My Favorite Thing So Far

My favorite thing we have discussed would have to be “The Body Snatcher” because it talks about how Victorians collected the bodies required for Dr. Knox’s classes. They would grab freshly buried bodies as to ensure that they have only the best to dissect for medical students. Sometimes these bodies would not come from the grave… Sometimes people would simply be killed and sold to these students and Dr. Knox for the purpose of research. These people would have clear indicators of injure to the skull or other places, but Dr. Knox had a policy of no-questions-asked. In today’s society we need more bodies for medical students to get their hands in, doing hands on work. We do not have that even with the population we have so it is no surprise that the Victorians were more likely to have to find unconventional means. If you’ve read the story by now you would know, the students would sometimes be tasked with grabbing these bodies from the graves and paid handsomely for their services. It was a great story and i’m glad we read it.
