Lauren the Mortician marks Halloween with a Morbid Monday look at Burke and Hare, the two men who turned to murder to supply bodies to anatomy schools in 1820s Edinburgh.
🎃💀 Happy Halloween, fellow mortals!
What happens when two men realize they can make a living selling dead bodies to medical schools? Well, in 1820s Edinburgh, Scotland, William Burke and William Hare took things WAY too far.
This Halloween edition of Morbid Monday is taking us back to one of the most disturbing chapters in medical history. We’re talking murder, anatomy schools, the dark side of early medical education, and of course, a little mortuary science along the way!
Because sometimes the history of death care is stranger than fiction. ⚰️
📚 EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY: This video explores the true historical events surrounding Burke and Hare through the lens of mortuary science, human anatomy, forensic history, and 19th-century medical practices. Our goal is to educate viewers about the history of anatomical research, the evolution of medical ethics, and the development of modern death care.
