What's that cute animal with the gravestone in the background? I'm just staring at it I can't even listen to what she's saying.

Yep, we are 20 minutes into the future.

Deplorable!

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse the first question came up 🙄

I had the opposite problem with my Dad's body after he passed away. He had signed up with an Australian university to donate his body to science. But the uni wouldn't take his body. It turned out that when the uni changed to a computer database of donors, they had sent new forms for my Dad to sign. He never signed them, so unfortunately, his wishes weren't granted.

I'm a UNT alumni and this is embarassing. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Wtf!!! Not only undignified for the deceased, but the poor families for those who were missing persons Not to mention all the possibly suspicious deaths that might have been picked up had someone bothered to do a basic pass, as is the job of the county morgue when random bodies turn up (ie: no one can immediately account for Joe they died while in hospital or an end of life care program etc)

Hi from Perth! Great video. X

Many years ago, plastinisation of bodies was developed. Then, once done, were "models". Sold for exhibition in many countries. For probit. Allegedly, executed people. There is a big market for everything, if you can cash in. Sad, but it is human nature, I guess, if money is driving us.

Body parts have been for, "sale", for a very long time. Sad, but if there is a market and a dollar in it....someone will supply. Sad, but true.😢

I’m really not surprised it was in Texas.

Aaaand of course its in Texas... who wooda thunk it?

They'll never learn. 😪

We used donated human bodies when I was at Uni. The thought that they weren't actually donated is horrifying. The Uni I went to had it's own donation program here in New Zealand, they weren't purchased. But I'm sure many of the students who used the bodies supplied by UNT would be just as upset as I would have been.

No not North Texas please 😢

I'm American so I'll say it for you: the military here dngas about the vets. They're treated pretty much like the wrapper of a candy bar. The military got what it needed from the product and uncaringly throws the leftovers away. Now, off subject, I tried to make a comment on your recent vid about Romanian death culture, but TH-cam would let the post be submitted. Imma gonna ask here, then: I've seen pictures of deceased people with headbands placed that had Orthodox pictures of saints and writing. Because of what they look like I assume it's a ritual most likely performed in Russia, Romania, and those areas that are Orthodox. But, what is it, what does it mean? BTW, my assumption is due to my being baptized, confirmed, and partially raised in the Orthodox Catholic church, so I recognize the pictures and writing, but I have never actually seen the headband thing, except in pictures (via videos on TH-cam of memento mori).

Couldn't happen in a more likely state. Except maybe Florida.

Wow. Texas hates its Poor and Disenfranchised. Who knew??

Oh this is gonna be good -settles in-

Why do I feel like this was going to be one of those videos where it goes one for a few seconds and after it flashes on the screen 'why are you still watching😑🤨🤔' 🤣😅

That is an interesting thought. I don't think we have any equivalent effort in America. Death and aging are the true taboo topics here.

You can’t really teach kids respect when you’re not there to catch them making a mistake to correct them. The teachers are. You can say all sorts of things outside of a teachable moment that will not sink in for a child. But if you’re not there for the teachable moments you can’t do anything. Children need to learn things immediately. Not 4 hours later. This is just one reason I homeschool my kids now.

When my younger daughter was 12, a girl who had been in her class but left the school, was killed in a hit-and-run accident. As parents, we gave our daughters the opportunity to attend her funeral and accompanied them. I believe it helped my daughter accept the finality of death and let her express her feelings. I think it's impossible to keep death as a topic out of schools. It's a part of life and unfortunately students, especially in high school, will be exposed to deaths of young people they know due to suicide, drugs, car accidents etc. They may also have to deal with the death of family members.

In the US I think the closest we come to death education is literature class. We puritanically don’t want the kids reading about - gasp - sex, so every poem, story, and novel is about death. But not in a helpful way like you’re talking about.

Great point...sadly there's a difference between should and actuality so school becomes the band aid

On the subject of parents finding something to complain about… not death related… We were learning about culture in my 2-3yo kindy class. Celebrating all the different places of the world our children’s families have come from. I am first Gen Aussie on my fathers side - the rest are from Japan. And I’m proud of that heritage. The rest of the families supported this learning and sent in many cool cultural artefacts for us to explore….except for one family. One family became very upset and told us that we were causing division and unnecessary focus on where his daughter’s family came from (Iran), instead of the fact that they were Australian. I tried to explain to him that it was a celebration of differences AND to remind them that, yes indeed, they came from different places, but we are all Australian. But yeah, he wasn’t happy. I looked at the situation as being that his daughter would eventually feel ashamed that her heritage is Iranian. I mean, we have a kid in my class who is proudly Russian AND Ukrainian! And we celebrate that!

