Killing For Science



Edinburgh: Bloody Code 

Death Penalty imposed for every crime  

(Cadavers in abundance for Medical Schools)

1823: Judgement Of Death Act changed 


After the new act Medical Schools got few cadavers

The demand for Cadavers rose. Each Corpse for Science was paid 7-10 pounds 



Killing For Cadavers became a thing Easy Money for Burke and Hare 



Killing Spree couldnt last long and they were eventually Caught In The Act



Murder method employed by Burke and Hare: Burking

16 people were killed by Burke and Hare In The Name Of Science
