Donating your body to science is a final, noble act. If you’re donating it to one of the world’s most prestigious medical schools you might even hope you will contribute to a scientific breakthrough. But at Harvard Medical School something went wrong…the head of their mortuary had gone rogue and in 2019 a shocking discovery led to the realisation that body parts were being sold online. So how did Cedric Lodge go from respected member of the Harvard community to running a network of human oddity collectors, and making huge profits? And what were their customers doing with the body parts? In Head Number 7 geneticist and ancient DNA expert Professor Turi King, takes you inside Cedric’s descent into darkness, finds out more about the people who donated their bodies only to be sold for parts and asks, who owns your body after you die?

Why does she have to speak like that? Look up vocal fry.
Good, but why the extensive focus on the UK?

As an archaeologist, I was really enjoying the discussion of the bioanthropology. I’m also from NH and find this story fascinating because it’s so local to me. I am very confused at this point however about why there is such an extensive focus on the laws, practices, etc around human remains in the UK rather than in the US. I keep thinking I’ve missed something. I’m hoping that at some point it will become clear to me why such a substantial portion of this podcast about a crime committed in the US spent almost an entire episode featuring a British oddities seller. Maybe this is a UK-based podcasting outfit trying to add filler content they couldn’t get otherwise? Hoping content becomes a bit more focused on material/people that are more locally relevant to the story going forward.
