Thanx for your hard work and awesome videos!!!

Thanks for looking out for us, since KZfaq isn't going to.

Had someone offer me a job that was a scam on Telegram. Avoid all Telegram scams

You don't want telegram anyway! You are not missing a thing!

Great video !! Thank you for all of your hard work and great videos !!

This is so sweet! Exactly what we want to keep happening with ethical and well-monitored body donation programs.

I want to do the same with my body, but these and other cases makes it difficult for family to accept that decision.

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

The same will happen to me! We're cool in my family about doing things not-quite-mainstream.

That's awesome 😊

I’m so sorry to hear this. So sad and disrespectful 😔😔

You're not responsible for what your grandfather did, use this as a motivation to be an example for others, never feel ashamed for who you are, you're the better part of his legacy.

@@javierortiz82I appreciate your kind words but he was a cadaver, not a culprit.

I am so terribly sorry for you and your family. I hope you all receive justice in all of this.

I'm sorry if your grandfather's body was mishandled. I hope your family can find some comfort from all of this in whatever way is possible.

I hope your family gets justice!!

Do you know if he was sold by Jeremy by chance? It would be cool to have a back story from one of the skull pieces I got from him.

@@just-dead-tissue one of the WHAT you WHAT NOW.

They did not put his head on a shelf. Did he spend enoigh time at Havard that they could give him some kind of a diploma?

@@mintchako8079 Human skull fragments that the guy in the video with the mods on the top of his head sold me

Kudos to your husband. In 2004 when the news broke that esteemed British journalist, Alastair Cooke had his body parts sold in NY, I started looking into this subject. The body parts industry is rife with corruption...and why would it not be? The money to be made rivals selling drugs.

That's hilarious as hell

Props to your husband for sticking to some good proper sense and making sure the jerks had their comeuppance

But this makes me wonder if there is (or could be in the future) some way to donate your body specifically for things like that. It's super shitty to have it happen to people who didn't specifically consent to that, but I've thought before that it would be really cool to donate my body for people to use for artistic purposes. There must be other people out there who feel the same.

@@TheMissPoovey there is, in fact, a huge difference between your corpse being artistic decoration and... you being alive, and having practice tests run on you. namely the ol' difference between being alive and dead

And unfortunately there's not really any option for people who *specifically* want to be decorations in some weirdo's house. I've wanted to be skeletonized and articulated for display in a tattoo shop for years, and that just isn't an option pretty much anywhere in the states.

Well the problem is USA allows selling of body parts by private companies and individuals! This is not allowed in the developed world! Its absurd mythbusters can go down to a store and buy recent deceased human bones for their show! Harvard should have to pay millions to each of the victims family! The couple should be jailed for life!

​@@TheMissPoovey That's the whole point of a teaching hospital.

Same at my Univerdity in Germany

That is a very good practice! When I was in nursing school in the 2010s and observed electroshock therapy, it was disturbing just to see but even worse bc the staff were joking about the person’s body. It was an older woman with a wee tummy and they joked “she’s pregnant.” Really disrespectful. I did talk to my professor about it. I wouldn’t want to be treated that way. I am not sure if she could hear it or not.

My dad was there at BYU in the 90s, he was in charge of making a speech honoring the donors when they were done studying them, before cremating their remains (kind of like giving them a second funeral in a way)

donated, yeah right. traffickers

@@thetitanian5544 I typed that on my phone, it never looked like it sent so I pressed the button multiple times 😅 I didn't know it did this until I saw your message

Omg, your uncle tried to pinch all the pennies put of his own family? Thats awful

STOP!! I lost my dad pretty early, I'm 24 now and he passed when I was 14. My parents were not married, only together for 19 years when he passed, and his sisters got lawyered up to get my inheritance and also on top didn't contribute even flowers to his funeral. My mom covered everything whole. My "aunts" did nothing but perpetuate more misery in time of death and grief. I haven't talked to them in person since. I feel so deeply for you! I hope you got time to grieve in peace! 🙏🏼

Your uncle is untrustworthy. Stay away for any future funerals.

