Question: Do you use dead peoples eyes to help reasearch

  1. Hi datchihuahua22,
    Good question. People can decide where their body/ specific organs go when they pass away. Just like organ donation, some donate their body and organs to research. Scientists are then able to use these tissues to look at how things work, and answer questions that can help us understand and in turn help other people.
    In short, we do have human tissues. But as these are “precious”, we’ll only use them to answer specific questions or clarify certain things.
    Hope that makes sense 🙂
