What do they do to your body when you die? Do they take the organs out or do the!
Question: Organs are left in the body unless otherwise specified in a "normal" death.
If an autopsy is ordered, then don't look under the blankets near the feet and knees...you'll find some of them there. Gross, yes, but true.
Unless there is a request from the person for organ donation, everything should be there because it is illegal to take anything from a deceased person without their or family's permission.
I took Medical Law and Ethics, and this was one of the cases we discussed.

Normally they leave them in, unless your family authorizes some of them to be taken for transplant, or unless some are needed for autopsy.
In ancient Egypt they used to take them out and put them in jars. This was to preserve them for the next life. I don't know of anybody doing that nowadays.
Hopefully, your body is kept intact of its organs before burial. However, they do drain out any body fluids before embalming. Organs are harvested for transplantation only if you're an expressed organ donor or if your relatives consented. The latter is esp true in cases of brain -death trauma young patients.who are in coma but otherwise healthy and are good candidates for organ transplantation. The program has more demands than supply.
Mm.
This is simple.
The morgue keeps the organs and such in your body unless you or your family decides that they want to donate your organs, but there is a very small chance that your organs will actually be used. Why?
Well, organ donation centers only use organs taken from patients in hospitals whom are considered dead, but their brain and heart continue working and ONLY if this person has had serious head trauma. Now, not to get too detailed on you, they only do this because the organs are still getting the blood needed to continue working, but it also gives the hospitals and agencies a chance to find a person in need of your marrow or organs.
Upon finding a person to donate to, the organs being given must be removed from the dead person's body, transported and inserted into the patient in need's body in 2 hours maximum.
As for bone? That can be stored and frozen for up to three years before it can no longer but used.
So to sum it up, your organs stay unless you suffered a severe head trauma and wish to donate them.
What the hell you care. You're dead!!!
You're not in charge anymore. Better inform your family how you want it to be done cause they are the only one who can help your body, hahaha
