The Most Radioactive Man in History - Hisashi Ouchi

Why am i not surprised

Sad. KRplus continues to limit freedom of educational and scientific speech like a bunch of crackpots.

​@@namm0x326 the images were not pleasant to say the least tho

even though they are not the most enjoyable thing to see its still important to know the story of what happened

It's frustrating to see a pay wall put up on something that was free until KRplus's incompetence struck :(

That's pretty much correct really

@@PeakedInterest what happened to the two others? Did they survive?

@@naija6106 no

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 isn't 5000 the lethal dose, so the one who was at the desk was injured and probably not killed

@@naija6106 one of them did, the other one did not.

Yes, like... like this radiation dose would give him a chance to live into the timespan (years to decades after) when leukemias and cancers as a consequence become relevant. He had acute radiation syndrome of one of the worst kinds. Certainly that of most Hiroshima victims in the months after was less severe, those who suffered only ARS but no burns were not stripped of the external layers of their skin. And the origami cranes technique... not so much has changed since the days of Sadako Sasaki.

You know it’s bad when leukemia sounds way better than the pain he endured..

@@DeandreMora It's not just the pain, it's also the fear of almost certainly dying which makes leukemia (and possibly dying) sound good

it kinda indicates that he had no business doing what he was doing in the first place having no basic knowledge of it

@@DeandreMora to be fair most people live normal lives before leukemia can get them. That’s how long cancer takes to kill you lol. People can have cancer right now and never know and live relatively normal live s

I would have put a bullet in my mouth if I knew I received a deadly dose of radiation. Take myself out before hell starts

He experienced hell here

literally

Death is our way closer to immortality.

300th like

And in the autopsy the only organ in his entire body that had almost zero damage was his heart. It was considered a miracle and scientists still don’t really know why his heart was nearly undamaged even after so much radiation.

Well I heard it’s only an equivalent of X- chest ray so…

@@MeMyselfandIKay tell your neighbor that’s high up on coke that

@@MeMyselfandIKay oh… well then ask me if 120 is a extremely high heart rate

@@MeMyselfandIKay its high for a normal healthy adult not a critically injured person undergoing massive anxiety and stress responses. A healthy adult with a minor anxiety attack can hit 120 BPM easily.

Yeah, suicide is generally considered irrational but I definitely think it’s justified in some cases. Alzheimer’s, incurable and painful diseases, sometimes one must give up and see it’s simply better to end ones suffering

“My chromosomes are spaghetti” is now the only reasonable explanation for suicide

Seriously. When the alternative is a painful horrendous expiration. Suicide is a more than rational course of action.

Technically, chromosomes are wound up dna. It’s being held together by itty bitty hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are actually quite weak compared to other types of bonds. So it makes sense that they’d be the first to go. But that unravelling would cause space issues in the cell (for obvious reasons), so I cannot imagine the pain of every cell literally swelling, bursting, exploding. Coupled with the inability to have that dna fixed, or copied in an effort to heal, his body was literally EXPLODING. That is a pain I don’t even know how to fathom. May he finally find peace.

@@cassie6418 chromosome contain your DNA
If your chromosomes are destroyed. Then your body cannot do anything.
Remember that saying “every 7 years your body is entirely replaced with new cells?”
Well if your body can’t replace cells, and uH they die often. You’re going to decompose. Just like what happened.

@@tylerhartley5031…. “So”? So, what?
What are you on about? Are you saying the radiation he was exposed to is equal to that of an x ray? Huh? Are you delusional? Did you watch the video ?

​@@KidsWithGuns1992I think he's trolling. Don't feed the trolls.

@@KidsWithGuns1992 It's a meme from the Chernobyl miniseries. The character Boris Shcherbina initially characterizes the ambient radiation around Chernobyl as being the equivalent of a chest X-ray. Legasov quickly corrects him, stating that it's the equivalent of 400 X-rays.
Chernobyl was very fertile ground for dark 'downplaying the dangers of radiation' jokes; if you hear someone talking about 3.6 roentgen (especially if they call it 'not great, not terrible'), characterizing graphite as burnt concrete, or making a reference to Anatoly Dyatlov, they're talking about the show.

