🌹Thank you so much for this amazing channel. Much gratitude to the Johnathan (who looks like he could be Paul Rudd's little bro) for handling these people in such a manner that somehow makes it not creepy. It really is so fascinating that it's hard to look away. And much appreciation also to the beautiful souls that donate their own bodies or that of loved ones for this incredible educational purpose.👍🦋🌿💕
My mom donated her body. I got her ashes back about a month later. She was a teacher in life. I’m happy to know that even in death, she was still able to teach someone.
@@SamTheMan12 you donate the body, they do whatever it is that they do with the body, after a certain about of time they send what is left back to the family in the form of ashes. Sometimes you just send the body away and you never see it again OR you can ask to get it back. That’s what the organization that I used did with my mom.
My oldest sister died less than 3 months after she was born from a rare disease and my mom donated her body to medicine and she saved millions or thousands of little babies because it was so rare.
@@slunalang Well, in both your arguments, the main comment still has a point ✨ the sister saved millions of babies ( maybe the person didn’t mean that just in the past, but in the present and in the future)
My grandma donated her body to science, she kept saying it was her last chance to have a bunch of men’s hands on her body. She was a firecracker and I miss her so much.
As a healthcare professional, I can really say that the best anatomy lessons I've had were those with the help of cadavers. We will forever salute our silent mentors.
@@fromthefountofyouth I did my research and it's just my vessel. If my remains can provide essential education for future medical professionals than I would be proud to.
@@nicolem8122 That's selfless and you should be commended. Many people would prefer a repose or return to the elements of what once embodied their animated self.
My grandmother actually gave her foetus to sicence around 55 years ago. It was a boy and the gestational age was around 5 months. He was in a biology class in an high school for a long time. I don't know if he still is. The weird thing is that my grandmother had 11 kids alive, and they all went to that school and had biology class and study their brother's body...
I feel so bad for the mom, imagine giving up your unborn child. But I hope she knows that, undoubtedly, she’s supporting and preventing millions from losing their lives.
I hate to be a downer, but she probably died before the baby was born and her remaining family was too poor to afford the modern funeral costs. I know I have my remains going to science when I die because I have no family and don't want anyone to have to dispose of me when I die.
They are very strong. I couldn't do it and certainly not for 40 years. I could MAYBE see myself doing it for a little while but then want him back to put him to rest. They made a huge personal and emotional sacrifice for the betterment of science/humanity.
@@ashleysmith1369 I completely understand that decision. It’s a very hard and individual choice and I’ll never judge a parent for the decision they choose to make. I believe that you don’t have to donate your baby’s entire body if you want to help but also want to lay them to rest. For example, organs. Like I said, it’s a very hard and individual choice and I can completely understand the reasons behind all of them.
I personally wouldn't call it brave but I do admire people who donate their bodies after death. I too am going to do the same, I wish to die at a relatively young age so that my organs can be used to save other people.
@@raykings5244 LOL It Exist If You Didn't Figure Out How You Will Probably End Up Just Like The Rest Of The People Throughout The History, In Hades Where They'll Await The Terrible Judgement
@@joolspools777 This helped to teach people alot of information about fetuses and such, I think they mom that donated must've wanted to help people to be more educated about it. So we should thank her.
@@bruvmariia What are they teaching with that baby in the jar that they can't teach us from a book!! Would you think the same if it were YOU in that jar?
@@joolspools777 Personally I wouldn't mind. I'd be glad to know that people are learning from me. And the people who created books for us, had to get that knowledge from the same source anyway! Else we'd never know🥰
Holy cow. This might be from my high school. The timeline in the story matches, the sex and rough age of the fetus, even the jar and the little fabric cover. I remember our teacher pulling this out to show us once. If it is, I am glad he found a good home where he can continue to educate with the respect he deserves. Edit: I just googled where they are based, and they are not far from where I went to high school. It is totally the same fetus.
My mom has donated my older sister when she passed in the womb at about 18 weeks (4-5 months). My mom said it was incredibly difficult to see her in the jar but never regrets donating her body. She was studied to help doctors understand what may have gone wrong during her development and hopefully help find a way to save more growing babies in the future
How beautiful. I’m sure it helped they can give you suppositories now to help hold the baby in .. medications to keep your cervix closed all sorts of things .. im sure it really helped ❤️🖤❤️ baby’s life was not in vain
I don’t know if it’s common, but I really love how it’s precious body was covered in the little flower cover. It makes me feel like it’s sweet body is not just in a glass jar on a shelf. It has a blankey and respected 🙏🏼
I wonder who made the cover for the jar. Did it come from the parent(s)? And was the material used originally one of his baby blankets he never got to feel? So many questions for a very sad situation.
@@ChideraAAbviewssecondsagoeven though the baby passed away, they were still able to teach us about gestation and the development of humans in the womb.
God richly bless you! So sorry for the loss of your baby. You are wonderful parents to donate your baby's body. His soul and being is waiting for you in heaven!
My sister passed away last year & she always wanted to donate her body because she had poly cystic kidney disease & she hoped to help people who also suffered from it. Unfortunately, she passed from Covid & they wouldn’t take her body. She was a great person who always helped others anyway she could.
I had a miscarriage at 5 months, He was a little boy, but I never thought of that option to donate his body. I wish I had. This is extraordinary work that you guys do.
I also miscarried a baby boy at 5 months. That was 17 years ago, I have his ashes in my room. When I saw the baby's feet I started to cry because that's the first thing I saw when I miscarried. It kinda gave me a little " flashback" and I got very emotional. 😢❤️🩹
I feel so sad when I look at the fetus. Reminds me of my son. Loss him back in 2002, at 34 weeks due to umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Went through an emergency C-section but couldn't save him. His twin brother survived and he's 20 now.
I don't think it is morbid either concidering unlike egged animals like birds who are concious upon breath inside of an egg this baby died unconscious within probably warmth and liquid never feeling the pain we have liveing
We donated my dads body last year. He was Alzheimer’s and we hope and pray that they are able to use his brain for that study. It’s a horrific disease that no one or their family should have to go through.
@@toodles1472 So very sorry- May YAHweh help you and your grandmother and your family. YAH [God] does not cause disease, but disease, destruction and decay happened because of sin. But keep praying. That is all we can do in our situations.
He is remarkably well preserved for beng 40 years old. I'm sorry to see he didn't get the chance to be born but it's amazing that for such a long time, he's been helping so many learn anatomy and potentially help us learn how to prevent another case like his.
they'd have to give all the other dead bodies for science some kind of awards n' stuff too. But if they dont show up to award we shouldnt take it personal
@@samtenbhutia6786 not sure what your reply means, however the best way my mom found to cope with a traumatic loss of a child was to hope that whatever happened to her would not happen to someone else, which is why she choose to donate his body to science.
My baby brother was stillborn at 7 months. I was little too but I can clearly remember him looking like tiny human. Mom got into an accident when baby was about 5 months inside her tummy. When I was in high school I saw a real fetus in our science lab and it reminded me of my brother.To date I will always remember him looking so fragile 30 years ago. To this fetus, hope you rest in eternal peace and thank you for your contribution in the modern medicine. Also to others who donated their body for education. Thank you also to Institute of Human Anatomy for educating us for free. Amazing works you guys are doing. God bless you.
He is about my age or maybe a tad older! I’m 41 now so maybe it was around the time I was born. Hard to believe how old this fetus is. Got to wonder what he might have become if he lived. But also amazing to think about all the people and future doctors he taught!
Glad I didn't take medical school and chose to be accountant.Just seeing he touch the fat issue made me wanna puke. Respect to all the medical students
It is impressive how respectful and appreciative you are to the donors. These videos really put things into a more tangible perspective. I’ve been a nurse for almost 27 years and really enjoy how much I learn from these videos. Thank you.
@@stuffynosepatrol You can try all you want, life is cruel bitch and an endless gamble. Sometimes you're dealt shitty cards from the get go and never have a chance.
Size and proportions on a screen are so weird. I assumed he was in the early stages of the third trimester. Then you see his little body compared to the hand and you realize how tiny he really is. It's so amazing how developed we are when we're only half way cooked. Great video. Thanks for sharing him with us.
In the last trimester, babies just GROW and gain weight. Thats about what they do. All 3 of my kids were born between 39 and 42 weeks. 8'9 oz and 20 inches to 9'2 oz 21 1/2 inches. They range in ages from 30 to 35 now My friends son of same age was born at 28 weeks? He weighed 3'3 ounces was 14 inches long. He spent almost 3 months in NICU gaining weight... We grow our brains/spinal cords outwards...
Might sound weird to some but seeing how small the little guy was instantly triggered my paternal "must protect with life" instincts but of course he's already dead and that made me incredibly sad :( Can't imagine the pain the parents must've felt but huge respect to them for donating him to science. May the little soul rest in peace forever.
I'm due in a few weeks and I had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks, and I assumed the baby wouldn't look like much of anything at that point, but she was already starting to look distinctly like a baby! We could clearly see the profile of her face, her round tummy, and beginnings of arms & legs, I was really surprised!
@@southparkpsycho3275 Exactly. My first baby was a 36 week baby. She was a month early, and thank God she was! She was 10 lbs. and 20" long. They told me if she would have been full term, she would be 13-14 lbs. at birth! To compare, I gave blood for a friend of mine when I was pregnant and didn't know it yet. Her baby was born at 26 weeks only 1 lb. 14 oz. and he needed a transfusion, but it had to be from an adult that did not have the RSV virus. Most adults have had it, but I had not, so they used my blood for him. Comparing them, he was 9 months old when my daughter was born. He was still only 9 lbs., and she was 10.
Having just watched this video, I feel that I need to tell you my story. I was born 50yrs ago. My mother went into early labour when she was 32 weeks pregnant, and she and my father were duly afraid as the doctor had been concerned that he could hear only one heartbeat but feel two heads. My mum gave birth to me, I was 8weeks and 2days early. My birth was traumatic, but more was to follow. A few minutes after me my twin was delivered stillborn. He was my brother and it was estimated that he had died at around 26weeks and was perfect. The story goes that the midwife and doctor who attended our birth asked our parents if they would be willing to donate my brother to our local university. Which they did. Until now I have been unable to picture my brother. It's unlikely that you have him there with you, but maybe he had a twin who misses him just as much as I miss mine. Thank you.
