CW: Imagen de museo con Esqueleto Humano
1/6
En 1828, Edimburgo era la capital mundial de la medicina, pero tenía un problema: faltaban cadáveres para estudiar. La ley solo permitía diseccionar criminales ejecutados, y la demanda de los estudiantes superaba la oferta.
Aquí es donde el capitalismo más oscuro entró en juego. William Burke y William Hare decidieron que, si no había muertos naturales, ellos mismos los fabricarían. 💀🩺

“In the sunken woods that traverse the neighbourhood of the burying-ground the last glimmer failed them, and it became necessary to kindle a match and re-illumine one of the lanterns of the gig. Thus, under the dripping trees, and environed by huge and moving shadows, they reached the scene of their unhallowed labours.”
- Robert Louis Stevenson, The Body-Snatcher