Cancer is a far better faith than that horrendous death

If anything, his family and doctors were desperate to keep him alive

Yes there was because they were informed and knew better, they tortured that man to death and there is no way around it

​​@@powerkingez9682The family was informed that there was hope, a chance that he could recover, So of course they held on to that hope. Please, Stop trying to demonize a wife and son who just wanted their husband and father to get well. You were not there, So you can't understand what they were going through at that time.

@@alphonsejohnson5601 they knew there was no hope hello every one knew even the doctor was hinting at it that he definetly did not like it in the end, how coud anyone support or understand this is beyond me, the dudes insides litterly ran out he's own ass because he's dna was melting, there is a clear line we do not cross in cases like this and this one shoud have been over after 2 weeks bot 3 months

I dont think he could say anything at that point because of the skin deceasing the vocal chords would've been damages so he couldn't speak anymore

I think his last words were telling his wife he loved her. This was because it was getting too difficult to breathe, and doctors had to insert a breathing tool. It's likely as his condition worsened, he lost his senses, and I doubt doctors would take the risk of taking the breathing tube out.

​@@legit4052 I doubt that, this isn't a fairy tail. lmao it's so cliche

Acute radiation poisoning

@@kiratwo4uI’m pretty sure he actually did tell his wife he loved her as his last words

No? When the doctors finally broke the news that they thought it would be best to let him go after his heart stopped for the final time, the family completely understood.

Everyone had hope he’d survive, but after the heart failed and after the 80th day they all agreed if the heart stopped again they wouldn’t try to resuscitate him and he would perish.

I think it is time that we as a society had the discussion about right to die

He actually begged the scientists to kill him since the beginning but they wanted to study his body so they kept him alive

He actually begged the scientists to kill him since the beginning but they wanted to study his body so they kept him alive

@Alvaro Escobedo that's 100% false. He never begged to die and they did not "keep him alive" to experiment on him. That's a false narrative that I debunked in this video

He was resuscitated 4 times by doctors and it’s said that he told doctors was not a Guinea pig and leave him alone. It took a do not resuscitate order for that man to achieve peace in death. So disgusting to let someone suffer like that.......even in the name of science.

You don't feel anything when you're unconscious, his brain went to sleep and was ready to just die

True. May he and everyone who suffered such painful, undeserved deaths such as his colleague, Masato Shinohara, rest in peace forever.

Agreed

Misconception my ass. That's exactly what they did. Or should I trust your opinion over my lying eyes? You should get your brain checked if you think this was the right thing to do.

Apparently the doctor wanted to give up sooner, but the family was insistent

This same thing happened to me but I absorbed 30 sieverts. I was fine a day later. Turns out that if you have a boner at the time of exposure, the radiation doesn't hurt as much.

@@xChijouChanx the doctor wanted to give up immediately, that’s the whole reason he let them see him every day.
He wanted them to see he that he was unsaveable, but they didn’t want to give up

They didn't have a clue about the job. Using uneducated people to do their dirty work.

Most of the time, in situations like this, it's the companies faulty procedures that causes these terrible accidents. Incompetent workers and the people that make the rules and procedures are mainly the reason to blame on. That's why you recruit experienced workers.

I recommend you bother to be empathetic and not consider anyone who changes their opinion when they educate themselves "disgusting".

@DeludedDesktopAlien That's awful. I'm sorry.

There's a lot of very unfair criticism and lies about the staff, hospital and family. Congrats you just became the pinned comment

@@PeakedInterest Wow, thank you! First time I got my comment pinned.
Yeah the hospital staff and family don't deserve such harsh criticism, they definitely feel awful about the whole situation already.
The only ones who deserve it is the company and I really hope they did face justice.

Thanks for popping up to join the discussion. Its always nice to meet new people.
I tend to pick a viewer comment to be the pinned comment because it feels a bit egotistical to pin my own now lol

The family, the hospital AND Ouichi himself had good intentions. But those good intentions were sadly ill-founded. Nobody was at fault for the terrible 83 days. NOBODY.

