Giovanni Aldini conducted a famous experiment on George Foster in 1803, where he used galvanism to demonstrate the effects of electrical currents on a deceased body. Aldini, a nephew of Luigi Galvani, applied electric currents to Foster's corpse, causing various muscle contractions and movements that mimicked life. This experiment was intended to showcase the potential of galvanism, but it also raised ethical questions about the treatment of human remains. Aldini's work contributed to the understanding of bioelectricity and the intersection of science and morality in the study of life and death.
