What Happens When You Die? | Sci Guys Podcast

[@SciGuys]

What do you want to happen to your body when you die?

[@hi0nc0ffee62]

I think I would want to be cremated🔥

[@scaz99]

either get cremated, mummified or donated to science tho the last two do seem a lot more interesting

[@D34d3ug]

i would want to be buried but not in a coffin just naturally buried

[@josierawr7305]

There's a process where they put your remains in a pod/seed and it'll grow into a tree! I think that's pretty cool

[@danitotd]

I wanna be cremated and have my ashes turned into a vinyl with my favorite rock songs 🙌🙌

[@alexthejustok]

For what it’s worth, if I was diagnosed with a terrible terminal disease or something, I don’t think getting put down in an fMRI machine would be a bad option. Kind of like those death pod things but for science

42:40 - that’s why we rarely have dreams of being on our phones, bc when we’re on our phones , we’re thinking about the content, not the phone itself

[@MeganMegandaughter]

I used to have loads of dreams of being on my phone, everything was written in this weird language even when I wrote a status but for some reason I knew what all of it meant.

[@monbon398]

Tbh bury me raw with the earth, I want to decompose with the flowers 🌸

[@mikhailavandermerwe5636]

I want to decay like nature intended. Also, I have had an EEG before. It's actually really easy for someone to just leave it on while the patient just starts dying. This was just a remarkable coincidence really. Also, love this video. Looking forward to seeing you guys grow. Keep up the great work.

[@garbagesalt]

if someone has a DNR and they're having a procedure like this then all the staff operating the machinery should be made aware of the DNR before the procedure, so it makes sense that as he died nobody really did anything, a DNR means that the person does not want to be resuscitated, so i personally think it's morally correct for them to not resuscitate him since he does not want to be resuscitated. i kind of feel like the heightened gamma energy after death could just be the energy from brain activity converting to a different type of energy, since energy can't be destroyed only change forms, and energy changing forms requires energy in itself so it makes sense that as it changes to a different type of energy the machine gets a very strong reading, just my thought though i am not a scientist i am literally 16 lmao. (edit: this whole thing is worded way more formally than i meant it to be, i know pretty little about the actual science lol, i just think it's an interesting discussion and wanted to give my opinion on the discussion about whether it was morally correct to leave the machine running while the man passed)

[@garbagesalt]

for anyone who doesn't know, DNR = do not resuscitate, it's a legal document signed by both doctors and the patient (or the patients carer if the patient is not mentally able to make decisions due to certain circumstances), to get a DNR both the patient and a doctor have to agree to it. Doctors won't check for a DNR before starting CPR because it's better to accidentally save someone who didn't want to be rather than to accidentally let someone die who was meant to survive, but whenever CPR is started someone will be sent to check for a DNR and if one is found the CPR will immediately stop, but if everyone is aware of the DNR when the patient starts to die CPR will not be started.

could we please get a link to the book luke is talking about around 12:22 ish? 👀

[@theplot1816]

I want my body to be processed into lunch meet and served at my funeral and for them to only tell the guests afterwards

[@s_beetlebum_s]

Just found that podcast, great episode, not related to the topic but Corry looks excatly like Cab Calloway, don't know if you get that comparison a lot but i needed to get it off my chest, thanks for reading this and have a nice day

[@coralovesnature]

Idc what happens to my body after I die b/c I’ll be dead. But something more environmentally conscious would be preferred.

[@brenna5200]

After I die I would love to be cremated and put in a biodegradable urn to be planted as a tree :) I think a maple tree would be nice Edit: I’ve been putting off listening to this episode because honestly the idea of death really freaks me out, and I hate thinking about it. But I feel like the more we talk about it and learn about it, the less scary it will seem.

[@iheartjbgccb]

Exact same situation. The first time I heard a topic about death in a podcast it made me realize I'm avoiding it. I'm genuinely curious about it now and you're right about it seeming less scary. Especially when people literally have a time frame of their life and how they feel about it is inspiring

[@pluto8015]

I leaned about mrna in my sophomore high-school honors biology class, the science class just above the basic class for that year

[@theincarnationofboredom207]

I learned about it in my freshman biology class.

[@Luminara11]

I would like to be composted after death. The soil could be used for my plants/trees or for growing vegetables. There's a company in the USA that has done a lot of research and can speed-compost a body within a few months. The relatives then can take the soil home if they want. I just hope this becomes available here in Germany as we have pretty strict burial laws (the body/coffin or urn with cremated remains has to be buried in a cemetary/graveyard, taking the urn or body home is strictly forbidden. There are a few burial forests nowadays as well. The grave is "yours" for about 25 years during which someone usually has to take care of it. Which plants can or cannot be planted on there depends on the graveyard policy, but usually big trees, fruit or vegetables aren't allowed).

[@brucebruce8758]

@luke, what book where you reading?

[@pokemonfanthings4444]

I think the best way to go is to have a seizure. I’ve had many, gran mal to focal, and I’ve heard a doctor say ‘that almost killed you.” During a seizure you don’t feel/remember anything. The after effects suck but if I die then there is no after. While you’re having the seizure there is no pain. At least that’s true for everyone I know of If someone ignored my DNR I’d be beyond pissed

[@ruthmurdoch1742]

At N5 level you learn about mRNA and at Higher level in more depth. I’m currently doing higher biology just now.

[@Letmebecringe]

In America we learn about dna rna mRNA tRNA and all that in highschool biology (typically grade 10)

[@Letmebecringe]

Grade 10 is like 15-16 idk how it works in the UK

[@theincarnationofboredom207]

When I die I wanna just be put into the ground. No coffin, no chemicals, no treatment after death. Just as soon as I drop, plop me into the ground please. I also don't really care where. You can have a gravestone if you want or not, idm.

[@juniperfox1064]

feed me to the creatures of earth and have a really great party

[@kayleigh1991]

You guys always seem to talk about a topic right after I begin to look into it, it’s weird.
