I understand however that sometimes bodies are not actually accepted because of transport problems from remoter areas.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244275961793143825.post-16684219941554177772014-05-29T08:25:36.301+01:002014-05-29T08:25:36.301+01:00Ray - I don't think you need to be concerned a...Ray - I don't think you need to be concerned about time limit if you are an organ donor. My understanding is that if organs are to be 'harvested' post portem it has to be very soon after death. Donating a whole body for medical education is something very different from that.