What happened?

I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry. 😊

So sorry for the behavior.

USA USA USA!!!

My mom knew the first name of hers, I wonder if it differs by situation (maybe the request of the deceased) or if a fake name was chosen. She was also told about part of the patients life that affected the condition of her body

@@mzmoon100 We got to know the cause of death, but I assume the name is dependent on what state you are in. We wrote cards for the families but they had to go to the group that provides us our donors so they could connect them appropriately

different medical school programs differ about whether they share names or not, when they do it is fully consented to by the donor and/or their family

I think it differs based on the institution and also the laws of the country where the institution is based. When I was a student, we didn't know the names of ours (although the staff at the anatomy lab had come up with affectionate nicknames for them, e.g Granny Jane, Uncle Barry, that sort of thing). A family member went to medical school in a different country and he said the school would organise a memorial day for all the cadavers that were being retired, which would be attended by faculty, students and the cadavers' families, and that the school also covered the costs of burial/cremation, as a thank you to the deceased and family.

I was able to request to the college who got my grandmother to know how her body was used and they were awesome enough to even mail us the notes from the students that would have been cremated with her remains when done. She was used for Occupational Therapists! It was neat seeing the notes about how much she taught them!

As Caitlin said in another video, the legal status of human remains in the US is very unclear, neither people nor property.

absolutely. but he's the manager. you fudge the numbers. it happens in health care and restaurants alike..........

People would probably care more if you could get high off of a human like you can with narcotics

My sister used to work for a private career college that had to scrap it's pharmacy assistant program, because they had an epidemic of people registering for the program, for the sole purpose of stealing prescription drugs during their work placements.

All the regulations that are set up to protect us from ourselves. And now there’s a guy going in to the morgue with power tools.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ArtGirl82that sounds like a cop out more than anything. Pretty sure you wouldn’t have access to narcs as a student.

That is so beautiful.

I kinda choked up reading this. Something my husband might say, being a professor. 😢

I also choked and teared up and flashed back to my best Teachers and how important their efforts still are in my life.... Lucky students to a Great Teacher.

That’s amazing!

I've missed you, Caitlin! Yours is one of the few consistently intelligent, well written and organized, and INTERESTING channels on KZfaq. And you do it without being stuffy or elitist. I love your work. The KZfaq part of it, not necessarily the handling deceased bodies part ( I merely admire you for that part). I truly hope you're treated as well by KZfaq as the game-players and makeup gurus are.

Is that as an organ donation?

@@wordzmyth yup! the nurse actually referred to it as “cadaver skin”, i said “WHAT?!!?”, and she explained the skin is from an organ donor :) i’ve heard others get pig skin for their burns more commonly tho so i’m not sure exactly why they used human skin

@@ryguy56 people who are organ donors really want you to have that skin as a gift to help you live your life. It is nothing to do with the other negative subjects of this video. I am an organ donor and hope that if I die my body can benefit as many as need spare parts if that is a way to put it.

I understand the reluctance to be 'mushy', but I think this is a completely understandable emotional response. Please don't feel ashamed for your humanity and compassion

This is an incredibly kind gesture and there’s nothing odd about wanting to thank the loved ones of the person who is helping you heal from a traumatic injury. You have a kind soul. I wish you a swift and pleasant recovery!

That’s really cool and kind of bittersweet

That's beautiful ❤

Her heart goes on💕👍👍👍

What a blessing for both of you. ❤

As a medical student in the early 1990s, I was extremely grateful for the people and families who donated remains to help me and my classmates become better doctors. Many thanks to your dad and your family for your donation. Each of the students your donation helped educate likely went on to save lives. As contributors to their education, you also bear some credit for the people those students went on to help and the lives they saved.

I went to medical school in the mid 1980s. I will always be grateful to the person who donated their body for my gross anatomy class.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear this.

I graduated medical school in 1991. We had a memorial ceremony for the people who donated their bodies to teach us. They were treated respectfully. I would have felt fine about donating my body until I learned about people like this in the video.

