Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act of 2025
HR 2589 requires entities that profit from selling whole human bodies or body parts (not for transplantation) to register with federal authorities. It mandates detailed records of donor consent, medical history, and chain of custody, plus standardized labeling and packaging to ensure safety and transparency. Exempt from these rules are funeral homes, medical schools, and organ transplant networks. The law aims to standardize handling for educational and research use while protecting donor privacy. Violations could result in fines or loss of registration.
