Why are organ donor’s medical records private if they willing chose to donate their body?

I understand the protection of medical records.

You can give consent to share your medical records with people while you’re alive.

These people, while alive willingly and willfully chose to be organ donors & donate their body to science.

They know that their medical histories will be an evaluated for suitable placement like blood type, diseases, conditions.

So if people chose to donate their body for science in effort to contribute & better humanity why is the data private, against their wishes?

Do you honestly think that someone knowing that their naked bodies would be looked at and cut up……”Oh, but please don’t tell the public that I broke my arm when I was 14!” ?

Health history really isn't important. You really can't tell anything about a HHx from a cadaver. Ours had a large enough tumor inside him that the professor just told us to group up with others during the abdominal cavity dissection. We never wondered what kind of tumor it was, and it didn't matter.

Never donate your body, it’ll likely end up in a medical school cadaver lab cut up in pieces and stored in buckets of the same pieces from other people.

That is after the cadaver has been subjected to invasive procedures and pranks.

I’ll never forget witnessing a cadaver uncovered in front of the class with a severed penis and scrotum hanging out of its mouth.

It was someone’s elderly grandmother.

The bucket of fetus’ was pretty grim, despite the fact most were likely future democrats.

It seems a non trivial percentage of doctors are psychopaths or sociopaths.

Being an organ donor and donating your body to science are two very different things.

Organ donors allow folks to use their corneas, heart, kidney, etc for transplants, I’m signed up for that.

Donating your body to science can be anything from being a cadaver in med school for anatomy work to having your parts sold online for whatever use. John Oliver recently did a segment on this. A lady donated her son’s body to science to save on burials expenses, and a reporter was able to buy his spinal column for a few hundred bucks. There is an odd marketplace for parts.