@@2tjanthony the Company was definitely at fault, it's greed and ignorance for human life killed him

The loss of 2 lives actually, there were two other people involved, and only one out them including hisashi ouchi survived

Its very difficult to judge those involved without being in their position. Most of us would sacrifice almost anything for those we love

@@PeakedInterest Exactly! That's why I said they had unrealistic hope because they were simply blinded by their love for him, they didn't want to let him go and that is a very normal reaction. And yeah you are correct we would all sacrifice almost all for those we love.

@@PeakedInterest Absolutely!

im purposefuly not gonna say french words right because no

If you research more about this case, it was his family who insisted with the treatment against doctors advise. Thats why the head doctor made the family see him everyday so they understand and let him go. Infact his wife wanted him to be alive to live until January 1 2000 so he experiences the new century... Im not kidding.

@@arigatosev3n880 She said that AFTER agreeing to let him die, why are you trying to paint her and the family as evil and inhumane? And for context she says that during 20th December and most likely just asking her husband to hold on for a bit longer. His family were also being told that the treatment produces positive effects and the doctors themself was very optimistic that he could recover, the fact of the matter is that most of the treatment were experimental and noone could predicted what would happen but at some time it seems like it was going well.

Thank you for taking the time to watch

While it is, humans are actually incredibly resistant to radiation (in doses of course). Every day, both you and me are exposed to it, and it just peels off us.

@MrSkillns our bodies have become resistant to background radiation, most of our internal organs remain radiosensitive to anything above it, though there is a safe limit.

@@MrSkillns we can survive little minuscule packets of ionizing radiation here and there, But its as if a solid Wall of ionizing radiation just ran right through ouchi, tearing apart every tiny structure that made up his body.

^^ What Peaked said. This is why X-ray is possible without killing you, yet pregnant women can't get x-rayed because of the chance of the baby dying.

@@PeakedInterest It’s actually why people suffering from radiation poisoning experience stomach issues, most commonly known, vomiting.

They just made him suffer

@@poopy_head9745 I agree fully. There was no saving him. If it were me I'd ask to be euthanized.

@Koshi Kun Would you like to die after suffering, getting medicines and blood transfusions, seeing your doctor come into your room without a single good news and staying in a hospital everyday? Or would you like to die camly, after saying your goodbyes and not making anyone get their hopes up and suffer more?
That's why in this case, keeping him alive was selfish and just living in hell for him

@Koshi Kun ya, at some point, but they didn't stop when the cells transplant didn't work and the guy started bleeding his life out of his intestines OR when the guy himslef asked them to stop because it was too painful, its the family fault too but i can understand not wanting to let go

But if u find later that there was even .001% of chance of their survival you would curse the doctors... Despite giving their best efforts they could.

@@shineon7641 i do agree that Ouchi died inside long before they decided to pull the plug. Though i meant "alive" in a medical way, as in kept his heart beating

@@transmogrifying His body was dead, however his brain wasn't and his heart was still beating

This very scene here occurs in ICU's across the country on a daily basis. Plenty of terminal and suffering people are kept alive longer than necessary because family are hopelessly optimistic.

@@shineon7641 No?

@@shineon7641 And then you have the other side of the story where my 90 year old grandfather was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with cancer and died within a day.
And my family were seriously questioning whether he could have died THAT quickly and many relatives including my father didn't get an opportunity to visit him.
So the family suspects they just considered him old and unsaveable and didn't bother putting in an effort to keep him alive.

That was one of the worst aspects for me too

I cant imagine it for that long. I watched a patient die from an extra rare version of SJS which is a very rare allergic reaction that causes the skin and mucus membranes to slough off. I had nightmares for weeks. I cant imagine the degree of trauma watching that for 83 days when just 3 days has it stuck behind my eyelids for the rest of my life.