My father also had IPF. It's tough to watch the ravages of the disease, thank you for your gift to research.

As someone whose family member is facing a dementia diagnosis, I thank you and the generous donor so very much.

Absolutely. There is something about actually Seeing the organs and all the structures. That the best drawing etc Cannot compare to. Also. I think it's awesome that they now have online dissections and such..where you can access it from anywhere.

​@izzyjones7108 Wait what? Like a simulation? I want to do that

@@laurieb3703 yeah its because people refuse to donate there body even signing waivers to make sure they dont get "mis handled"

What did it tell you?

That was the best line in this video :) death talk with a satiric side.

I laughed when I heard that. 😂

I liked it too. I literally just learned the difference between malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance earlier today. Lol

Not sure if that funeral director was just really uninformed or trying to manipulate you. There are plenty of circumstances where people can still have a memorial service for their loved one without actually having the body be present. My uncle's brother donated his body two years ago and his family still had a funeral for him.

You still could have done a funeral, you dont need a body to do a funeral. I many cases wher epeoples corpses cant be recovered whyever, they still get one. That should not be issue i mean and what the heck that funeral director , why he was dishonest. Like good if that was fine, but he should have told you its no problem and whatever you want.

Sounds like Dad was honored all around. I can understand the funeral director's thought. Dealing with my moms death presently, lots of family/unwanted opinions...on top of that, i dealt with a death there was no funeral, memorial, nothing, i just had to ID the body and say a prayer. That is more the way i'd prefer, but there was only 2 of us in the room, i think others may have had a better time digesting everything if there was something of a funeral. Its a hard time either way, maybe the director just wanted to be sure.

My partner's mother died during Covid (it was an inoperable blood clot that claimed her). She was cremated and almost a year later, we were able to get all the family in town and a bunch of her friends together to do a "Celebration of Life" gathering. It was beautiful and it gave closure to everyone involved. I'm not even sure everyone was aware that the box with her name and likeness on it was actually her urn with her ashes in it. And really, I don't think it matters. The point was to remember her and the impact she had on all of us. It certainly felt more meaningful to me than any "traditional" funeral I'd ever been to.

my mother had terminal cancer and we talked more than once about how she wanted her remains handled. she wanted to be donated to science (her dream was to end up at a body farm) but said that she knew it would make her sisters uncomfortable. she told me she didn’t like the idea of cremation either. on her deathbed she decided to be cremated to save my aunts feelings and make things easier on my dad when it came to funerary services. i think i’ll always hold resentment that she was made to feel like what she wanted was less important than other people’s feelings.

I mean anyone that knows even a little bit about medical history knows that stolen corpses sold for cash were pretty much the foundation for modern medicine… ridiculous that your teacher didn’t see that

Edit: sleep brain can't type. Why did it have to be literally real in the first place? It's poetry! Not journalism!

such a cool piece of writing I'm sure. Not cool this happened for real, but I bet you wrote something great!!! I used to get a lot of trouble in elementary school for writing horror stuff, like when I wrote about a witch eating a baby to destroy her family's happiness only for the baby to come back and watch over the family, making them immune to her spells. teacher REALLY didn't like that one

@@Amanda-C. because she is a terrible creative writing teacher who likes to suck all of the actual creativity and joy from the craft.

@@karak962 I have never understood teachers who assign creative projects and get upset when a student's form of creativity doesn't match their own. Creative writing, art, etc. is all subjective. Different forms appeal to different people. These things should never be graded based on the subject matter, but on the way that the student applies the lessons learned in their execution of the creative process.

I think art with my bone and skull would be pretty cool but NOT in somebody else’s hands. just my family’s, because this doesn’t really feel like art it’s objectifying and dehumanizing.

​@@comfortme My FIL told us we get first dibs on his body parts when he dies and I jokingly told my husband "you think they'd give us his skeleton so we can have a fully articulated skeleton Dad in the house?" He was like "wait that would actually be so cool!" Knowing my FIL he'd get a kick out of that but obviously it's all a joke, that's a little too weird even for me

@@danarzechula3769 Seems the only safe place to donate your body is a place that has previously been caught selling off parts

I sell human bones want to buy some?

