Possibly one of the best moral topics to bring up to your teen kids.

Here i am reminded that there's no ugly people but lazy people. (A twist of there's no ugly women only lazy women quote)

Donating Your Body To Science Might Be The Last Noble Act For Mankind.

If you want to consider donating your body to doctors to practise on, consider the Silent Mentor program where the body is respectfully treated and respectfully returned to the family to either be buried or cremated after a year of study.

You do not have to be a Buddhist to donate, you just need to be assured that your body will be treated respectfully by learning medical students practising on your body.

In Malaysia, the program was brought to Malaysia in 2012 by Professor Dr. Chin Kin Fah, who was inspired after visiting Tzu Chi University in Taiwan where the Silent
Mentor program started.

It initially launched through the Universiti Malaya Faculty of Medicine in close collaboration with the Taiwan Tzu Chi foundation.

The Malaysian Academy for Silent Mentor operates independently of a specific religious body today, it still heavily incorporates Buddhist deep respect for life in its workshops. Local groups, like the Kuching Buddhist Society, also frequently partner with the academy to host regional events to encourage Malaysians to donate their bodies because when they (you and I) help new doctors, new doctors are better equipped to help our family members who will later need medical treatments.

PS the Silent Mentor program is organised all over the world, which might mean there's one in your country as well.

Wow!!!

I challenge you tomorrow to make 1 small act to make an impact for yourself or for somebody's life

Like offer food to a struggling friend you know
Like pick rubbish around your area as you go for a walk
Like call your dad on the phone
Or finish that home project you've been procrastinating

If not us, who?
If not now, when?