Came in one evening I knew she had little time left. Gave her morphine and stayed at bedside till shs died. CNAs helped me clean her, get her face as "normal" as we could. Drag a blanket to her chin and lay her flat to close her jaw so family couldn't see her ulcer riddled mouth. Carefully told them not to pull thr blankets down.

It will haunt me forever like I am sure sir Ouchi shall haunt the staff forever

Suffering is worst of the worst.

Agree what Ouchi went through is far far worse. it's worse than if somehow leukemia had started all throughout his body and making metastasis.

@@mhmhm5337 that's what they said. they said they probably felt bad BECAUSE of the false narrative of conducting experiments.

@@thegoods7011 I read an article debunking the claim.
They have all of the medical records. And there is literally not a time period in all of the medical records where they could have fit in a secret experiment. The only time they could have done so would have been with his dead body.

Yea medical staff have to have the mindset of a steel beam. They really should be given more time off to take care of themselves mentally. I've heard the stories of medical staff during the heavy covid season. It's something people don't talk about and didn't even know about precovid. It's about time everyone knows what they go through.

Thank you, I tried to treat him respectfully whilst also capturing the horror of his situation to generate some empathy for him and the people involved. Its a very difficult balance to strike

I mean.. Ouchi was begging to be euthanized bc of the pain he was in. At some point you should make the ethical decision to let him die

@@Bettersucksaul its illegal for them not to keep him alive if there’s no DNR, as stated in the video. it’s sad he had to suffer but they had to respect the family’s wishes :(

@@Bettersucksaul Theres a video of a man who got pinned in between a subway train and the platform. Everything below his torso was mush, and the only thing keeping him alive was the pressure from the subway train stopping his insides from literally spilling out of his waist.

This was a very similar situation. The doctors had no choice but to try to save his life, despite it being, at that stage, literally impossible, and by law there was nothing they could do about it. Its unfortunate, but that's the law for you.

Any biologist who understands the central dogma would know that the COVID vaccine being an mRNA vaccine only takes advantage of the translational machinery of the cell, hence taking place exclusively in the cytoplasm. mRNA does not enter the nucleus where your DNA is located so there would be no possibility of "gene therapy" or any interaction with your DNA

In its purest form,being a doctor means never giving up on the patient no matter how grim the diagnosis Is.
I cannot fathom getting up in the morning and getting ready to go to work on a patient as completely fatally sick as this man was.
The doctors and nurses paid for it with the lifetime memory of the sights sounds smells and touch sensations of a human biologically melting over several months from radiation exposure.
If I could tell my relatives one thing in this case is please find a way to end my life before I get as bad as he got.
Death came to him as a savior.
His body was destroyed long before he actually died.
Just awful.

They couldn't give up until the family signed a DNR. They had to keep him alive and treat him by any means necessary.
What we have learned from this is that we can't repair or replace broken DNA from stem cell transplants or skin grafts. It would have been a revolutionary breakthrough had it worked but... no

@@Clbull118 Well it worked. The stem cells were successfully replaced but the radiation his body absorbed caused them to mutate. By the time they tried skin grafts which do work his body was too far gone for them to adhere. They probably would've worked if there was a way to remove the radiation, but sadly there wasn't, and there still isn't a complete cure to radiation exposure to this day.

This is a discussion of ethics on an impossible scale, on one hand the doctors creed is to NEVER give up on the life of a patient but imo there are always limits, and those doctors KNEW without a doubt very early on he had no chance of survival, they KNEW he was going to die an excruciatingly horrible death, but CHOSE to keep him alive, to study those effects.
Imo thats inexcusable for ANY reason, if its beyond a doubt that he was going to die a horrible death, he should have been let go, when we was begging for death, he should have been let go, there is in my mind, no excuse that can be used that would convince me it wasn’t possibly the most horrible thing a doctor could do to someone.
Again this is my opinion.

That's because his medical records remained sealed. There's little info regarding him. Ouchis wife unsealed his records in the hope they might help people understand radiation and develop treatments for it in future so generally speaking there's far more information available

I want to know what happened to the guy who was at the desk sir.

