Definition

  • Prior to the end of the eighteenth century, there was little social conflict on the question of how one should deal with dead bodies, so the law had little impact on the treatment of cadavers. Everyone agreed that protocol was to dispose of the bodies with dignity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Organ Transplants]
