During the 19th century, anatomists and surgeons needed an ever- increasing amount of bodies to advance their research in the study of human anatomy, and, as a result, the dead body trade boomed. Individuals turned to body snatching (digging up graves to extract the body) and selling them to make a neat profit—these people became known as resurrectionists.

The British government introduced the Anatomy Act of 1832 in an attempt to increase the availability of bodies for medical schools and put a stop to body snatching and murder. The Act ended the use of dissection as a punishment for murder and allowed unclaimed bodies from public institutions, such as hospitals and workhouses, to be used for dissection instead.

However, the Act did not fix the shortage of bodies, and the low supply was still not enough to satisfy, especially in London. As the Victorian era plunged ahead in its pursuit of science and innovation and the need for bodies increased and increased, the dead body trade became a complex and dangerous feature of everyday life.

Boy, that is fantastic! Wonder who this Raches is -- looks like an ironically recycled yiddish word. But of course there's room to hate both hellholes -- notably because they're always in cahoots in destroying happiness and innocence worldwide.

He tells us basically nothing about himself, but rather funly -- "Domesticated anthropoid livestock who exist for the benefit of nobler beings, such as rhymes with triggers."

Maybe Raches is Greek Nemesis, after all, is a Greek concept.

Whew -- wotta search! 2nd person singular of 'scratch' in Spanish.... Google Translate finds in it French, translates to English as the same word.... dictionary.com finds no trace.... Trying Translate the other way, raches in English yields 'courbatures' in French ('aches' in English, the site possibly misreading it as such).

Aha? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raches

Maybe though he or she is hinting at ethnic background

Raches

Raches is a village and a former municipality on the island of Ikaria, North Aegean, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Ikaria, of which it is a municipal unit. With a population of 2,238 inhabitants and a land area of 101.768 km², it is the largest in area, smallest in population, and therefore the least densely populated of the three municipal units on Icaria. The other two municipal units are Agios Kirykos and Evdilos.

Fine with me if he's Greek -- hopefully a Golden Dawn hotshot!

Don't be so sure it's a him. Nemesis, after all, was a Greek goddess.
