Bodies and body parts of the dead have long been considered a valuable material for use in medical science. With the passage of time and in different places, they were dissected, opened, examined, collected for research and therapeutic purposes, gathered to become a museum and other samples, and then displayed, disposed of, and exchange. This book examines the history of such activities, since the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day, as they took place in hospitals, universities, workhouses, orphanages and museums in England, Australia and other countries. Through a series of case studies, it shows the changing volume of scientific, economic and emotional value of the corpses and the contested place in medical science.
