A talk on the lucrative business of selling cadavers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Presented by Joshua Alan Doetsch
In the 18th and 19th centuries, anatomists needed human bodies to dissect and study. Legally acquired cadavers were not meeting the demand. Oh what a time to be alive with a shovel and an entrepreneurial soul! This talk focuses on the illegal trade of the restrictionist at the height of their ghoulish enterprise.
