Disambiguation of "Vogel"

Could a knowledgeable person assist in the disambiguation of the name "Vogel" appearing in the passage "There was a second German edition in 1800-1801 and a further eight-volume edition (1841-1844) revised and with additional material by Th.L.W. Bischoff, Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle, E.H. Huschke, Theile, G.G. Valentin, Vogel, and Rudolph Wagner"? Thank you. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 11:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Social and Political Issues

This section could still use a few references. I added one from Stiff by Mary Roach. Could more specifics be added in this section as well? Such as how the London Burkers modeled their crimes after Burke and Hare? It might be beneficial for readers to learn that anatomists paid these body snatchers to gather more cadavers to dissect.

It could also be useful to point out that having your body dissected in the 19th century was looked at as being a punishment worse than death, which is why criminal bodies were the only ones being dissected before body snatchers came around.

Herophilius might be discussed in this article since he was the first physician to dissect human bodies. Herophilius was known as the "Father of Anatomy". He was later accused of dissecting up to 600 live criminals.^[1] Kaligumm (talk) 03:00, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas for topic expansion

I am thinking of working on this for my class assignment, and I would like to get some input on how I can build on this page. I was thinking of organizing the page more chronologically (more details on how the different physicians progressively built onto the knowledge of anatomy) and including more cultural and societal perspective of people's regard for anatomy at that time. Are there any other areas that you think will be valuable to add to improve this page? Thanks!
