I kinda need an audiobook with you reading Lovecraft's or Poe's stories. Yes I would pay for that.

[@DavidJBradley]

You are too kind.

[@watson483]

This would be amazing

[@elliotmcdeville1117]

Also Frankenstein? Your voice is like honey.

[@MissAnn999]

Slight correction. You can't sell your blood here in the US, but you can sell your plasma. Whole blood has to be donated and goes to hospitals. Plasma goes to pharmaceutical companies, and it tends to go to making medication for hemophiliacs, which is why you are allowed to profit. If you want to consider a process that pays about $25 for several hours of your day a profit.

[@DavidJBradley]

Gonna have to claim English ignorance on that error. Medication being for profit is deeply upsetting.

[@veganagev2062]

Serious, thanks for the captions I'm deaf af

[@DavidJBradley]

Glad they helped. It's the least I can do.

[@Fable.]

I used to donate plasma twice a week to make rent. haven't donated in a few years and I still tell doctors that draw my blood what the mark is from so they don't jump to conclusions. I have to say it didn't occur to me that this didn't happen elsewhere.

[@DavidJBradley]

It's seriously alarming to me how common this seems to be.

[@CatHasOpinions734]

"Pretending that 2020 isn't happening" has been frustrating, I had neighbors trick or treating and it was so hard not to go full Larry Kramer and stand out front and yell about the fucking plague.

This channel is going to some weird places I'm not complaining

[@TalysAlankil]

29:45 wait until you hear about mummies and other bodies from the antiquity

[@DavidJBradley]

I strongly considered mentioning that sort of thing, there was a very recent one that caught my attention, but I decided to keep it a little more focused, instead.

[@sharonoddlyenough]

Your comment reminded me of 'mummy brown'

[@furtado704]

So, wikipedia, but still "fun". Allegedly, the bodies Burke and Hare delivered were still warm sometimes, so obviously not snatched from a grave, and Knox engaged in deception so as to not allow for the probable recognition of a well known mendicant by his students through severing the poor man's hands and head before the main dissection. An interesting thing to read more about when I have time and stomach.

[@teryel3493]

I would love to see a collaboration between you and Caitlin Doughty! Idk why but I feel your vibes match very well

[@ItsAllNunya]

this was awesome homie. im also now feeling....THINGS, about this giant dude who got nothing he ever wanted.

[@DavidJBradley]

The Charles Byrne stuff makes me so mad. Such an injustice.

[@casir.7407]

less than a minute in and a frankenstein reference?? this is going to be a good one edit: you fool, you absolute fool... everything is about frankenstein if you try hard enough

[@MainelyMandy]

Fascinating and horrible stuff. I read a book years ago called Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers which was about what people decide to do with their bodies when the die. The book ends on a strange note where a man who wanted his body donated to science dies but his widow is reluctant to carry out his wishes because it's against her beliefs. The author tells her she should do whatever she feels is best and so she has him buried. And I remember getting so mad, like I get he's dead and can't get mad about it but it does feel extremely disrespectful to me.

[@InsanitySilver]

Delightfully informative and equally terrifying! Plus it gave me an idea for a great DnD villain! Thank you for your hard work!

[@DavidJBradley]

Inspiring a character for DnD might be my greatest achievement yet

[@vomitfountain]

So glad you gave Burke and Hare a shout-out; their story is wild!

[@kickinit7881]

was having a very underwhelming halloween, but watching this has definitely helped raise my spirits (pun *fully* intended)

[@DavidJBradley]

Glad I could help you enjoy the day a bit

[@kickinit7881]

@@DavidJBradley thank you sm!! your content never fails to make me think abt the world around me, i appreciate you putting it out there

[@TheSuzberry]

I just remembered: according to Christian theology, the human body had to be buried intact in order to go to heaven intact. That was changed in the second half if the 20th century. .

[@rashkavar]

"Children tended to fetch less as they were sold by the inch." ....is not a phrase I expected to hear in my entire life. In this context or any other.

[@0black0luna0]

Thank you for this really interesting video. The issue of stolen bodies on display was smth I mostly connected to the struggles of Indigenous Peoples throughout the world, but it was interesting to hear about this perspective that I’d not even thought about that much before! Also, there’s something very historically funny about “uniquely British problems that are not an issue in the rest of Europe” coming up... 🙈

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

29:00 also on this guy there are modern day people with his same condition that have chosen to donate their bodies when they die, multiple people, so there’s not really even an excuse anymore to keep his body in the museum in any fashion.

[@nerdywolverine8640]

Medical Apartheid covered this topic in one section actually, its an absolutely fascinating and horrifying historical overview

Two years later, but you may well have seen that the Hunterian Museum has said that they're taking Charles Byrne's skeleton from public display... But will be keeping them for research... So half way there I guess?
