Fascination with the interworkings of the human body has permeated scientific discovery for eons. Materials for dissection proved problematic for anatomists. Andreas Vesalius solved his dilemma by visiting local gallows where criminals had been executed. Eduard Pernkopf has been alleged to have taken some of his materials from victims of the Holocaust. Even today, executed criminals have served as subjects for anatomical educational purposes. These circumstances are explored and the contemporary ethics of each are compared.
人类身体的运作机制一直吸引着科学家们进行科学探索。用于解剖的材料对解剖学家来说是个问题。安德烈亚斯·维萨里通过参观当地绞刑架来解决他的困境，在那里被处决的罪犯被解剖。据称爱德华·珀纳克的一些材料来自大屠杀的受害者。即使在今天，被处决的罪犯也被用作解剖学教育目的的对象。本文探讨了这些情况，并比较了它们各自的当代伦理。
