actual corpses. Cadavers. Not donations, not school shoes, not blood. Corpses for scientific study. For the noble cause of training medical students so they don’t accidentally remove your kidneys when you just had a sprained ankle. The first Namibian who read that article went: “Corpses ti? Muatje otjiti!” The problem here is that a dead person isn’t just a dead person in Namibia. Oh no. They can be the ancestral WhatsApp group admin. Witchcraft consultant. Healer. Hunted. Haunted. Respected. Feared. And now you want us to casually hand them over to be sliced up like onions in a biology class? Waarso? Let’s just imagine, for a moment, the average Namibian family being approached for a body donation, and you will hear things like “The devil is a liar!” and “It’s not our culture”. I did a quick survey on why Namibians will not donate their bodies, and here are the top seven reasons: “My ancestors will be angry.” If you’ve ever been in a Namibian household, you know ancestors are like spiritual landlords. They’re always watching, always demanding rituals, and allegedly quick to withdraw blessings when you skip the goat sacrifice. If they hear their great-grandson’s brain is chilling on a stainless steel pedestal, thunder will strike. “What if they use it for witchcraft?” Ah, the eternal Namibian plot twist: witchcraft. Everything is witchcraft. You fail a test? Witchcraft. You lose your job? Witchcraft. Your body ends up at Unam? Definitely witchcraft. There’s a deep paranoia that even the university’s anatomy department might have a side hustle in the occult. “The Bible says … (insert whatever fits the argument).” Look, no one actually knows which verse says you must be buried fully intact and in your Sunday best. But many Namibians will quote something vague, like “Our bodies are temples …” (which is fair), but then they jump to “… and no one must touch the temple after death except the pastor and the undertaker with Vaseline and cotton balls”. “I need to be whole for resurrection.” Because, obviously, when Jesus comes back, He needs to find all your parts in one place. If your brain is in Windhoek and your left thigh went to Ongwediva for further study, how are you supposed to reunite for the Rapture? “People will talk.” In Namibia, your reputation survives you. The fear is not death itself, but what people will say at your funeral. “Yoh, did you hear? They didn’t even bury him. Unam came and took him. Just like that, chommie. Like a chicken for biology practicals.” “I want to be buried next to my family.” Fair. Touching. Except we forget that half our graveyards are filled with folks who didn’t even like each other in life. Now you’re spending eternity next to the cousin who still owes you N$400. Ai. “I’m not ready.” Sir, you’re dead. You are either ready to be a feast for maggots, or to save your fellow humans through science. But here’s why it’s important to donate our bodies to medical science: We can’t keep outsourcing bodies from South Africa and Europe. Even corpses have visa problems these days. We need the corpses of real sons and daughters of the soil. Namibia desperately needs more doctors. Doctors who know where your spleen is without checking Wikipedia. Doctors who’ve practised on real human bodies, not plastic mannequins that don’t have veins, fat, trauma or spiritual pressure. Future surgeons need to understand what a real, lived-in, complicated Namibian body looks like. Not everything inside us looks like a textbook diagram. Some of us ate kapana for 43 years. There are layers, my friend. If we want our doctors to stop diagnosing headaches as pregnancy and stop cutting off the wrong limbs, we might need to rethink what we do with our bodies after we leave them. Yes, there are beliefs. Yes, there’s culture. But maybe, just maybe, we could question whether some of those beliefs still serve us today. What if we tested them? What if we found out that our spirits don’t actually get trapped in a lab drawer? What if donating your body could literally save hundreds of lives and teach hundreds more how to preserve others? What if this is exactly where others wavered? Right there and then when your country needed you the most. Every bit of you. What if your final act of giving could be the most powerful legacy you leave behind? The post ‘Corpses Ti?’ appeared first on The Namibian.

