About this work

Description

The programme looks at the life and political contribution made by Jeremy Bentham. In donating his body for dissection, Jeremy Bentham was attempting to highlight the practice, which he deplored, of using the dead bodies of the poor as a way of gaining knowledge which would mainly benefit the rich.