I found myself looking at my fingers to see roughly how big a uterus is! It's fascinating that during our periods it gets a little larger, yet for pregnancy it grows so much it seems impossible! So glad I found this channel!
Not really The respect for life the baby drserve a holy burial The statement you mafe is not true..blind people...over 50 million babies have been killed since Roe vs Wade by blind people who know not God or respect life ..God is tye Author and Finisher of Life you may disagree as many do but know it is not I who you disagree with but God who you will ultimately stand before to answer to ..repent and receive Jesus as the substitution for your sin and. Be transformed!!!. God Bless You
@@estelleschneider9033 How stupid can you be. That baby has saved the lives of so many living children but you think everything is about your fairytail daddy in the sky. abortion doesn't kill people. Fetuses are not people. Cadavers that people donate are responsible for helping innovate healthcare for decades. You think your opinion is more important then the lives of so many wanted babies.
Estelle Schneider I’m a Christian, and pro-life. It’s horrible what happens to fetuses in abortions and I can’t support it. But this life lost can be used to save countless more in the future. Tragedy can be used to create something amazing. It doesn’t mean that we want tragedy to happen, but that we take a horrible situation and turn it around. In order to save us from our sins, Jesus went through some terrible things. Judas’ betrayal, for example, was a horrible thing, yet Jesus’ arrest was used to bring Him glory and salvation for us. Horrible things happen, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from it to make sure things like that don’t happen again. This fetus has probably saved many lives, and there’s nothing to prove that it’s connected to abortion or Roe v Wade. I understand where you are coming from, life is precious and God wants us to protect it. I firmly believe that. But learning from loves lost is not disregarding God’s creation, if anything, it is respecting it. Yes, there have been many abuses of science and human study, but this is not one of those cases. By learning about the human body, regardless of the stage of life, can help save many more lives. Isn’t this honoring God far more? We aren’t killing babies for the purpose of study (even if the bodies are later used, it isn’t the same as intentionally killing for that reason), just using what already happened. If I die of something we don’t understand, I would want my body to be studied so we can prevent or help others in the same situation. I truly believe this honors God’s heart. It is sick and horrible that many don’t respect life in the womb, but the people studying this fetus’ body are learning about it so they can save more fetuses, so they can grow and live a full life. I think we can both agree that saving lives is a wonderful thing. I would love to hear your thoughts. God bless :)
I commend you calling it a baby, so many balless people would go "achtually the fetus is not a human, a clump of cells scientifically technically theoretically factually actually." What ever helps those people sleep at night or greenlight their future poor choices and refusal to take responsibility.
When you have a child, it just feels different to see a fetus in a jar like that. Watching this with a very heavy heart while appreciating science and how it has helped humanity. Rest easy, little one.
This is what I was thinking. I have an 8 month old and stuff like this never used to bothwr me, in fact I wanted to make a career out of it, but now even just seeing a child that's a little to cute makes me tear up.
I noticed that a lot of comments have serious objections to calling the baby a fetus. Fetus is the correct medical term for a baby of that gestational age. Before that, it is an embryo. After that (when it is born), it is a neonate. Just like a leg bone is a femur. It isn't an insult to the leg to call the bone a femur; neither is it an insult to the unborn child to call it a fetus.
Acceptible, but still seems strange to me. Our son was born 7.5 weeks early (he's 22 and 1.82m tall now), so at that moment he'd be a neonate (Matthew is the name, thank you) and a few minutes earlier a fetus. I like this channel, and perhaps this episode best, but he's always been Matthew (or Mary-Anne, since we didn't know the gender before birth) to me. Hi Matthew, here's looking up to you son!
My baby was born last year in week 27+6 and we spent 3 months at the hospital. He got 2 brain bleeds grade 2, lung bleeds, he was on vent for 1 weeks and then over to CPAP and then optiflow. He also had other problems which he has overcomed, thanks to science and his strength. They didn't know if he would survive the first weeks. Today 16 months later he's thriving, he already has taken his first steps, super active and doesn't have any problem! It was hard seeing this fetus (and baby) but I also understand it's necessary to learn more and help others ❤️
Where there is life, there is hope. You may have already saved a dozen people by chance, without realizing it. Imagine what you can do when you are looking for opportunities ❤️ you could start tomorrow.
What about the father? Is there no father that gave his tiny baby to science? EDIT: You guys are seriously stupid. Carefully read what I write before you answer. I have never written that the dad is pregnant. I'm saying that a father still exists...
@@olivertitus1412 It doesn't really matter if who among the parents donated the baby. No one really knows what happen. Maybe its by default to think that the mother would have been really the most devastated because she carried the baby and the one who went through labor.
@@madievans4222 now days a fetus born at the gestation is viable out side of the womb and to the parents it was a baby! Pretty sure he called it both a fetus and a baby so there ya go
My mother donated her body to the medical school in my city. She had numerous heart problems and wanted young physicians to learn from dissecting her heart.
I cannot refrain myself from saying over and over how amazing this channel is. Certainly one of the best in TH-cam. Credits for the introduction where ethics is put above all. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You SO MUCH for enriching my knowledge. Thanks also to TH-cam for making it possible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Think about it. That child never really lived but did more good for humanity than most people. In a sense he has achieved more than many of us. Kind of amazing.
These videos are so amazing. I always thought the uterus was much larger. How tiny to cause so much trouble! In my next life I'm going to be a man. 💕💕💕
The fact that he never even got to truly open his eyes and see the world, yet he’s helped to teach and fascinate so many people! It’s so sad to know that he never got to truly see how many people he’s helped. Fly high little angel. Edit: … I swear I’m not dumb lol, I’m just a bad typer. Anyways changed angle to angel. With all that aside though, rest easy little one Edit: btw read the replies if you want a good laugh
We don't usually get to see all the people we affect, for better or for worse. This as a perfect example of how we should always be mindful, as our existence has an affect on others whether we know it or not.
Poor baby. I’m sorry you never got a chance to see this world. My son is 30 weeks right now. This was a little eerie for me to watch. I’m just glad he was able to help others learn.
RIP to the little child who could make it to earth And great respect to the mother who had this much courage to give this little one for study purposes
i was born a premmie. i weighed 1 lbs 11 oz. i was a miracle baby. i was inside the incubator for months. can’t believe i was a miracle baby. it’s so sad seeing others lose their babies but i’m so happy this mother donated her child to science to teach others.
Were you by chance born at Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas? My son was a premmie born there in July of 1983. He was born at 26 weeks and spent 5 weeks in the hospital. There was a baby girl that was born there near or on the same day that weighed 1pound and 11 ounces. She really struggled and fought to live and I've always wondered what happened with her and if she had survived.
My brother and I was a premie baby also my brother at one pound and me little less than a pound born at 6 months. Both needed blood transfusion and stayed in the hospital for 6 months. God is good !!
My daughter too was a premmie. She is 4 now. I thank God for the miracle. Born at 27 weeks. Weighed 1kg....dropped to 900g. She is okay now, very healthy.
My cousin was a preemie. She was born in February but was supposed to be born in June. My mom always recalls going to visit her in the ICU & says she was the size of her palm. My cousin is 26 now.
My mom donated my brother, she was hurt and sad but she thought he could help others... And I see today that it does help with our future knowledge. Thank you for making this video.
That baby is so beautiful!! Can’t imagine what the parents went through when he passed. Lots of Respect to those parents who donated their beautiful child 🥺
There are a lot of reasons it could be. I lost a healthy, beautiful boy about this child's gestation 22 years ago. I just . . . lost him. The cervix opened and out he came. A year later, I had some imaging done of my uterus and it was totally partitioned into 2 cavities, and it was then we knew why our boy died--he had just run out of room. Surgery that cut the partition (septum) in two allowed me to give birth at term, and that baby is now 19.
@@bnic9471 there are so many things that can go wrong that it's amazing healthy children are ever born. I guess that's why childbirth is so often compared to a miracle.
Those of you in the comments with personal stories of family members donating to science, we thank you. As a physician who still very clearly remembers anatomy class in medical school, it is truly a privilege and meaningful experience to learn from donations. I cannot begin to explain the educational value of seeing and learning from actual human donors. The weight of the decision and sacrifice in giving up the body of a loved one is not lost on us. Bless all of your kind hearts; we are forever grateful.
My Mom's Mom had a blue "stillborn" baby 2x in the 50's. The Drs told my Grandfather that the babies, both times, were beautiful, 10 pound babies, born with their hearts beating, but the Dr or nobody could get them to take a breath. Decades later, when my daughter was born bluish, she was diagnosed as having a major heart defect that was repaired 2 months later. When we asked the pediatric cardiologist @ UK, if it was likely that heart defects had caused the stillborn brother & sister than neither my Grandmother, nor my Mom & her sisters ever saw. He said it was "extremely likely". Drs never say anything's 100%. When my husband died of COVID-19 on 11-15-20 (& I almost did) people still said "it was probably COVID-19"... even with both of us testing positive.
it must have been blue baby syndrome or cyanosis, due to uneffective closing of foramen ovale; a passing present between our right and left atrium. During pregnancy, it is open but after normal deliveries, it is supposed to close and form fossa ovalis. However, in some cases, the foramen ovale doesnt close properly or not at all, and there becomes a gap between the right and left atrial chambers of the heart. Hence, the oxygenated blood from the left atria and deoxygenated blood from the right atria get mixed, resulting in lesser amounts of oxygen in the blood. As a result of lacking oxygen to the tissues, the tissues turn bluish in colour.
Holy heck, the way you taught this was with such sensitivity, especially in the end there where you were telling us all to thank our moms. Such a lovely person.
I don’t know how I got here but man... as someone who lost their daughter at 3 months... I’m breaking down in tears, while equally appreciating science.