As science progresses, so too does the possibilities. Whether or not the Futurama notion of head in a jar is one we would want to see does not preclude the fact that saving a brain as a copy or stand alone entity is almost guaranteed to be a research subject out there in the world. Were it available, it sounds like Ouchi could've been a viable candidate for such technology.
The ethical implications of what such technology enables is one of a different matter for other discussions.

In NYC there was this procedure whenever anyone fell into the tracks. Sometimes people survived and these were the worst scenarios. There was the case of this man who got stuck behind the train wheels and the tracks, completely smashed but surprisingly still alive but conscious. The train maintained the upper part of his torso still working, heart, lungs, etc so the guy could breath normally and even talk. The sad part is that he was dead man walking. As soon as the train is removed he will collapse and die. So the procedure was to bring some guy to talk with the guy and let him say his final words before removing the train.
Its a really hard thing to watch.

@@ChronoSquare I think in this case science was involved. He was an unique scenario for investigation. How long he could live. Could we experiment with cells? Transplants? Etc. Ouchi was literally crucified for the sake of mankind.

He still fit the criteria for a living thing mate, sorry but your comment is stupid.

Administering a fatal dose of phenol-barbital would have been an act of mercy.

Ouchi gets more attention since, unlike shinohara, he basically turned into human jelly

Only Yutaka Yokakawa (The other guy sitting in the room next to Shinohara and Ouchi) was the only one that survived

It does make a bit sense if the family kept begging and believing.
It is especially hard for me to understand the family.
My culture (Dutch) is totally different from that of a Japanese, that doesn't help.

I lost a very beloved Person to cancer. I watched her being eaten away from the Tumors, she fought incredibly hard. But thankfully we were in a hospice, so she could die peaceful, without useless Treatment which just would have drawn Out her suffering.
Death was a Relief, a friend.
I have a hart time to understand people/ relatives who cant let go although its painfully clear that nothing can help but Death.
It may sound brutal, but at one point its just selfish to not let go.

Would it not be the responsibility of the medical Staff to talk to the relatives and helping them to accept that they tortured this poor man?

@@jaytakajeremiahtisdale2042 yeah its gross and is unfortunately a big reason why morbidly obese people smell bad. the mildew smell is mold bc they can't reach those areas 🤢

@@tabora_ well it’s certainly unpleasant but it’s just a natural thing, mold can grow on anything.

It makes you realize all the things your body is doing to keep itself healthy, even if you're entirely unaware of all the smaller processes that are going on.

Yeah. People would also get mad if they just let him die too though

I'd rather be put in a situation where I could die than be tortured for almost 3 months lmao

they did! a total of 6 people were arrested including their manager.

i hope they went to hell

The management team was extremely negligent. However, words can hardly describe the punishment that the medics and his family deserve for torturing a half dead man for months. It's quite literally impossible to imagine the agony he went through because he was kept alive. It's possible that an appropriately painful fate for these cruel people does not exist. But thank God they made progress with the research on the effects of radiation on the human body or something. Technology could never have come this far without making a soul beg for his death every day until he couldn't even think anymore.

The fact that his own immune system was helping into destroying his own body, was just saying that he needed to be let go.

@@jatman9556 agreed!!!!

The worst part is he didn't even get superpowers

@@jatman9556 that's also what IS is doing for people with autoimmune disease and HIV

@A BH cancer isn't as bad as what he had

Thanks will. Appreciate that

if someone like me can't sleep after just watching this then yeah. i bet they had it a lot worse 💔

Yep, that's just one! Imagine if Russia/US/China started shooting nukes!

@@malaysabolehpsy wait why does that matter?

@@malaysabolehpsy not the nuke thing itself, that’d be fucked, but i mean what’s it have to do with this?

@@faultf4 I wonder why

I don't think rotten alive is counted as survival

I'd rather die in that chamber

With out modern medicine and the family asking for him to be keeped alive he would have died much earlier then that. We are at a point in science where we can keep the body alive even when the mind is gone for quite some time. Here we saw they can keep the body alive even when the body should be dead but we cannot cure them. Bro was a torture victim for 3 months due to his family not wanting to let him die. Although assisted suicide is not legal in many places still, most doctors and nurses will administer a dose of painkiller that will kill the patient at the families request. That's how my grandfather left and that's how this man should have left too. A final sleep.
There is more shame in forcing a dead man to stay alive then in killing him out of mercy.