Honestly I might even condidder letting people use me for art. The idea is intriguing.

Or they could just 3D print the bones they need, or use animal skin and organs. There's no actual need to use human body parts, and a whole lot of reasons not to permit it.

I wonder why that person bragging about human skulls isn’t in THIS comment. Wonder why.

I dunno, I spent some time 30 years ago selling small pieces of myself, I think I got like 100 ISK a tooth.

I've thought about selling certain "less than necessary to live" parts more than once... 😩

Yep. I've been not selling parts my entire life. Piece of cake.😊

@@aubreadawnchase I mean, if you make them at home, that's a totally different story!

we sell our bodies to the capitalists our entire lives

As a usps employee, they did not reveal what was in the boxes, or shipped them under other false pretenses as medical waste

That’s stupid, I literally twisted my dental surgeons arm before the procedure even started and told him I wasn’t leaving without my teeth lmao

Yeah, I got all four of my wisdom teeth... Don't know where they are, but I got them from the dentist. Sounds like your dentist wanted to have some souvenirs.

I had a baby tooth until I was 32. When I finally went in to have it removed, I asked them if I could keep it. They were hesitant but I got it back and they even included one of those little tooth boxes they give kids for the tooth fairy. I only wanted it because it was special. The adult tooth that was supposed to push it out came in sideways and when it erupted, it came out the roof of my mouth behind all my other teeth. So, my baby tooth just hung out. Forever. It wasn't loose, it had no cavities. I'd still have it if they hadn't decided that removing it would be more beneficial in fixing my teeth than leaving it in. I'm rambling, but yeah the point was that I got to keep my tooth. You should have been able to keep yours!

The one side they removed, they let me keep. Then I went back for the other side and was told it's illegal. Shady! This was for braces and wisdom removal, so one side each month.

That's the truth.

Like Raphael Cruz, for instance.

Tomas Sowell sounds like a complete snob.

I am so incredibly sorry that this happened to you and your family. Your grandmother truly did a selfless gesture, she made a difference in death. I am sorry that her generosity was tainted by the selfishness and ignorance of others. Words will not offer closure, I hope that those responsible will be held accountable for what they have done. As a med student( granted, not at Harvard), I want to thank you and your grandmother for the privilege of learning anatomy. This type of noble act allows us to learn how to help others

I'm so sorry. That's so unfair.

I am truly sorry that happened to you! I hope you sue the bajeezus out of them! Seems that’s how to hit these types of people the hardest is in the bank. I hope you find answers and you find peace

That is horrifying. I'm so sorry that you and your family are involved in this situation.

A forensic anthropology class sounds so interesting. How come you had to purchase a replica cast of a skull for artist anatomy class? My art school had skulls/anatomical models we would gather around and draw. School is free where I live though if that makes a diff(Scandinavia).

​@@IMModusOperandimunnymunnymunny, muuunny. Muuuunaaaayyyyy

It's not that surprising when you remember that it's pretty common for a statistically significant portion of the population to treat living people that they know as objects and toys. Which makes the treatment of the dead pretty unsurprising, really.

Yeah, man. If I'm dead, I don't need it anymore. Obviously, if anything can be used for transplantation, that's my first concern. In fact, I think everyone should be considered an organ donor unless they've filled out a form to opt out. But after that, have at it.

Especially if a portion of the profits goes to loved ones or is donated to the organisation of their choice.

@@crystalcoolidge6297 They've actually restructured the law in the UK to make it an 'opt out' - so you now have to actively say you don't want your organs donated.

In most US states, that is not one of very few sanctioned post-mortem options. I truly wish there were a clear way to donate your body to be used as art or curiosities

@@crystalcoolidge6297 Nope, opt in only. If my family got paid for the organ donations then yes i'd consider it- after all the hospital and doctors make money off the surgery so why not pay my family for the organs. Otherwise no, wont donate.

