King James IV of Scotland is noted to be the reason for Resurrectionists (Body Snatchers)
In the 1500s, it was noted that doctors paid for fresh bodies to study. Makes you wonder how Leonardo Da Vinci was able to create all his anatomy drawings in the late 1400’s, drawings that were later enhanced to use professionally in medical schools today.
King Henry VIII allowed 4 bodies of executed prisoners each year to study, it became a theatrical experience and was done in front of hundreds of people like a show.
John Scott Harrison
Most famous body that was snatched.
The only person to be a father and a son to a United States President
Present Day
If it wasn’t for resurrectionists, modern day medicine wouldn’t be what it is now. Lets give a slow clap to that dark history.
