There are a few reasons that I know of: Heavy bodies are more difficult to move, fat bodies take longer to dissect, and large bodies don’t always fit on the (usually decades-old) tables.
I think that weight is a disqualification that’s been changing in recent years, because even in Europe bodies are starting to trend larger. But it’s still something to keep in mind if you live in like Mississippi and think the University of Mississippi will take your 350 pound grandpa when he passes on.
I think it’s implying the opposite, that they abused their body so much during life that they no longer qualify to be donated. Weight is one of the major disqualifiers for whole-body donation.
The vast majority of bodies go to medical institutions for surgical training, with a smaller percent going to research
The quote also says it was a professor at Columbia, which is one of the universities the administration has been bullying lol

I’m aware of that. I am not sure why you told me to watch that video when I was trying to figure out why they chose folinic acid supplements specifically. Because folic acid and folinic acid can really make people with MTHFR deficiency sick, and for some it also worsens their autism symptoms.
My brain doesn’t handle videos very well, what’s the summary?
I think this is based on poor understanding of genetics. A lot of neurodivergent people have mutations in a gene (MTHFR) that deals with processing folate, but that doesn’t mean they have reduced folate by itself. But, taking folic acid if you have decreased ability to process it can actually cause health problems. I’m not sure what the difference is for folinic acid, but this just all sounds very pharma-bro and unscientific to me
Right, I kind of expected that prominence to encourage carrying enough security to protect him. I think he skewed that a bit and thought he was untouchable because of his prominence.
The other two are just as insane, but think they have Trump’s ear despite not commanding anything near Kirk’s audience
He’s famous for creating a conservative organization while in college, called Turning Point USA. The org puts out a lot of smug memes to appeal to young conservative folks, so naturally people made fun of them and counter-memed.
He’s said a lot of very vile things, like “Black women don’t have the same kind of brain processing power” (paraphrased) when talking about how bad DEI is.
My BFF hadn’t heard of him either, but they curate their feeds to be mostly uplifting fluff, and they aren’t terminally online like I am lol. I was kind of surprised that he was the influencer that got shot though, I might have expected someone like Loomer or Fuentes
What a weird choice to replace Charlie. Like, the man used to be gay until conservatives turned on him over it, he’s catholic, worked for Nick Fuentes (Kirk’s nemesis) and Ye, and he’s not even American.
I’m not here to downplay those problems in China. They are serious. But, that’s not the government saying they don’t care about children, it’s saying that they have their own racist and bigoted political problems.
And, if you’ve paid any attention, the US is doing really similar things and has been for a long time. We made some progress with the Civil rights movement, but we still have Black people arrested at 2x the rate of white, 37% of the prison pop is Black while they only represent 13% of the general pop. The education system has all but erased the cultural roots of Black Americans, and God forbid a Black teen uses slang to communicate. Most of the sectioning off of voting areas in the US is to minimize their and other minority’s voting power. For now it’s still legal to say “Hey this influencer really made life bad for me, and I’m okay with him being dead”, but it may not remain legal for long. EPA regulations are being dissolved, but the biggest problems will affect traditionally/forced Black neighborhoods.
Where are you getting the idea that the government in China doesn’t care about their children?
Hey man, you’re the one that brought up rules. But while we’re talking about international rules, gene editing of embryos and their descendants is legal in the US if it’s privately funded. And it’s not illegal internationally to do so
Also, I’d be less worried about CRISPR specifically for this use, because it’s not always accurate, is limited in what it can actually do, and there are better gene editing tools now
But our side has rules, you assume they play by the rules.
China academia has the same problem that US academia has: publish or perish.
And seriously, you can’t say something like that and ignore all the BS the US government has been pulling internationally for decades. Trump murdered 14 random people on boats that weren’t even in US territory, and seemingly no one on the international stage gives a shit
The best hugging pillow I ever had was a ridiculously large plushie, because the fill density was different. I haven’t figured out the head pillow yet, because sometimes as a side sleeper I try to hug those, too. I’ve mostly landed on ignoring the shaped memory foam pillows, because even if it says “for side sleepers” it usually feels better using as a traditional sleeper
They are a lynx species but they don’t have the stereotypical long tufts on their ears like most people think of. They are relatively common to see even in suburban areas in Fl
Oh. I forgot how confusing the name is lol. When I read jaguar I think “spotted cat”, Florida panthers are Puma not Panthera.
For what it’s worth, I have seen a melanistic jaguar in Florida at a wildlife refuge
I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.