OMG, I'm so sorry you had to experience that! 😢😡 Have you filed a lawsuit, or at least considered doing so? I sure would!

That’s so messed up 😭 Your wife had to go through that after her last moments of life, which is very inhumane. I hope you find justice!

I'm so so sorry. That's unforgivable

That is so cruel. I am so sorry.

Sending you so much love ❤

I'm so sorry. All of this makes me rethink my interest in donation. Sadly.

Horrible, how is your spouse?

I’m so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your story ❤

How horrible.

I hope you've gone to the media with your story. Sometimes the bad press is the "incentive" these organizations need to start cooperating with investigations.

That is so sweet you received letters from those people. Knowing how parts of him would continue to live and help others and having that confirmation that it was put to good use sounds so comforting after watching this video.

The letters sound so nice. When my dad passed, they called to inform us that his eyes could be going to a new home if we gave an okay. We did, and that’s all the information we ever got. I did a little bit of research into if it’s possible to find out where his eyes ended up, but apparently that’s really hard to get access to if it wasn’t arranged through certain organizations. It’s nice to know that somebody out there is potentially benefitting from that piece of him though. I just wish we knew more

I'm an organ donor and I hope I can help after I die but I also would like to be naturally buried in a nature preserve. How do I make sure that happens?

that is why I love my province's healthcare so much. Every citizen has a government insurance card and you can sign at the back to have your body/organs donated. A system that saves many lives.

​@@Emilystarchild7 that would be dependent on where you die, maybe look into your home state's or country regulations

Yes. I had a human cadaver lab for my undergraduate anatomy lab. There were strict rules for keeping things with the body. The only exception was artificial implants and I would not be surprised if the pacemaker and the joint replacement parts were sourced from somewhere else.

Amazing 💕

I seriously would pay / donate just to have this song as an MP3.

Can you miss her more please 😜?

Same here! I just mentioned it to my husband earlier this week and ....tada! 🎉🎉🎉❤

Spooky, scary, eh?

You should think it more often!

I was just wondering when she was going to release a new video myself. Great video as always!

I mean, there are totally people that do donate their bodies legally to art specifically, and it is something that happens in the Fine Art world, but those artists don't typically do commercial stuff in the same way as the people in the video.

Absolutely. I don't think using bodies for art is inherently bad, but consent and cultural sensitivity are a big must.

there are some crazy people in the art world BUT historically both doctors and artists have paid handsomely for cadavers from grave robbers. Leonardo da Vinci for example. His studies of anatomy are all from these cadavers that he paid grave robbers to retrieve for him. Meanwhile, surgeons used both stolen cadavers and prisoners to teach medical students.

I do! I collect all kinds of body parts, mostly skulls and bones, not so into the taxidermy side of it. I have two real human skulls, but most of my collection are other animals. Bone is a unique canvas unlike any other. To create something from the remains of an animal that was once alive, just like you and I is a singular experience. Art is a deeply personal thing; what’s weird and disgusting for some, another may find beautiful.

I can understand using parts of dead people for art - Just in a way so utterly different than this as to be a difforent thing altogether. The practice would be a fundamentally different and more respectful thing if the person physically in the art and their family had known the artist and the work being considered and consented to it. I'm gonna bet there would be far fewer creepy cheep-horror-inspired dolls and that blood painting could be poignant and intimate for loved ones. Also, I'm gonna bet there would be huge legal issue to field for what would be a very niche business. Would it be healing for a grieving family to collaborate on all stages of making a meaningful painting with a loved one's old art supplies and other cherished things and also their actual blood? I can see it being really special and beautiful and absolutely nothing like the exchanges in this story. I must say, though, I do wonder about the technical constraints of such art-making. Blood is protein-rich, so keeping it from smelling and "going bad" in any number of ways in this process seems challenging. How you would then make such a fundamentally living liquid an archival medium, so that an heirloom like this could be passed down and loved forever is quite the art chemistry question, and I wonder how the stupid, heartless blood hobby artist here managed to make and pedal such work, given those concerns. Also, anyone whose ever dealt with blood stains knows it turns brown with time. Would such hypothetical meaningful memorial works be vibrant or rosy in their blood reds, or soft and sepia cream and brown works? Anyway, Caitlin is right, this whole story is just beyond awful. Clearly I'd rather follow the nearest tangent that leads to ideas actually reasonable artists might pursue. Is it worth the legal hurdles and spending years and great funds slowly training yourself to paint expertly with hogs' blood for the few people who's love this? Probably it's not workable. Still, for some artist, somewhere, who cares enough, it's a beautiful idea.