So sorry for your loss. Please Father God give this lady strength, peace, and grace tenfold. For the rest of her life. And may Heaven smile upon her forevermore. 🕊🕊🕊
The process of pregnancy and birth is honestly terrifying. Respect to all the mothers out there. I'd never go through all that voluntarily. I don't think I could handle the pain, the changes the body is going through or the thought alone of having a developing human inside of me. Not to mention the responsibility of raising a child in a world like this.
It is wonderful blessing! A woman's body was created to do this. The most important thing I have ever done... every little pain brought me endless joy.
One of the coolest and weirdest exhibits I ever saw at OMSI (in Portland) was the stages of fetal development exhibit. They had forty fetuses, one for every week! I always wondered where they came from and how they preserved them so well.
More like the early '70s. The fetus was used to teach students for 40 years 8 years ago. So this child has been teaching for about 48 years. Almost as old as my parents!
He said the teacher had it over 30 years, then they've had it for 8 years. Which makes 38+ or 40+ years. So late 70's or very early 80's is possible. I know someone who survived beign born 30+ weeks and is now 41 yo.
It’s sad to see how this child never got to see the world, to feel love, to realize his dreams. Yet he saved countless of people and contributed more than most of us ever will in our lives.
its rather Amazing for him as he straight went to heaven .. I am a muslim and Its sad that He came in this world and immediately went back .. but thats what Allah Has written .. he is in heaven and He is living an eternal life their ... ❤️❤️ and please dont take it in a wrong way,I am very sad that it happened ...
OMG.!!!!!Imagine TH-cam suggesting me this video six days after my Hysterectomy.Thanks a lot for explaining so well about the reproductive female organs.I never knew the uterus was so tiny.Deep heartfelt thanks to all those who donate their bodies for scientific research.🙏
@@createdwithL0VE 😐 he even called it that in the video a baby can survive without a host cells cannot, it obviously never took a breath of air because its still in the fetal crouch🌈🧠🌈 brain its common sense
I seriously love the enthusiasm and positive attitude he gives off in these videos! I’m normally squeamish to matters like this, but putting it all into an educational context makes it all suddenly incredibly cool!!!
Poor little one and those who lost him. At least he's in Heaven now. Very kind parents to allow his body to be used for research. I'm grateful they're showing respect, too
@@nonamesally2530 No, that is incorrect. Children (those under the age of accountability), and those who are in a state of not being able to understand, will not be punished like that. Jesus was very clear that children are the most precious of mankind; so much so that He said that it's better for a person to have never been born than for them to cause a little one to sin. Water baptism also is not required for salvation; spiritual baptism is - and this is gained by believing in Jesus Christ and what He did for us on the cross. Water baptism is an outward expression of faith, and again, isn't required for salvation.
Wow 😮 As a woman who's had a total hysterectomy due to endometriosis it's amazing that something so little could cause so much pain and trouble. My huge respect to the woman that donated her fetus and to those whose bodies we get to learn from.
My son was born at 30 weeks, he was about 3 lbs. today, he is 16 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 180 lbs, and just made the State Championships for throwing in track and field competitions. It saddens me that this little Angel is similar to him, but never got to experience all of the joys of life. This little one is a reminder how fragile and precious life is 🙏♥️ RIP little dude
As a pregnant woman, this video is fascinating to me but also deeply saddening at the same time - poor baby, I hope his soul rests in peace. Also, looking at a grown woman's dead uterus/cadaver made me feel queasy. Real practical biology definitely isn't for the faint of heart but I'm glad that others are brave.
Thank you for being such a fantastic educator! I'm really into your videos since I found your channel. Love the sensitivity you addressed the fetus with.
Although this little guy passed away, he left a legacy that we can all learn and benefit from. This little guy has saved lives by educating health professionals.
Hard and heartbreaking to see this little baby who never had a chance at life, may the parents be in a good place with what their child has done for humanity. RIP Baby.
@@whiff7241 lmao i do- I might be a kid but I’m not little. And I know some channels get demonetized, speaking on the fact I have one of my own. I also study biology anatomy and astronomy too. So the fact you said shut up to me saying I don’t know anything Is indeed a understatement.
I’m always wondering what happened to those jar babies whenever I am at the museum in Chicago. So much mystery, sadness, and awe at creation/what could have been. Thanks for making this video.
Haha I'm 3 weeks behind in ASL and World History, and 1 week for everything else... And yet here I am, currently watching this video while taking a break from working on my driver's ed for my permit (instead of working on school...oops)
My wife is a high school science teacher, and biology is one of the subjects she teaches. She had "inherited" a fetus like this. She always treated it with respect, it was never just out for show, it was only brought out for biology class. She gave the kids the chance to leave the room before she would bring it out. Well, one day a student had talked about the experience with their parents (the kid wasn't upset at all, and I think an older sibling had already been through her class and had seen it with no issues). This one parent (apparently super religious pro-life) complained about it and demanded that she stop using the fetus in class. It became this big thing with the parent, principal, and super. Eventually, the fetus was removed from her classroom and put into storage in the district office. To the best of her knowledge, it's still there. So instead of being used to help educate kids, it now sits somewhere collecting dust. My wife offered to get in touch with the local Mother House to hand it over to the Sisters for burial or to get it back after that student had graduated. Still no idea what will happen with it (if anything). We call it baby-gate now. Edit: there were actually two of them, and both were documented as coming from a local university, donated to the school ages ago. The teachers took up a collection to have them cremated, as the school didn't want to lay for it since it would need to go to the board and be approved and show up on public minutes. The school also found that one of the skeletons they used was a real human skeleton from China acquired ages ago. That was also cremated.
Don’t know why she would be against showing it. Learning this type of stuff would actually confirm The Pro life position and helps everyone learn more about life before birth and defects.
@@humairakhalidah his o her soul has long gone to whatever awaits us after we die, it's just her/his body there. Is a shame that a pro life mixed all his beliefs, that body if it a fetus of certain amount of weeks wasn't aborted by choice, so what's wrong to use it to educate. I would love to hear the arguments of this parent to not use the fetus to educate
What a precious baby, he actually looks so sweet and peaceful lying there as if he’s still safe in his moms womb. However he died I hope it was gentle and he never knew anything but the warmth of his mothers body holding him every day of his little life. 😭
My baby was born 11/07/2020 at 33weeks, 2months early. He is now 10months and thriving and I want to say thank you to this beautiful baby boy and his family for saving my sons life😭🥺❤
People in the comments being like you could learn all of this from books... where do you think the authors got their information from without the help from cadavars like this one?
They're NOT thinking. It's like how some people genuinely don't understand where their food comes from; they think it just pops into existence at the store? These people think those books just pop into existence, too.
That cute lil body reminds me that my wife had miscarriage in 2019 and we're still trying to have one until now, hope God gives us the miracle this year 😇
When I took my first EMT class (BACK IN THE DARK AGES, 1974) we were doing our ER rotation and just happened that a young woman had a spontaneous abortion. The nurse came back to us and had the fetus (still in the sac) in an emesis basin. She asked it we wanted to see what was inside (and most of the other guys said Hell yes), so she tore open the sac and inside was a perfectly formed beautiful baby boy. The tough guys either left to puke or just passed out. She told us to look and see if we could determine why the fetus was aborted. Well, it was OBVIOUS the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and that caused him to die. I don't know if the parents ever wanted to view the baby, but it would be heart breaking as the boy was perfect in every way. I have seen a few more over the years as a medical tech in the Air Force. It was tough if the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck but seeing the OBVIOUSLY deformed fetus made it a LITTLE easier. But not much. BTW: I am PRO CHOICE. I have seen WAY TO MUCH horror, neglect, abuse and mistreatment of children whose parents SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PARENTS. So. please spare me the hate remarks.
I'm pro life but I completely understand where you stand. No hate, just enjoyed reading your comment. My second child abruptly stopped developing at all and at a sono her heart stopped beating completely. I had to unfortunately have an abortion due to my body not wanting miscarry naturally.. I now have two beautiful little girls but it is a very hard thing to see. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊 🙏
MrTommyboy68, thank you for your comment, I really did enjoy reading it. You know how you've stated that the baby died due to the obvious?! Well, that may not necessarily be all the time. My daughter's cord was wrapped around her neck as well and according to my parents, mine was wrapped around 2x. Thank God we both survived. Unfortunately for my bestfriend, her little girl wasn't wrapped around at all, at time of autopsy, it was determined that she had a 2 vessel cord. Typically, an umbilical cord has two arteries and one vein. From the outside, it looks perfectly normal.
@@maureen732 I suggest you start your nursing education as soon as you can. I chose to go a different direction with my education, Business Administration, instead of going in to nursing. I have regretted not going in that direction ever since then. As I am older I think about that a lot. I don't want you to have the regret I have that I have to live with.
It really freaking IS. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. What we have to GO through just to keep our mom's immune system from killing us after implantation is mind-blowing!
I delivered my youngest daughter with a gestational age of 29 weeks and 2 days. I had a placental hemorrhage which caused severe intrauterine growth restriction. She was measuring about the size of a 24-26 week fetus/baby at the time of delivery. She weighed 1lbs 8oz and was 12 inches long. She was fully intubated (machine breathing for her) for about 3 weeks. After that she was on a CPAP machine that gauged how much oxygen assistance she needed, if any, and adjusted its flow as needed. She was unable to take breast milk or formula for the first week as her intestines were not mature enough to digest the "food" or absorb any nutrients from anything consumed. She was on a special diet of amino acids, vitamins, minerals & fats. As her little body developed she was given a nasogastric tube to have her feeds put through which then graduated to a surgical g-tube. Because she had been intubated for so long she developed an "oral aversion" and couldn't take any feeds by mouth. She is now almost a year and a half and is incredibly happy & healthy albeit just a tiny little thing. She is a modern science miracle.

