U.T. Raptor posted:PYF Unnerving Article: I thought it was a different dead baby incident ^^ The Maryland story is the one I was talking about. I occasionally pass by that park and wonder how no one noticed it happening. There are houses facing the park across the street and it's a well-traveled street. That mom was found not guilty by reason of insanity. I somehow don't think it's going to come to light that the people who left their baby to rot in the apartment had that excuse.

Latest True Crime Japan episode, "The Sugamo Child Abandonment Case", https://soundcloud.com/truecrimejapan (sorry, no way to direct link to episode. Japanese woman has a succession of babies, doesn't register them with authorities so doesn't send them to school, leaves them in apartment unattended. One day she abandons the five survivors (one died young and was carted from apartment to apartment in a plastic bag) entirely, just stops giving them food or money. Police find them, rescue them, send them to foster care, the mother is prosecuted. When she gets out of prison the minor children are returned to her, because Japanese family law has no provision for severing maternal rights.

Japan has some of the worst criminal law and family law in the developed world, there's 3rd world dictatorships with better criminal justice systems and less kangaroo-like courts.

Speaking of dead babies...quote:On June 8, 1964, six-and-a-half months into her pregnancy, Gerri Santero and her boyrfriend. checked into a motel in Norwich, Connecticut, under aliases. Their intent was to perform a self-induced abortion, using surgical instruments and a textbook, which Dixon had obtained from a co-worker at the Mansfield school. However, when Santoro began to hemorrhage, Dixon fled the motel. She died, at age 28, and her body was found the following morning by a maid. This, and many, many more stories similar were all put together in a nice big post in Imgur. That can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/sdHPto, but is definitely not for the faint of heart.

I mean... yeah, it's bad. Just remember that post any time you read anything about people trying to make laws to prevent safe, easy to access abortions. Honestly, as a woman who has had an abortion... yeah, I can see going that far if it meant not having a kid. Ich.

I really do recommend it though it's beautiful When this movie came out, my college Japanese department organized a theater outing to see it because "it's a Japanese film at the local theater, it's an enrichment opportunity!" The professors had... some regrets about that. Never knew it was based on a true story, though. Brr.

Chicken Doodle posted:I read it because I felt I owed it to every woman who died. Every woman who was told it was her fault and she had to suffer and just... god. Honestly, this echos my own feelings. I never wanted kids, and only after getting pregnant and subsequently terminating was I 100% sure kids were never going to be in my future. I had a tubal, then just two years ago ended up having to get a total hysterectomy because surprise endometriosis. People need to know what it was like before we had laws that protect and regulate these things. It's heartbreaking to me that this exact thing is still happening right now in 2017 in countries where abortion is criminalized. Vice did a really good short documentary on the situation in the Philippines, where women that miscarry are being locked up for murder and getting an abortion is sketch as hell. https://video.vice.com/en_us/video/year-of-mercy/56d46b157c65e59c10557a30?latest=1 Rondette posted:Looks like that page has gone now.

For a while now an Italian doctor has insisted on going through with the first human head transplant in December 2017. The volunteer was a guy with a degenerative nerve disease but he has backed out and now they're looking for a Chinese volunteer (this is to be done in China) to be done now in 2018. People are not sure quite yet if this guy is serious or if this is some sort of stunt. So far, experiments done on animals have not gone well although there are Chinese and South Korea doctors who claim to have been successful with mice, with the mice walking and everything. Most animals, though, have had to be put down shortly after surgery due to being paralyzed or tissue rejection. ETA: Reading about head transplants made me interested in other transplants and eventually to the Wiki article about artificial hearts where: quote:On December 2, 1982, Kolff implanted the Jarvik 7 artificial heart into Barney Clark, a dentist from Seattle who was suffering from severe congestive heart failure. Clark lived for 112 days tethered to an external pneumatic compressor, a device weighing some 400 pounds (180 kg), but during that time he suffered prolonged periods of confusion and a number of instances of bleeding, and asked several times to be allowed to die. Well that's horrifying. bean_shadow has a new favorite as of 16:36 on Oct 28, 2017 |

Arsenic Lupin posted:I was an adult at the time, and the slow downward track was pretty horrible. Needless to say, the press were *not* told that he was begging to die. I can't imagine how horrible it would be if a head transplant was moderately successful at first (the person was able to move) but the immune system attacks the head and rejects it. What happens if the immune system rejects the brain?

I just started shaking like crazy one day, passed out in the ER and woke up a week later with permanent brain damage.

Not sure if a direct link is kosher here, but I just finished watching a documentary called The Drug Trial: Emergency at the Hospital, about the 2006 first-in-humans trial of a drug called TGN1412. It had been shown to be safe in monkeys, but due to a small difference in monkey's and humans immune systems, sent all the participants (aside from the placebo recipients, obviously) into multiple organ failure. Luckily the trial was being conducted at a hospital (which at the time was not a requirement) so the ICU they got rushed to was just downstairs. Everyone survived, though one participant had to have his fingers and toes amputated after they began to rot away. The related articles section on Wikipedia led me to BIA 10-2474, in which a 2016 clinical trial did kill a man, and left others with permanent brain damage. The drug was an inhibitor, and they intended to test doses 80x what was necessary to achieve 100% inhibition of the target chemical. Killingyouguy! has a new favorite as of 23:32 on Oct 28, 2017 |
