Donating to science does not equal donating your organs to the living who needs them. Obviously it's great to give your parts away to the needy, but in the case that they are no good, a donation to science can mean that your body will end up in a university med school or biology department where organs can be used for research or an entire body may be preserved and dissected by young people who will hone their examination and surgery skills on you. Either way, lives are likely to be saved as the end result.
