Thinking about donating my body to science?

I have several diseases or sicknesses that are uncurable. The two biggest ones I have are:

IC bladder pain which is as painful as cancer. I feel like I'm dying at least once a week. The pain hurts so much that I feel paralyzed.

EB (epidermylisys bulosa) also referred to as butterfly skin. My skin is so sensitive to friction that the smallest amount of friction causes my skin to peel off.

I wanted to know if donating my body to science would do any good in the sense of research for a cure for these diseases.

I can't enjoy life because of all I have. I wouldn't wish these upon my greatest enemy. I want to know, how do I go about donating my body to science after I die to be studied for the purpose of finding a cure for what I have.

Update:

Body not blood

Really aliens? That gave me a good laugh.

    Have you asked your current doctor about volunteering for drug trials? That's a way you could help while alive.

    As to "how" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,281793,00.html I don't think you can guarentee they will use your body for what you want, but perhaps when you start looking you will find something specific.

    Don't donate your body to science, its the aliens plan to learn our weaknesses, and develop even more horrible diseases to exterminate mankind.
