SUMMARY: Harvard University has removed human skin from the binding of a rare book that has been in its library for 90 years. The book, “Des destinées de l'âme,” was bound by French physician Dr. Ludovic Bouland with skin taken without consent from a deceased female patient. Harvard Library made the change based on recommendations in a 2022 report on human remains in university museum collections. The decision to remove the human skin was made due to the ethically fraught nature of the book's origins and history. The university has recently faced controversy involving the theft of human remains from the Harvard Medical School's morgue.