@@christopherjaya342 he was still talking and his body was performing the necessary functions, so he was surviving, but not for too long

@@peter4210 his death was not in vain though, the knowledge about what radiations will actually do to us is both GREAT and TERRIBLE
Best we can do is honor him in some way

He did clarify that in the video. It really sucks though that there are probably still people out there demonising the doctor/nurses to this day for no reason.

I would look at a invisible camera then say “ bruh moment “

impostor moment

That be listening to the song Radioactive

“haha, i’m in danger 😀”

Amogus moment

Thanks. I was training in a medical field myself not too long ago (radiography) so the medical facts felt important to get right and also I felt it was important to dispell the myth that doctors kept him alive to experiment on him because that was a very prominent rumour that just wasn't true.

Hate to break it to you but if it wasn't for the inhumane experiments that happened during WW1 and WW2 your medical studies would not be what it is. It's a hard to believe that the United States hired Ex Nazi scientists and deathrow Japanese doctors who tortured people for the sake of medical studies and care. But it makes sense how we can operate people and not kill them and how surgical Operations have become so advanced during the cold war. I don't like it but let's not be hypocrites here because we still experiment on living things to this day.. Perfect example the covid vaccine is a test on humans...we are the most evil on this Earth while being a god send

@@thevally6127 Vaccine tests are peoples choice though... Being a POW and being experimented on with no anesthetic and being in a study group are so astronomically different its insane.

@Ughra Yuvakov the UK stopped funding the course and I didn't have enough money to continue studying so I had to leave. I was on course to qualify in another 4 months

Peaked Interest that’s awful, I’m so sorry.. I hope you can get back to it soon (if you want to ofc)! I’m studying medicine atm now too, but surgery instead, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. You did a great job on this video, we can really tell you understand the background. Good luck with your studies mate ❤️❤️

yes

well said Eric

No one forced him against his will to cut corners. Yes, he would have been fired and unemployment perhaps for a very long time and maybe never won a court case but he would have his life. And just like the do not resuscitate, where after they evaluated the situation they changed their mind and signed, each job is a different situation that should be evaluated differently. It's possible to care about the company you work for while also drawing the line.

Yes, landscaping my boss wanted me to not listen to my mom so the next day I quit. The bible said something like this honor your father and mother and live longer.

@@WilliamHollinger2019 can you fix your grammar and repost???

Which photo/s?

@@TertiaryQuota the one at the very end of the video

@@CypressDahlia Fun fact, the man in the picture you see is a burn survivor and is living/lived his life peacefully!

@@villain5674 dang. that's a stronger man than me

@Matsu that's really nice to hear. I did always wonder about that guy. Don't suppose you know his name then I can update the description?

Thank you very much , that's super kind of you

Thanks man

I am never ever gonna work near nuclear stuff. The risk is far too great to me. I still think nuclear power is great and safe as long as proper procedures are followed. But that type of death terrifies me.

@@michaelostergren3516 you probably already live next to a nuclear facility without knowing

@@SirConfectionery probably but I live in northern California up in the mountains. The town I live in, Greenville only has a population of like 1,500. If there was any nuclear facilities nearby I certainly don't know about them. Although we do have a few dams up here.

If thsi facinates and scares u mate read and watch about chernobyl
The same thing happened to many other men

the moral of the story is do not get yourself irradiated as you will die if you do

Exactly. These doctors did everything according to their oath and ethics. The look in their eyes was one of helplessness.

@@KSun-yq1yp don't worry those that didn't get vaccinated are now getting fired so they are being released from their burdens yay woot hoot

The 2nd worker Yutaka Yokokawa suffered for 7 months! He seemed to be getting better, but then suffered multiple organ failure. Not good.

