Born in 1748, Jeremy Bentham was a 19th-century English philosopher, economist, and social reformer. Bentham had interesting ideas about mortality and mourning, which shaped how he wanted his remains handled after his passing. By Bentham's request, his preserved body was on public display and used for instruction. Bentham adopted and followed a practical life philosophy - he aimed for usefulness even in the afterlife. The reality of what happened to his body after he passed in 1832, however, wasn't quite what he intended. Bentham's remains, especially his head, took on a fascinating, if not horrifying, transformation

Ive been a plus 1 at a lot of different events: weddings, engagements, charity receptions, retirements, christenings. Never have I ever been asked to be someones guest at an autopsy. Granted, Ive attended quite a few and met with more medical examiners than I expected before I chose a career practicing law (I was a prosecutor for 12 years and eventually became a judge) but none of those visits were social occasions. I certainly wouldnt have mistaken them as festive or worn open toed shoes and a cocktail dress thats for sure. But it wouldve been a great way to make sure I never had a second date without hurting someones feelings, in the uh, this girl wanted me to watch a dead, naked dude get cut open in front of us, on our first date. She seems kinda jazzed about it too. I think the hot/crazy scale is too far in the crazy zone kind of way.

When I die I would like a large expensive elaborate tomb as an ancient queen would have had.
But instead of my body I want a shark in my grave.
The main inscription shall read.
Here lies >insert name< She swim real good but she bite to
PS The shark must be one that died naturally I don't want to kill an animal for a simple gag.
As for my real body.
Well I'll be dead I don't care.
Throw it to the wolves so that I can be useful to nature I suppose.
: D

My autistic ass sitting here listening to the proposal of his DNA being tested for autism because he was eccentric, reclusive and difficult to get hold of and critical of organised religion as an instrument of intimidation, corruption and illusion can definitively confirm every single one of those things is oft said about me so they may be onto something there lol

I mentioned cremation an my family had seizures! They are very religious but if you look at the future, it will be mandatory for people to be cremated cause they're already running out of room in the graveyards. I'm not going to mention to them how many graveyards have buildings an parking lots, roads, etc an we're talking up to 100 or more years old!

I hope this doesnt get lost in the sea of comments. I love your videos so much! Im sorry if this is a bit too weird of a topic.
How did humans develop our facial expressions? Or how did humans assign what our facial expressions mean?
I dont know if thats too much of an obscure subject

Wait, if Bentham's results come back positive for autism. who's gonna tell the anti vaxx community? They'll never believe that autism existed _long before_ vaccines were invented. Ah, sweet, sweet education, the beautiful murderer of misinformation.

I can't watch this anymore, after a couple minutes! This is just plain disturbing! He had to be crazy, to think of something like this! Also, the images are gross! I clicked on this because, I was curious about the title. But, now I regret it.
reply

I want to be cremated. Then pick my ashes up from where ever they send me to. Then take me home. Then people, I want you all to party until you pass out on the floor. Be happy for me because, I wont have anymore worries.

You meant both 18th and 19th Century? Jeremy Bentham would probably 54 years old in 1801.

Natural burial would be nice, Id want chicken wire around my body though because I want my body to decay mostly naturally and not have my remains spread over dozens of miles by coyotes or scavengers
reply

When I die bury me deep, place two speakers by my feet, put some earphones on my head, rock and roll me when I'm dead.
Give me a sheet, turn up the heat, pack me in a box nice and neat!

reply

Well, for my final request:
I want to be cremated. Have my ashes put into a bowl of chili that my girlfriend would consume, which would allow me to tear that ass up one last time.

reply

I am religious, but if my body is treated like this after death, I don't really care. I'm not using it. Baked, boiled, buried, stir-fried, etc - it doesn't matter to me.
reply

Omg. Could you imagine if this HAD caught on! The amount of dead people museums would probably out number schools, libraries, hospitals, and stadiums.
reply

After donating some body parts, I plan to be cremated. No ceremony, no obituary.
I came into the world without fanfare and will leave the same way.

reply

Im an atheist too but stealing a mans dead head and playing with it as a football or the display of bunch Maori heads are incredibly disrespectful.
reply

I love the end where the person this the white gloves bonks the fragile irreplaceable face with the dome.
Dude you were HIRED to be careful!

Bethame ghost is said to bowl his head down the halls in the university where his auto-icon is kept at night. No, really.
