    The cadavers are sentfrom the University of IowasDeeded Body Program(IDBP).

    Darrell Wilkins,director of the IDBP, said,People contact us wantingto donate. I send paper work

    out, they fll itout, and sendit back in. Ilook it over,make sureeverything isin order, andthey meet allrequirements.

    T h ed e p a r t m e n twill examinethe cadaversm e d i c a lhistory to lookfor contagiousdiseases, andto see if thebody meetsthe height to

    weight requirements.[We] dont have

    shortages, but dont havesurpluses, Wilkins said.

    After a donor isapproved, cadavers are

    ...the peoplethat havemade this

    noble decisionto donate
