When did donating your body to science become an option? What about being an organ donor? How did a system of storing organs developed? Did WWII advance this? Answers that touch on religious backlash and body farms much appreciated.

I recall reading somewhere that when the concentration camps were liberated, volunteers/nurses and medics tried to help the surgiría by doing their make up and hair, in effect to show them they saw them as people. Was this a one time event? How did medics go about treating survivors emotionally?

Where did the standard list of classics (Dickens, Shakespeare, etc) come from? A lot of them were written during the 1800s, is there an explanation for this? What were the classics before the current classics?
