With the Anatomy Act of 1832, however, the bodies of those who died destitute in workhouses were appropriated for dissection. At a time when such a procedure was regarded with fear and revulsion, the Anatomy Act effectively rendered dissection a punishment for poverty. Providing both historical and contemporary insights, Death, Dissection, and the Destitute opens rich new prospects in history and history of science. The new afterword draws important parallels between social and medical history and contemporary concerns regarding organs for transplant and human tissue for research."--Jacket.  aTexto en inglés 7aRitos y ceremonias fúnebres zGran BretañaxHistoriaySiglo XIX 7aDisección humana zGran BretañaxHistoriaySiglo XIX 7aMuertos zGran BretañaxHistoriaySiglo XIX 7aTrasplantes de órganos, tejidos, etc. xHistoriaySiglo XIX 0aGran BretañaxCondiciones sociales ySiglo XIX
