Resurrectionists
Resurrectionists are individuals or groups who engage in the practice of digging up and stealing corpses from graves, usually for medical experimentation or research purposes. This controversial and often illegal activity has been documented throughout history, with some resurrectionists gaining notoriety for their macabre practices. The motives behind resurrectionism vary, but it is often driven by a desire to further scientific knowledge or to supply medical schools with cadavers for dissection. Despite the ethical and legal implications, resurrectionism has played a significant role in the advancement of medical science.
