Personally, I feel, that if they want to keep the 'entire' Hunterian collection together, they should display John Hunter's remains- especially if they refuse to release Charles Byrne's remains. It's only fair, after all.

having been to the Body Worlds exhibit, i went it with an open mind and came out with more respect for humans, the cadavers on show were amazing, the experience of seeing them gave me a roller coaster of emotions of which respect for the people who gave their bodies was top. Yes seeing some of the bodies made you gasp but when you really looked and understood what you were seeing it made you understand far more and as i say respect them more.

Sorry to disappoint, but most of the bodies in the Huntarian collection weren't given. They were taken from their graves by the likes of Burke and Hare (who committed murder as often as dug up graves for fresh bodies) or were unclaimed bodies from prisons and poor houses.

Visiting museums like this really helped cement my decision to donate my body to science after I die. I figured that since I've had so many weird medical issues throughout my life I might as well make my carcass useful for once and let people explore it to try and figure some things out that might help others. And if they end up discovering something really strange or rare inside me and want to display it then cool! It would just be a shame that I couldn't be around to see it. When I had a hysterectomy I really really wanted to keep my bits in a jar just so I could look at them but the doctor said no, it was the closest I could have come to seeing myself on display like this.

You're most likely to be used as a crash test dummy. Yes, they use cadavers for that. Or cut to bits and used for medical experiments. The chance of being used as a display is very slim.

It's a museum dedicated to the oddities of man. It was originally a doctors collection and grew and grew and many years ago was put on display for the up and coming doctors.

Kind of reminds me of the Mutter... What people don't think about is that collections like this were the only way to learn medicine in an era before the internet.... or even photography. They're a critical component of the history of medicine and absolutely should be preserved. Secondly, in this day and age, we're too isolated from death. The only time we might experience contact with it is in unexpected and horrific circumstances, rather than having a more thoughtful opportunity to reflect on the natural processes of life and death. This creates an association between death and fear, rather than it being an inherent and inextricable component of human existence. We need places like this more than ever, I think.

Was John a doctor? I understand that his contribution to surgery was particularly useful in spite of not having formal training. I believe he was the person who promulgated the idea that if this person is going to die anyway, let's try the treatment/operation, it may work and a lot did. His brother was a doctor, but note on his statue he is called plain John Hunter.

You know what, you’re kind of right! I probably shouldn’t have called him Dr, when he would have gone by Mr as a surgeon. He did train at his brother’s surgical school and Bart’s Hospital, and attended the University of Glasgow, though, and also studied medicine at Edinburgh.

Absolutely fascinating exhibit, I could spend days examining them all. I find the amount of dental/teeth interesting. When I first stated my higher education, I was shocked to find out (once sugar was introduced to the Europeans) the amount of deaths caused by dental infections/abscess progressing to septicemia. As far as being grossed out by these exhibits, that ended for me on my first day of University. My very first class was biology and as I was observing the preserved specimens I discovered a large Lamprey in formaldehyde. The large sucker mouth and rows of razor sharp “V” shaped teeth made me jump back in horror. I was young, had no idea such parasites existed and I thought I was looking at some sort of alien creature from another planet. After that, nothing bothered me again! Great museum, what a shame so many specimens were lost from that WW II incendiary bomb in ‘41!
