No, I did read it. I just don’t think that Gage’s acquisition was any more ethical. Even if his relatives donated it to the physician, I would say that-
A) Gage himself did not consent and it should have been his choice, not his relatives’ choice
and
B) The subsequent history was basically the doctor donating the skull he was given, again without any consent, and the value seems to be “look at the weird thing happened once to this one person and is unlikely to happen again,” which is basically the same as getting your skin bound as a book except there are multiple examples of that.
What is the actual educational value of Gage’s skull? What makes giving someone a body part without their permission and the receiver then passing it along elsewhere ethical?
I simply disagree with their assessment that Gage’s skull is any more ethical or has any more educational value than a book bound in human skin. Both are preserved as curiosities. Either keep both or get rid of both.
But personally, I think both happened so long ago and weren’t the result of colonialism or slavery, so I have no issue with either one.
