Episode description as stored

In the early days of modern medicine, some of the most important scientific breakthroughs depended on a deeply disturbing underground trade. Under the cover of darkness, gangs known as Resurrectionists robbed fresh graves and sold bodies to anatomy schools hungry for cadavers. Their work helped train doctors and advance science, but it also terrified the public and reshaped laws, ethics, and culture. Learn more about the Resurrectionists and their disturbing yet important legacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