That's beautiful ❤

How long ago? In my city, homeless unclaimed people who die on the street are cremated, and then everyones urn is put in a vault in the cemetary under a headstone with the year and a small poem on it. A ceremony is held for them, where all the names (if known) are read, multifaith prayers and secular poems are said. A lot of people go to the ceremomies, usually friends of the deceased, homeless advocates. If family members show up and want to claim the remains later, the urn can be disinterred from the vault.

Our colleague's city is nicer than ours. Here, it's like Chicago animal control. 24 hours with no comes to claim 'em? Ashes to ashes and they don't bother to check if the dead had family. And they don't bother with urns.

Having such different experiences is a problem imho. There should be nationwide regulations for donations of bodies and I know for a fact there are regulations for unclaimed bodies so a medical school using them is horrific to me

Yeah, it kinda makes me think about joining her patreon, just to be immortalized as part of something like that. 😅

I'm a 4th year student and my DO school in a rural state does the same; we treated each first patient with the respect that they deserve and had limited access to the anatomy lab. The urban medical school where I did my master's degree on the other hand treated the bodies and the lab pretty nonchalantly. I really won't be surprised if the next scandal will be from them.

Several members of my family and I have signed up to be donated to our local medical school. So far 1 of us passed and quickly was used and cremated and sent back to his wife. They even gave her a dvd of the service and a private KZfaq link of the service to share. Another passed but they didn't take him because he had covid. I'm not sure how I feel about this. While I don't think I'd want people messing with the remains without permission I mostly think of dead bodies as empty shells to be disposed of. The person that was in there is gone at that point. I think for my own body I'd be disappointed that I didn't get a share in the profit.

@@rozygcf6611 lol im also rural DO 😜 I've noticed these things happen the most at big academic medical centers. Surprise how in places with lots of money, stuff liek this gets through.

Yes!! I was comforted to see her video pop back up ❤️

It nearly made me snort soda all over my keyboard. 10/10, worth the choking risk. XD

“And maybe don’t put your memo on paper as brains with six I’s” LMFAO

Why weren’t her wishes honored?

Well someone like me and her have "unwell" or defective body parts that means we wouldn't make a good specimen no matter how much we love science (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

​@@Painted_Panther that would make really good specimens for pathology courses

It's crazy to think people collect human bodyparts, it feels so disrespectful

So true. Same goes for mummies. I never understood those people.

@@laramaaike3050 yeah, maybe it's just me, but I think it doesn't matter too much whether the body is 2, 20 or 2000 years old, that once was a person and they all deserve the same respect

Yeah only exception is having a written and independent witness signed for this use lol.

@@normalaboutpathologic No, not just you, I feel the same about that.

You'd do nothing

Yale is better!

I thought going to an ivy league meant that you were an exceptional student, but then I learned it’s really because your mommy and daddy have an exceptional amount of money.

@@rubyy.7374- And are alumni.

Shouldn't be hard to get in, they allow plagiarism

SAME SAME SAME

my anatomy lab in college had a female cadaver come in with red toenail polish. I have a vivid memory of our instructor asking us what the significance of an older woman with toenail polish was. I was surprised that I was the only one who knew that meant she was cared for by family, as her age implied she would have been unable to do this herself. every time I looked at her all I could think of was how much her family loved her, and their (and her) generosity to allow her body to be dissected for education of others.
