better now it's it's uh the nation doesn't talk about it just like just like the cleveland story this is one that ends up connecting so amazingly to the changes that were going on in the gilded age and i think that that's one of the ways that this is makes such an interesting episode is that you're able to talk about the truly interesting story and then go beyond that and talk about how this was affecting so many different things and you're right they do essentially like well if we if we're picking up the bodies of like drunks and homeless people at least then we have to have the bodies yeah they they essentially decide that you know the medical industry had to have these bodies yeah it wasn't a particularly uh good way for them to get them so yeah they just decide well we won't we will have a moral thorough system of picking up people that no one's gonna miss and uh but they they were apparently doing it for years and it was i think people people at least kind of knew i it was there yeah i think it happens i think they had to yeah and there and there are many other stories i mean there might be more episodes on these you know these great robert guys there were some of them that were you know prolific you know what they did but i mean if you you wonder if the uh if the students that were going in that college realized that in the summer or that what they were doing inside so yeah it's uh i kind of feel like some of them decided that we'll just not ask too too close a question says does it smell is it smell funny in here well yeah the medical schools didn't want to ask at all they didn't want anybody they didn't want to ask any questions because they knew that they would lose their supply of corpses and that this is not just an american issues these same issues arise all over the world uh it's so it's it's just fascinating i mean it's it happened in a lot of places but this is a really particularly interesting story to talk about that one that particularly brought it to the attention of the public and is one that's still i mean today now you know you you put that donor card on your when you get your driver's license and it's it's but also i think we see largely uh see uh cadavers and corpses and afterlife and everything a little bit differently today and fewer and fewer people of even my generation are looking to be buried you know it's it also shows how that's a changing sensibility so we've got several episodes that talk about how people use mortal remains and it's it's extraordinary you know how that impacts us as as a people uh and and how that shows it you know changes transformations in history and our scientific views and our cultural views our religious views as we try to decide who we're going to be as a nation thank you for listening to this episode of the history guy podcast we hope you enjoyed these stories of forgotten history and if you did you can find more on our youtube channel at the history guy history deserves to be remembered we will continue to release podcasts every other week so stick around if you want more podcasts on forgotten history you can also find us on our website URL_TOKEN as well as on facebook twitter instagram
