In the 1800s doctors and scientists used to dig up and steal corpses because it was one of the only reliable ways to get bodies for their research

I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve heard that Frankenstein was actually somewhat inspired by stories of that happening potentially supplied by Shelley’s fellow author Polidori who was also a physician and had dissected grave-robbed corpses
