William Henry Harrison and father of Pres. Benjamin Harrison, was stolen from its grave and sold to medical research. The version that I first read was that one of the students recognized the man's body and alerted authorities. In looking for confirmation from credible sources, I find a wide selection of variations on the story, which makes it likely that this is nothing but an urban legend. <BR/><BR/>A few references:<BR/>http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/presidents_and_first_ladies/46686<BR/><BR/>http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/287/9/1183Hodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288259527410351909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-28600449604210330182008-05-26T22:31:00.000-07:002008-05-26T22:31:00.000-07:00and if english doesn't work out, you can always do...and if english doesn't work out, you can always donate it to Christian Science.DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646009051818839550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-84897879496370566172008-05-26T19:45:00.000-07:002008-05-26T19:45:00.000-07:00It's not exactly the same as donating his body to ...It's not exactly the same as donating his body to science, but Jerry Orbach donated his eyes to medicine.

I'm confident the English Dept. would find a creative use for a dead body.<BR/><BR/>As a younger man back in the day, I worked as an English teacher at Xian Medical University, helping faculty and students improve their English.<BR/><BR/>First day in the building, I noticed the blood-stained elevator, was told it was used to transport bodies (of criminals who were executed for various crimes at the local sports stadium) for organ transplants in the basement. I was too much of a wimp to explore. <BR/><BR/>My students were all nice people, of course. Some people from outside the med school came in to do these special projects.<BR/><BR/>-Doug Millison<BR/>http://TheConcreteJungleBook.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862983697040911126noreply@blogger.com
