After her mum told her that she has decided to donate her body when she dies, Lucy speaks to families whose loved ones made the same decision, to find out how they feel about it.

When ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Wales' Lucy Owen's mum told her that she will be donating her body to Cardiff University for education and training when she dies, Lucy realised that she didn't know anything about body donation.