His family made him suffer, in return, the world attacked the doctors

Misinfo. They for a while decided to keep going because Hisashi himself wanted to as well, and, there were signs he could potentially get better. But after his cardiac arrests, the doctors came to the conclusion that they shouldn't continue, and the family agreed once they were told how bad it was getting by then

I agree, I think the world should start considering the right to die as a fundamental right

I don't think it's fair to label them selfish, they were In a state of grief which caused them to cling to whatever faint hopes there were. Grief affects everyone differently and I wouldn't like to judge them for making bad decisions while in a state of grief

@@PeakedInterest
Seeing a torment like Ouchi's makes me grieve more than seeing him die.
The only kind of people who deserve that kind of torment Ouchi went through are Child Molesters and Cold-blooded serial killers who refuse to show remorse.

Same for my grandmother. Five days of excruciating pain.

@@2tjanthony its not fair to say the family is selfish, its rational to try and save a loved one.

Narcotics cant even help him. The pain is from his ENTIRE body, and the injections flushed out from his body immediately anyway

Can you imagine it? I sure can't. This is the most horrific death I can imagine.

It’s like they was torturing him😣

I could imagine that happening to me too..... so scary and horrifying 💔

There isn't a follow up but one of the men died about 9 months later. The other was found guilty of negligence. The company was later also found guilty of negligence and sued by the families

@@PeakedInterest thank you for informing.

And I imagine it was difficult for the family to come to terms with the fact their loved one wasn't going to come home, that he would be doomed to die no matter what they tried, at least they finally let him die, and the doctors having to go to work to see that every morning. This was just a tragedy.

@@gsesquire3441 I’m in delusion about how meaningless these io games are….
And that it’s ok to be ignorant
Or so I think

Thank you. If I'd found in my research that were bad people who did experiment on him I would've conveyed that but in research I saw zero evidence of it (which is what I expected) the people demonizing him are just lazy and don't want to look at the evidence. I appreciate the kind words

Exactly. Doctors are supposed to aave people not kill them. People saying the doctors and surgeons should have just put him out of his misery are ignorant individuals and always seeking an easy way out.

@@AnAdorableWombat People should have the right to choose whether to avoid unbeareable sufferings due to a terminal condition. This is not a critic to the doctors but to the legal system. In my country (Italy) we are going to have a referendum on euthanasia, and I am really hoping we get this civil right.

@@elipulci5761 Agreed!

On the outside it seemed this way, but it took major effort and legal persuasion to finally invoke the mans natural right to end his own severe suffering through his own will to be self terminated.
He had to have legal support and to force the doctors stop trying to maintain his life and to try and cure him while knowing very well his chromosomes had been destroyed and any effort to maintain his life was impossible and inhumane due to the fact that he was already biological dead and suffering a incredible degree of physical and mental agony unlike any thing we could understand.
So willingly committing him to such a prolonged and gruesome fate is completely boorish and a punishment which could only be fuelled by a heartless primitive curiosity which superseded any and all compassion or regard for human life or sense of pity or care for the insurmountable suffering of this man.
Anyone who has not already deemed the person dead and unreceptive to any awareness of their experience and continues such treatment is a monster and even if they did deem the person unaffected and already dead it’s still a atrocity which no man should be capable of and which no living entity should be subjected to.
This was a testament to the depths of cruelty man is capable of, this effort was done for medical research and was not done for the benefit of the mans life but to feed the curiosity of those who think they are Godlike and have the right to use humans for their own device’s.

I don’t understand human body sometimes also

An article showed one of the images without prior warning in the middle of the article and I got scarred by it. It look SO bad and I didn't have the courage to look at it closely. I saw it for a sec and scrolled away quickly. I can't imagine how painful it was for him.

@@Hyvexx If it's a red burned body, it's probably the image that blurred at 20:43 - totally another man, complete lie from article authors.

the red burned man is from another case, afaik that man survived

Thanks so much. The heart isn't radiosensitive. You can blast it all day with radiation and nothing will happen. Just a quick of anatomy
