If you're one of those people planning to pledge their body for organ donation, then here's a piece of advice for you. Make sure you 'die' between 10 am and 5 pm, normal working hours of medical colleges so that your body can be respectfully accepted. Because if not, then the dead body would simply have to wait till the office opens up for the next working day.