As a mom now, seeing this shattered me!! I always said i wanted to donate my body for science, but to be so selfless and donate your child. Is so beyond respectful.
I cried. The baby just looked so peaceful. However he died I hope it was peaceful and he never knew anything but the warmth and safety of his mothers body holding him every day of his little life. 💞
@@Musicfeinn what we know about fetal development from neonate studies says otherwise. They are born knowing the sound of their parents voice, their own native language, songs, smells (yes smells even though they don’t breathe in utero!) individual people, flavors, and more. They don’t know this by instinct but learn these things through their limited exposure to the world through contact while within their mums womb. It’s actually all rather fascinating.
It’s not “beyond” respectful. It’s like offering your deceased child’s organs to sb that needs them. It’s a part of life and studies from fetuses and embryos have given really important information to science about prenatal development.
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I am so shocked at how tiny the uterus is initially!! Also, how beautiful and amazing to have such a preserved baby. Blows my mind looking at him. X

My grandmother actually gave her foetus to sicence around 55 years ago. It was a boy and the gestational age was around 5 months. He was in a biology class in an high school for a long time. I don't know if he still is. The weird thing is that my grandmother had 11 kids alive, and they all went to that school and had biology class and study their brother's body...
Wow!
Wow, that's both incredible and sad! I can't imagine seeing my baby brother in a jar at school😯 and yet, how amazing to see him!
@@MrsBrit1 You're right it is incredible and sad at the same time. I think some of my cousins were also thought in that class.

