Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act of 2023
This bill requires entities selling whole human bodies or body parts for non-transplant education, research, or medical training in interstate commerce to register with the federal government. It mandates detailed record-keeping (including donor consent documentation), strict labeling (listing donor name, cause of death, and "not for transplantation" statements), and secure packaging to prevent contamination. Medical schools, research institutions, funeral professionals, and organ networks are exempt from registration. The law aims to ensure transparency and ethical handling of donated remains while prohibiting misuse of donor information.
