    My good friend and siblings ended up in an orphanage in 1960 because their mother was very ill and their father had disappeared. It was a well-funded Catholic orphanage in a beautiful old mansion gifted to the Church, and it was very well-run. The nuns truly cared for their charges, and any nun who didn't was quickly reassigned somewhere else. They were taught by Jesuit priests and got a much better education than the kids in nearby public schools. They had a choir, and sports teams, and Scout troops. It was a very loving, though disciplined, environment. My friend stayed in contact with some of the nuns for decades. Not a typical orphanage environment, but the way they can be and should be. I feel bad for the innocent children in other institutions who had terrible experiences, because it shouldn't be like that. In general, our society's treatment of children who don't have wealthy parents is immoral.

      It’s a relief to know that there are a few positive examples, albeit rare and untypical. My husband went through 11 different foster homes when he was a kid; his experiences were harrowing and his foster parents were often abuses themselves. He did have *one* great family, though, and even though he was only able to be with them for a few years, they helped give him a sense of self worth that stuck with him. I wish every kid was born to decent parents and every orphaned kid was matched with decent families, but that’s not how this world is, I’m afraid. My heart goes out to every child lost to abuse and exploitation, and my gratitude and praise go out to those who care for lost children with integrity and love.

    In 1961 Ballantine Books published a book by Ronald M. Deutch called "The Nuts Among the Berries" about the unproven and scientifically questionable practices of the health food industry. In the book (which was darkly hilarious) Deutch wrote a chapter about Kellogg and Post. Kellogg died not long after purchasing a German yogurt enema machine and Post was SO PROUD of his stools that he mailed one (unsolicited) to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to show them what a "perfect" turd looked like. My mother bought the book and was so horrified by what she read, our cereal-eating days were severely curtailed. There is no part of American Medicine more prone to fads, disinformation, lies and quackery than nutrition.

For the right use, radioactive material can save someone's life. (But - of course - this video was about a situation without informed consent, and probably much more radioactive than what he had.) The worst part of these children's experience was simply being in that awful orphanage.

They fed us shit food that by the end of my 2 years there made me violently sick because I already struggle with digestive issues and when I tried to get medical attention they reduced the amount of food they gave me and I got less than half the food my peer did.

      I read the book "The Radium Girls" by Kate Moore and, as awful as that was, what was done to these children is worse. What happened to the radium girls was not intentional experimentation without consent. That was "merely" corporate greed downplaying the obvious human consequences to maximize profits. This was intentional experimentation on a class of people unable to provide informed consent even if they had been given the choice. Stories like this make me appreciate, as an atheist, why Xtians feel the need to invent the concept of Hell.

      What the Radium Girls experienced was vastly worse than this.
      Let's put it this way. He quotes approximately 170-330 millirem as the exposure level of these kids over the course of the experiment. That's about one CT scan.
      It's likely the radium girls, over the course of their work, were exposed to hundreds of millions of millirems of radiation. They experienced radiation poisoning. This is why you saw such dramatic and rapid health deterioration, tissue decaying and bone disintegrating. Why their jaws were literally falling off their heads in some cases.
      The radium girls radiation exposure is equivalent to tens of millions of consecutive chest X-rays. These kids had the equivalent of 30, which is, give or take, a CT scan (a CT scan is between 15 and 120 x-rays of radiation)

    Thank you for doing this video, Simon. Though the Nuremberg code reading made me very sad,. To think, they had this drafted decades before doctors subjected me to my ordeal. Telling the story of the children who suffered helps remind those in power never to do this again. People should hear it, because they matter, and their suffering matters and should not have been in vain.
    As an 8 year old child, I was subjected to a traumatic, experimental version of an existing major orthopedic surgery-revamped to go in one huge round instead of 3 separate surgeries- as is the normal practice even today-because they "wanted children who needed it to miss less school". I was an excellent student all my life, and this was certainly no justification for the agony I experienced.
    This was allowed to happen in 1990 in Connecticut, in the United States, because, well, my mother said "Yes". She thought she was doing the best for me. The flashy doctor who came from the west coast promised my mother this was the best thing for me. And the children's hospital got it paid for by charity and by the Shriner's, since we were low income and a single parent household. Mom never realized she would spend weeks listening to her daughter scream in pain while the hospital staff repeated there was nothing they could do, because a child my size could not safely be given any more pain medication than I was already on. Morphine, demerol - nothing helped.
    Being disabled since birth, I'm used to a fair amount of pain and always have been (severe muscle spasms and falls, etc.) But this was horrendous. The surgical recovery was traumatic and painful in ways I can't describe. My surgery was considered an utter failure. The full extent of trauma on the lower extremities, the extended timeframe for healing, and the outright unmanageable levels of pain on a small child were NEVER truly considered by the board that gave it their approval. The surgery, far from helping, left me worse off and less mobile than before and I remain terrified of doctors, even today, as a 42 year old.
    It's NOT okay to experiment on children, even if/when their parents consent. The California superstar orthopedic surgeon who performed that massacre on me wouldn't even take the hospital's follow-up calls and NEVER came in to check on me after the 12 hour long surgery. Not all "medicine" helps.

      That sucks, I'm sorry. Orphanages don't have to be horrible. They should be well-funded and staffed by people who love children, and give a good education and fun things to do. My good friend was lucky enough to be in a well-run and well-funded Catholic orphanage where the nuns who didn't love children were quickly sent elsewhere. They had discipline, but also fun activities, field trips to amusement parks and museums and concerts. They should all be like that, not warehouses for minors until they age out.

Less than 100 years ago my lot would have been sterilization, torture, disenfranchisement, suspension of my bodily autonomy, suspension of my rights as a human being, homelessness, prison, institutionalization, medical experimentation, sexual violence, and general abuse. A lot of that still happens to us today, just because we have different sets of abilities than the majority.

    Here's a good place for me to share my recent Instant Oatmeal hack I came up with this week! This is for the kind that's in individual serving packets that you add 2/3rd cup hot water to (or cold water and microwave for 60sec); specifically, the "Maple & Brown Sugar" flavor.
    It's simple:
    - Add 2/3rd cup (158mL) of Cran-Raspberry juice
    - Microwave for 60sec. *TADA!*
    _[optional: add about 2 or 3 Tablespoons (29 - 44mL) French Vanilla coffee creamer and mix thoroughly]_
    It's basically like adding dried cranberries (aka Craisins) to it.
    And if adding creamer, not much different from having made it with milk, instead of water _(which _*_is_*_ an optional Instant Oatmeal preparation method listed on the packet)_
    *BONUS:* I decided to try this, because I had concocted a drink which was 4 parts Cran-Rasp juice, to 1 part creamer, which tastes really good. (think Raspberry ice cream)
    *BONUS #2:* Another treat is to dunk Oreos into, you guessed it, Cran-Rasp juice! 😊 (think Gherardelli Raspberry-filled chocolate squares)
    *BONUS #3:* Use French Vanilla with Root Beer 😁 (think hassle-free Root Beer Float)
    Ok, now I'm done... _ENJOY!_ 🙂👍