Huge props to momma for donating her baby for science. A tragic loss, but this little guy is helping so many. Rest easy, angel!
I agree. It must be heartbreaking 💔 😢
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel so bad for the mom, imagine giving up your unborn child. But I hope she knows that, undoubtedly, she’s supporting and preventing millions from losing their lives.
I hate to be a downer, but she probably died before the baby was born and her remaining family was too poor to afford the modern funeral costs. I know I have my remains going to science when I die because I have no family and don't want anyone to have to dispose of me when I die.
@@simplicity4766 well the ones who want to do abortion r doing it for a reason no need to bring them down
To the people that donate their babies to science after they pass: You are incredibly brave and you are helping so many people.
They are very strong. I couldn't do it and certainly not for 40 years. I could MAYBE see myself doing it for a little while but then want him back to put him to rest. They made a huge personal and emotional sacrifice for the betterment of science/humanity.
@@ashleysmith1369 I completely understand that decision. It’s a very hard and individual choice and I’ll never judge a parent for the decision they choose to make. I believe that you don’t have to donate your baby’s entire body if you want to help but also want to lay them to rest. For example, organs. Like I said, it’s a very hard and individual choice and I can completely understand the reasons behind all of them.
I personally wouldn't call it brave but I do admire people who donate their bodies after death. I too am going to do the same, I wish to die at a relatively young age so that my organs can be used to save other people.

