A body donation is the unconditional and unpaid provision of a body for medical and dental education and research after death.Kanagawa Dental University is conducting a body donation project in Yokosuka City, and the number of registered body donations in 2015 was 745.The body donation is supported by the noble idea of ​​"I want to contribute to medicine and dentistry", but if you live alone and have no relatives you can rely on, even if you want to register the body donation, the university will not refuse it. The current situation is that we do not get.This is because, in the case of unaffiliated people, there are often no "reliable bereaved families" who inform the university of death procedures, bones, or death information.

　On the other hand, in Yokosuka City, in 2015, we launched the "Ending Plan Support Project" to support death procedures, funerals, and bone-laying based on the wishes of life for people who cannot rely on living alone and have no time to live. It started in July.

　Kanagawa Dental University has signed a partnership agreement with this ending plan support project, and if a person who has no relatives who can rely on wishes to donate, he / she will also register for the ending plan support project at the same time with the consent of the person, and with the university and the city. Share information with.By doing so, anxieties about death procedures, bone-laying arrangements, and obtaining death information will be dispelled, and it will be possible to respond to the wishes of unaffiliated people to register their body donations.