There was a coming-of-age-movie titled "Submairne", in which the idea was floated that the main purpose of pets is to die and thus introduce children to the topic of death. Part of the plot was the protagonist trying to murder a friend's dog. Her mother was sick with cancer and he wanted to make sure the dog dies before.

Your videos are always great but this could be your best one yet 💜👍

So, just what are parents’ responsibilities? We keep heaping more and more responsibility on schools/teachers. The parents just have to sh’t the kids and they’re done?

My daughter was 3 1/2, when her grandfather died. My son was one year old. We took the kids to the hospital, the funeral home and funeral.Her grandmother went 6 months later. We did the same. Explained in very,very simple terms. That was over 30 years ago. They are great adults. Both were at their dad's side when he died. I was proud of them.

So, I haven't heard this issue specifically preached on. But, overall god's sovereignty is preached on a lot by Presbyterians in particular. Baptists as well but not quite as much. Life being sacred is commonly used as a reason for opposing Assisted suicide and such. It is my understanding that catholics view suicide as self-murder effectively, under the justification that only god has the right to end a life. (Or maybe arguably the the state as well. Since they are given the power of the sword.) Some other Christians also believe that, but it doesn't seem to be super common around here at least. Although, of course it is still viewed very negatively. There are people who sometimes make remarks about people who commited suicide going to hell and such, but that is really insensitive and viewed with disdain. So it might be that there are more people who believe that but are ashamed to mention it. Overall, since life is sacred. At least trying to save someone who is dying if you are able seems to be a duty to an extent. But, in cases where someone is in extreme pain and has has to be resuscitated multiple times then it seems like it would be sensible to respect god there, since it would seem like he is trying to take them to an extent. I do think it depends upon their age, since it kind of feels particularly tragic for someone very young to die, especially children. I think that is more of a general cultural thing though. If you had a young child, or even young adult who was hurt very badly, then in that sort of situation Assuming there isn't a triage concern, then I think it would make more sense and wouldn't be as cruel to revive them more times. But if someone likely isn't going to live much longer anyways, and forcing them to hold on just a little bit longer is going to cause a lot of suffering, then it isn't treating them very well to prolong it.

In the US public school I work in as a library assistant teachers in all subjects grades 6 to 12 (ages 11 to 18) are required by law to give homeroom lessons about sex abuse, cyber bullying, date rape, and suicide prevention. We are required to have monthly fire drills and annual lockdown practice. But we don't talk much about death or funerals.

In 1974 I was in junior high.We had a class called death and dying. It was an elective. We learned about rituals around the world. And theories around them. We even had a mock funeral.

If you have to ask, no. I was teaching fourth grade on 9/11 and as a staff we decided to let the students go home and let their parents discuss it with them. No matter, the parents should be notified first, and staff should have permission.

When I was in my first year of middle school U.S. around age eleven. It was a small town and our class had roughly 80 students we all knew each other on some level. A sweet boy died of a farm accident. The day of the visitation we were escorted down the street to the funeral home (ironically a few blocks from the school) and filed past his open coffin. We didn’t have to go but I think that almost everyone did. That was one of my first experiences and left a profound impression on me. I wrote about it occasionally as I reflected that he didn’t look like the boy I knew, resembling him but he wasn’t present💕 As an adult I am very pro death and dying education so thank you for your service ❤

"if you don't like that, bite me." ❤🇹🇼

this has gotten beyond ridiculous. soon it will be "should kids be taught in school?"

I like that Garry is your ghost friend. I have a friendly ghost at my place called Gus. A new-age Shaman type wanted to get rid of him, but I call that rude. Gus is friendly, he doesn't cause me any harm, just nudges open the door occasionally. I'd miss him if he left. 👻

Just wondering why the algorithm recommended your video. It was fascinating though. And yes, i think schools probably need to teach about death given that most parents won't or can't. I like your costume ❤
