					<description><![CDATA[In the 19th century cadavers used for medical school dissections came from 3 sources: 1. executed criminals, 2. indigent and/or unidentified people, 3. grave-robbing. 

It was rare for people to consent even to autopsies (of themselves or relatives) due to the widespread religious belief in bodily resurrection at judgement day. Leaving one&#039;s body to &quot;science&quot; was extremely rare, and if an eccentric wanted to do so, it would most likely be because he or she knew and trusted a specific doctor or scientist, and wanted to advance his research in particular. I would be very surprised if there were a single documented case of a body voluntarily willed to a medical school in the 19th century.]]></description>