I thought the same thing!
Absolutely wild
Holy cow. This might be from my high school. The timeline in the story matches, the sex and rough age of the fetus, even the jar and the little fabric cover. I remember our teacher pulling this out to show us once. If it is, I am glad he found a good home where he can continue to educate with the respect he deserves. Edit: I just googled where they are based, and they are not far from where I went to high school. It is totally the same fetus.

My mom has donated my older sister when she passed in the womb at about 18 weeks (4-5 months). My mom said it was incredibly difficult to see her in the jar but never regrets donating her body. She was studied to help doctors understand what may have gone wrong during her development and hopefully help find a way to save more growing babies in the future
How beautiful. I’m sure it helped they can give you suppositories now to help hold the baby in .. medications to keep your cervix closed all sorts of things .. im sure it really helped ❤️🖤❤️ baby’s life was not in vain

Exactly
True. Time has “stopped” for him. But, in terms of age, he is indeed older
He is about my age or maybe a tad older! I’m 41 now so maybe it was around the time I was born. Hard to believe how old this fetus is. Got to wonder what he might have become if he lived. But also amazing to think about all the people and future doctors he taught!

It's so amazing how developed we are when we're only half way cooked. Great video. Thanks for sharing him with us.
In the last trimester, babies just GROW and gain weight. Thats about what they do.

@@southparkpsycho3275 thanks for the info!
I'm due in a few weeks and I had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks, and I assumed the baby wouldn't look like much of anything at that point, but she was already starting to look distinctly like a baby! We could clearly see the profile of her face, her round tummy, and beginnings of arms & legs, I was really surprised!
@@southparkpsycho3275 Exactly. My first baby was a 36 week baby. She was a month early, and thank God she was! She was 10 lbs. and 20" long. They told me if she would have been full term, she would be 13-14 lbs. at birth! To compare, I gave blood for a friend of mine when I was pregnant and didn't know it yet. Her baby was born at 26 weeks only 1 lb. 14 oz. and he needed a transfusion, but it had to be from an adult that did not have the RSV virus. Most adults have had it, but I had not, so they used my blood for him. Comparing them, he was 9 months old when my daughter was born. He was still only 9 lbs., and she was 10.
Having just watched this video, I feel that I need to tell you my story. I was born 50yrs ago. My mother went into early labour when she was 32 weeks pregnant, and she and my father were duly afraid as the doctor had been concerned that he could hear only one heartbeat but feel two heads.
My mum gave birth to me, I was 8weeks and 2days early. My birth was traumatic, but more was to follow. A few minutes after me my twin was delivered stillborn. He was my brother and it was estimated that he had died at around 26weeks and was perfect. The story goes that the midwife and doctor who attended our birth asked our parents if they would be willing to donate my brother to our local university. Which they did. Until now I have been unable to picture my brother. It's unlikely that you have him there with you, but maybe he had a twin who misses him just as much as I miss mine. Thank you.
😳
That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your love for your brother. 🥺

Estelle Schneider I’m a Christian, and pro-life. It’s horrible what happens to fetuses in abortions and I can’t support it. But this life lost can be used to save countless more in the future. Tragedy can be used to create something amazing. It doesn’t mean that we want tragedy to happen, but that we take a horrible situation and turn it around. In order to save us from our sins, Jesus went through some terrible things. Judas’ betrayal, for example, was a horrible thing, yet Jesus’ arrest was used to bring Him glory and salvation for us. Horrible things happen, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from it to make sure things like that don’t happen again. This fetus has probably saved many lives, and there’s nothing to prove that it’s connected to abortion or Roe v Wade.
I understand where you are coming from, life is precious and God wants us to protect it. I firmly believe that. But learning from loves lost is not disregarding God’s creation, if anything, it is respecting it. Yes, there have been many abuses of science and human study, but this is not one of those cases. By learning about the human body, regardless of the stage of life, can help save many more lives. Isn’t this honoring God far more? We aren’t killing babies for the purpose of study (even if the bodies are later used, it isn’t the same as intentionally killing for that reason), just using what already happened. If I die of something we don’t understand, I would want my body to be studied so we can prevent or help others in the same situation. I truly believe this honors God’s heart.
It is sick and horrible that many don’t respect life in the womb, but the people studying this fetus’ body are learning about it so they can save more fetuses, so they can grow and live a full life. I think we can both agree that saving lives is a wonderful thing. I would love to hear your thoughts. God bless :)
I commend you calling it a baby, so many balless people would go "achtually the fetus is not a human, a clump of cells scientifically technically theoretically factually actually." What ever helps those people sleep at night or greenlight their future poor choices and refusal to take responsibility.

