Mercedes Doretti — Laying the Dead to Rest (April 15, 2010)

On Being

About this episode

With an Argentinean scientist, we explore the human landscape of forensic sciences and its emergence as a tool for human rights. Doretti has unearthed bones and stories of the dead and "the disappeared" in more than 30 countries, including victims of Argentina's Dirty War, over two decades. She shares her perspective on reparation, the need to bury our dead, and the many facets of justice. See more at www.onbeing.org/program/laying-dead-rest/120
