dc.description.abstractPresentation slides for lecture delivered by James J. Brokaw, PhD, MPH (Professor Emeritus of Anatomy & Cell Biology, IU School of Medicine) on October 3, 2023. Uncovering the controversial and often grim history of acquiring bodies for anatomical study, from the shadowy days of grave robbing and body snatching to the emergence of ethical standards and regulations, this presentation shines a light on the evolution of practices that have shaped the field of dissection, prompting reflection on the delicate balance between scientific progress and ethical considerations.