When you have a child, it just feels different to see a fetus in a jar like that. Watching this with a very heavy heart while appreciating science and how it has helped humanity. Rest easy, little one.
I completely agree :( I have a 1 year old
Yes, specially when you've lost one at 32 weeks gestation without a known reason..... beyond painful 😖😣
@@gabriella6210 I’m so sorry for your loss
This is what I was thinking. I have an 8 month old and stuff like this never used to bothwr me, in fact I wanted to make a career out of it, but now even just seeing a child that's a little to cute makes me tear up.
That's right, I have two kids and carrying one 21 weeks.. it's so weird I feel like crying!
I noticed that a lot of comments have serious objections to calling the baby a fetus. Fetus is the correct medical term for a baby of that gestational age. Before that, it is an embryo. After that (when it is born), it is a neonate. Just like a leg bone is a femur. It isn't an insult to the leg to call the bone a femur; neither is it an insult to the unborn child to call it a fetus.
Thats bc a lot of people use that term to dehumanize the baby
Fetus or Feotus is latin for offspring
Acceptible, but still seems strange to me. Our son was born 7.5 weeks early (he's 22 and 1.82m tall now), so at that moment he'd be a neonate (Matthew is the name, thank you) and a few minutes earlier a fetus. I like this channel, and perhaps this episode best, but he's always been Matthew (or Mary-Anne, since we didn't know the gender before birth) to me. Hi Matthew, here's looking up to you son!
The "term" has taken on a different meaning..just like"gay" is nolonger just happy.
good to know
My baby was born last year in week 27+6 and we spent 3 months at the hospital. He got 2 brain bleeds grade 2, lung bleeds, he was on vent for 1 weeks and then over to CPAP and then optiflow. He also had other problems which he has overcomed, thanks to science and his strength. They didn't know if he would survive the first weeks. Today 16 months later he's thriving, he already has taken his first steps, super active and doesn't have any problem! It was hard seeing this fetus (and baby) but I also understand it's necessary to learn more and help others ❤️

Were you by chance born at Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas? My son was a premmie born there in July of 1983. He was born at 26 weeks and spent 5 weeks in the hospital. There was a baby girl that was born there near or on the same day that weighed 1pound and 11 ounces. She really struggled and fought to live and I've always wondered what happened with her and if she had survived.
My brother and I was a premie baby also my brother at one pound and me little less than a pound born at 6 months. Both needed blood transfusion and stayed in the hospital for 6 months. God is good !!
My daughter too was a premmie. She is 4 now. I thank God for the miracle. Born at 27 weeks. Weighed 1kg....dropped to 900g. She is okay now, very healthy.
My cousin was a preemie. She was born in February but was supposed to be born in June. My mom always recalls going to visit her in the ICU & says she was the size of her palm. My cousin is 26 now.

This is a person that never got to experience even a single day in this world, but has educated thousands over the course of decades. Remarkable.
That baby is so beautiful!! Can’t imagine what the parents went through when he passed. Lots of Respect to those parents who donated their beautiful child 🥺
There are a lot of reasons it could be. I lost a healthy, beautiful boy about this child's gestation 22 years ago. I just . . . lost him. The cervix opened and out he came. A year later, I had some imaging done of my uterus and it was totally partitioned into 2 cavities, and it was then we knew why our boy died--he had just run out of room. Surgery that cut the partition (septum) in two allowed me to give birth at term, and that baby is now 19.

Those of you in the comments with personal stories of family members donating to science, we thank you. As a physician who still very clearly remembers anatomy class in medical school, it is truly a privilege and meaningful experience to learn from donations.

Bless all of your kind hearts; we are forever grateful.
My Mom's Mom had a blue "stillborn" baby 2x in the 50's. The Drs told my Grandfather that the babies, both times, were beautiful, 10 pound babies, born with their hearts beating, but the Dr or nobody could get them to take a breath. Decades later, when my daughter was born bluish, she was diagnosed as having a major heart defect that was repaired 2 months later. When we asked the pediatric cardiologist @ UK, if it was likely that heart defects had caused the stillborn brother & sister than neither my Grandmother, nor my Mom & her sisters ever saw. He said it was "extremely likely". Drs never say anything's 100%. When my husband died of COVID-19 on 11-15-20 (& I almost did) people still said "it was probably COVID-19"... even with both of us testing positive.
What did the cardiologist say?
it must have been blue baby syndrome or cyanosis, due to uneffective closing of foramen ovale; a passing present between our right and left atrium. During pregnancy, it is open but after normal deliveries, it is supposed to close and form fossa ovalis. However, in some cases, the foramen ovale doesnt close properly or not at all, and there becomes a gap between the right and left atrial chambers of the heart. Hence, the oxygenated blood from the left atria and deoxygenated blood from the right atria get mixed, resulting in lesser amounts of oxygen in the blood. As a result of lacking oxygen to the tissues, the tissues turn bluish in colour.
That's interesting, that's how I was born as well, but my mom's midwife was able to get me to breathe. I do get occasional heart palpitations.
Holy heck, the way you taught this was with such sensitivity, especially in the end there where you were telling us all to thank our moms. Such a lovely person.

