Is there any advanced age limitation for whole body donation?

from Anatomical Gift Whole Body Donation Guide
by Regina Lee

No, unless age limitation is specified in the rejection area of each medical school, there is no upper age limit. Physical condition, not age, is the important factor in body donation. In fact, the average age of a donated body appears to be in the mid-eighties for most medical programs.
