Essential to this mission is the MERIN Generations Anatomical Donation program. Countless lives may be saved and quality of life improved by the selfless gift of whole body donation. MERIN operates the program as an agent for Touro University

It is through the generosity of individuals who donate their bodies to science for medical education that in depth study of the human body can be conducted by members of the medical community. Because of whole body donation, countless individuals enjoy a better quality of life.

It is a sad fact, however, that far too few know and plan for the donation of their bodies to science. It is MERIN's mission to educate and inform the public on the necessity of whole body donation.

The advanced surgical training that takes place at MERIN is only possible because of the precise gift that individuals make to the MERIN Generations Anatomical Donation Program: themselves.