One of the coolest and weirdest exhibits I ever saw at OMSI (in Portland) was the stages of fetal development exhibit. They had forty fetuses, one for every week! I always wondered where they came from and how they preserved them so well.
To put the fetus' actual age into perspective, he would have possibly been born in the early 80's.
Yes
Could have been an early stillbirth...😢
@@immaggiethesenilegoldenret7918 I imagine that's what happened because his amniotic sac and placenta are still intact.
More like the early '70s. The fetus was used to teach students for 40 years 8 years ago. So this child has been teaching for about 48 years. Almost as old as my parents!
He said the teacher had it over 30 years, then they've had it for 8 years. Which makes 38+ or 40+ years. So late 70's or very early 80's is possible.
I know someone who survived beign born 30+ weeks and is now 41 yo.

Water baptism also is not required for salvation; spiritual baptism is - and this is gained by believing in Jesus Christ and what He did for us on the cross. Water baptism is an outward expression of faith, and again, isn't required for salvation.

@@ashtonrobertsss surprisingly well actually XD
My wife is a high school science teacher, and biology is one of the subjects she teaches. She had "inherited" a fetus like this. She always treated it with respect, it was never just out for show, it was only brought out for biology class. She gave the kids the chance to leave the room before she would bring it out. Well, one day a student had talked about the experience with their parents (the kid wasn't upset at all, and I think an older sibling had already been through her class and had seen it with no issues). This one parent (apparently super religious pro-life) complained about it and demanded that she stop using the fetus in class. It became this big thing with the parent, principal, and super. Eventually, the fetus was removed from her classroom and put into storage in the district office. To the best of her knowledge, it's still there. So instead of being used to help educate kids, it now sits somewhere collecting dust. My wife offered to get in touch with the local Mother House to hand it over to the Sisters for burial or to get it back after that student had graduated. Still no idea what will happen with it (if anything). We call it baby-gate now.
Edit: there were actually two of them, and both were documented as coming from a local university, donated to the school ages ago. The teachers took up a collection to have them cremated, as the school didn't want to lay for it since it would need to go to the board and be approved and show up on public minutes.
The school also found that one of the skeletons they used was a real human skeleton from China acquired ages ago. That was also cremated.
I hope your wife gets in touch ❤️❤️❤️ thats horrible sitting in dust

My daughter was born at 24 weeks gestation. She is now nearly 2 years old and thriving.
When I took my first EMT class (BACK IN THE DARK AGES, 1974) we were doing our ER rotation and just happened that a young woman had a spontaneous abortion. The nurse came back to us and had the fetus (still in the sac) in an emesis basin. She asked it we wanted to see what was inside (and most of the other guys said Hell yes), so she tore open the sac and inside was a perfectly formed beautiful baby boy. The tough guys either left to puke or just passed out. She told us to look and see if we could determine why the fetus was aborted. Well, it was OBVIOUS the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and that caused him to die. I don't know if the parents ever wanted to view the baby, but it would be heart breaking as the boy was perfect in every way. I have seen a few more over the years as a medical tech in the Air Force. It was tough if the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck but seeing the OBVIOUSLY deformed fetus made it a LITTLE easier. But not much.
BTW: I am PRO CHOICE. I have seen WAY TO MUCH horror, neglect, abuse and mistreatment of children whose parents SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PARENTS. So. please spare me the hate remarks.

MrTommyboy68, thank you for your comment, I really did enjoy reading it. You know how you've stated that the baby died due to the obvious?! Well, that may not necessarily be all the time. My daughter's cord was wrapped around her neck as well and according to my parents, mine was wrapped around 2x. Thank God we both survived. Unfortunately for my bestfriend, her little girl wasn't wrapped around at all, at time of autopsy, it was determined that she had a 2 vessel cord. Typically, an umbilical cord has two arteries and one vein. From the outside, it looks perfectly normal.

@@mzflighter6905 search ectopic pregnancy and you'll see what my comment really means.
I delivered my youngest daughter with a gestational age of 29 weeks and 2 days. I had a placental hemorrhage which caused severe intrauterine growth restriction. She was measuring about the size of a 24-26 week fetus/baby at the time of delivery. She weighed 1lbs 8oz and was 12 inches long. She was fully intubated (machine breathing for her) for about 3 weeks. After that she was on a CPAP machine that gauged how much oxygen assistance she needed, if any, and adjusted its flow as needed. She was unable to take breast milk or formula for the first week as her intestines were not mature enough to digest the "food" or absorb any nutrients from anything consumed. She was on a special diet of amino acids, vitamins, minerals & fats. As her little body developed she was given a nasogastric tube to have her feeds put through which then graduated to a surgical g-tube. Because she had been intubated for so long she developed an "oral aversion" and couldn't take any feeds by mouth.
She is now almost a year and a half and is incredibly happy & healthy albeit just a tiny little thing.
She is a modern science miracle.

As a mom of 2... This is super interesting to see. I never realized how small a uterus starts out
I was born at 24 wks gestation and weighed 2lbs in 1966. I was immediately baptised and my mother was told not to expect me to live. I’m a 55 year old mother of three and have always felt blessed that I survived during those times. Bless that foetus/baby and the selflessness of his family to donate. 🇮🇪❤️🍀
Wow, to think that nowadays babies at 23 weeks are getting murdered... One more month and they'd have a shot at life outside the womb, too

As a mom now, seeing this shattered me!! I always said i wanted to donate my body for science, but to be so selfless and donate your child. Is so beyond respectful.
I cried. The baby just looked so peaceful. However he died I hope it was peaceful and he never knew anything but the warmth and safety of his mothers body holding him every day of his little life. 💞
@@inlonging Lady the Baby didnt know anything
@@Musicfeinn what we know about fetal development from neonate studies says otherwise. They are born knowing the sound of their parents voice, their own native language, songs, smells (yes smells even though they don’t breathe in utero!) individual people, flavors, and more. They don’t know this by instinct but learn these things through their limited exposure to the world through contact while within their mums womb. It’s actually all rather fascinating.
It’s not “beyond” respectful. It’s like offering your deceased child’s organs to sb that needs them. It’s a part of life and studies from fetuses and embryos have given really important information to science about prenatal development.
Right

THIS GUY IS SO CUTE HELP
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I am so shocked at how tiny the uterus is initially!! Also, how beautiful and amazing to have such a preserved baby. Blows my mind looking at him. X
