In this episode Christi and Mindy talk about grave robbers!

Topics discussed include: cultural norms surrounding dead bodies and cadaver dissections; resurrectionists – who they were and what motivated them to snatch bodies; how the American Revolutionary War influenced cadaver dissection; the very long history of the exploitation of criminals and minority groups for dissection; how bodies were actually removed from fresh graves; the extreme measures taken to prevent body snatching; and the “Doctors’ Riot” in 1788.
