Cadaver Trade And Anatomy Fear / 尸体贸易与解剖恐惧

Cadaver trade and anatomy fear names the source’s historical bridge between medical knowledge and public horror. In 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代, anatomical schools need bodies, legal supply is limited, body-snatching grows, and the [[BurkeAndHare|Burke and Hare]] murders make the demand for cadavers look socially dangerous.

The concept explains why the assembled body in [[Frankenstein|《弗兰肯斯坦》]] could feel frightening before any modern laboratory scene appears. Dissection helped medicine learn through bodies, but the social system that supplied bodies raised questions of class, consent, dignity, and fear.

Key Claims

• Anatomy can produce medical knowledge while still relying on disturbing or unjust body supply.
• Public horror grows when the boundary between dissection, grave-robbing, murder, and scientific curiosity becomes unstable.
• The novel’s body assembly belongs to this social history as much as to gothic invention.