How to donate your body – Unam A Total of 11 Namibians have responded to the University of Namibia’s call to donate their bodies to assist in the training of student doctors at the Unam School of Medicine. University of Namibia (UNAM) spokesperson Simon Namesho (SN) says the institution has seen a notable increase in public interest in body donations since receiving its first Namibian cadaver in 2024. He spoke to Desert FM (DFM) yesterday, explaining cadaver-based learning in detail: DFM: What is the current demand for cadavers at the School of Medicine, and how critical is this resource? SN: The Anatomy Unit currently receives only half of the cadaver donations required to optimally support student learning. Ideally, 10 donations would allow for small group interaction, eight students per station, for effective engagement. Despite this constraint, our educators have adapted teaching methodologies to maximise understanding and uphold academic excellence. Cadaver-based learning is essential to health sciences training. Anatomy is one of the foundational subjects in a medical student’s journey. Donated bodies serve as the first ‘patients’ students encounter, providing a tangible understanding of human structures that textbooks and digital models cannot fully replicate. DFM: Can you describe how a donated body is used in the curriculum? SN: A donated body is studied in-depth over two academic years, during which students examine the human body’s systems. The curriculum is system-based, allowing students to learn about the urogenital system, the musculoskeletal system, the gastrointestinal system, the cardiovascular system, and the nervous system. Each semester covers specific systems, and students are guided through detailed dissections and observations. DFM: How does the scarcity of cadavers affect the quality and scope of medical training at Unam? SN: While the scarcity of cadavers does not compromise our commitment to quality education, it does affect the amount of time each student can engage directly with the specimens. The limited number of permanently retained teaching specimens means practical exposure is shared among many. An increase in donations would significantly enhance hands-on learning, allowing students more time to explore and internalise anatomical structures. DFM: What difference does it make to have Namibian cadavers, as opposed to those from South Africa or elsewhere? SN: Utilising Namibian donations supports local medical education – both symbolically and practically. Importing loaned cadavers, especially from South Africa, are not only expensive due to transport and embalming costs, but also involve time-consuming legal and logistical arrangements. Local donations reduce these barriers and deepen the sense of national contribution to developing Namibian healthcare professionals. DFM: Is there a specific protocol or ceremony the university observes to honour these donors, especially given cultural sensitivities? SN: Yes, each semester begins with a ‘Rose Ceremony’ to honour our donors. During this solemn occasion, a religious leader offers a prayer of gratitude, and students place a rose on the body, recognising it as their first patient. The ceremony is followed by a session on the ethical and respectful handling of human remains. This ritual reinforces the dignity and humanity of each donation. DFM: Have there been any changes in public attitudes toward body donation since the first Namibian donor came forward last year? SN: Indeed. Since receiving our first Namibian donor in 2024, we have observed growing interest. To date, 11 individuals have formally pledged to donate their bodies posthumously. The increased public engagement, especially following media broadcasts, suggests that awareness and openness are improving. The act of body donation is gaining recognition as a noble and transformative contribution to medical education – yet more is needed today. DFM: Are specific communities or regions more or less open to body donation? SN: At this time, this cannot be said with certainty. Perhaps as the potential donor list increases. DFM: Has the university considered public outreach or education programmes to help destigmatise this topic? SN: Yes, over the years, the Anatomy Unit has engaged in various outreach efforts. Recent initiatives, in 2024 and 2025, have generated meaningful dialogue and public interest. Given this momentum, we see strong merit in institutionalising an annual body donation awareness campaign to maintain visibility, address misconceptions, and encourage broader community participation. DFM: Please walk us through the steps to become a donor. SN: Becoming a body donor involves the following steps: 1. Download the Body Donation Form from the Unam website or request it via email from Dr Anneli Poolman at apoolman@unam.na. * Read and complete the form once comfortable with the decision. * Attach a signed copy of the form to your last will and testament. * Discuss your intention with your next of kin and family members. * Return the signed form via email to the address above. This act of generosity leaves a lasting legacy by helping train future generations of Namibian health professionals. The post How to donate your body – Unam appeared first on The Namibian.

Unam appeals for body donations to train Namibian doctors The University of Namibia (Unam) is calling on Namibians to donate their bodies to be used by medical students during their studies. The university says so far 11 individuals have pledged to contribute to the Unam School of Medicine through donating their corpses for research purposes. Unam School of Medicine spokesperson Simon Namesho says the institution has seen a notable increase in public interest in body donations since receiving its first Namibian cadaver in 2024. “We have observed a growing openness, particularly following recent media coverage. The act of body donation is gaining recognition as a noble and transformative contribution to medical education, yet more is needed today,” he said in an interview with The Namibian yesterday afternoon. He said body donations are crucial to the training of medical students, especially in anatomy – a core component of the health sciences curriculum. “Cadaver-based learning is essential. These bodies are the first ‘patients’ our students encounter. They provide a tangible understanding of the human body that textbooks and digital models cannot fully replicate,” he said. According to Namesho, Unam currently has five cadavers, including three loaned from South Africa and two donated by Namibians. He said the anatomy unit receives only half the number of cadavers required to optimally support student learning. “Ten cadavers annually would allow for effective small-group teaching. The current shortage limits the time each student spends with a specimen,” he said. He further added that the shortage places a strain on the university’s resources, as importing bodies from neighbouring countries comes with high costs and complex legal arrangements. “Namibian donations are not only cost-effective, but they also symbolise national commitment to health development,” he said. One of the recent donors from the 11 pledgers, who spoke to the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation and requested anonymity, says her decision to donate her body came after years of reflection. She has become the second Namibian to take this step. “Why go lay under a sand blanket and be eaten by termites while future medical professionals could use my kidneys, eyes, heart, pancreas, liver, bones and other body parts?” she asks. She says her immediate family had been informed and accepted her decision, although not all her relatives agreed. “My mom was against it. She used to say, ‘You can write it wherever, but I will bury you with all your organs.’” The donor has since updated her will and formally submitted her intention to Unam’s division of anatomy. Namesho said a donated body is studied intensively over two years, covering major body systems through detailed dissections and practical observations. To honour this act of generosity, Unam holds a ‘Rose Ceremony’ each semester. “A religious leader leads a prayer of gratitude, and students place roses on the donor’s body to mark the start of their medical journey,” he said. As part of its outreach efforts, Unam is considering an annual body donation awareness campaign to encourage more Namibians to participate and to help destigmatise the practice. “Those interested in donating can download the body donation form from the Unam website or request it from Dr Anneli Poolman. Donors must complete the form, include it in their will, inform their next of kin, and return the signed copy via email. “This act of generosity leaves a lasting legacy by helping train future generations of Namibian health professionals,” Namesho said. Under the Anatomical Donations and Post-Mortem Examinations Ordinance 12 of 1977, Namibians are legally permitted to donate their bodies or organs for medical research, education or post-mortem examination. The law allows individuals to give consent during their lifetime, provided this is documented and their next of kin are informed. Institutions receiving the body must handle it with dignity and for the purposes specified in the ordinance.

Your body could be used for anything from cancer research to plastic surgery. Or parts of your body could be used for different projects! After the research takes place, your remains will likely be cremated. Don't want to be cremated? Then you should probably avoid donating your body to science. Science might reject your body. There are lots of reasons a program might reject your body—if you died of an infectious disease, or if an autopsy was performed. You should have a back up plan. deadparentswhatnow.com
