I very much recommend the movie I posted. It's this very immersive look at different medical procedures, specifically surgeries. The pair of directors specializes in these documentaries which try to get super up close visually to things. They had a very good documentary about professional commercial fishing called Leviathan, but this film was something else.
to be fair watching a full sized baby claw its way out of a c**t is a very disorienting thing to see
especially a water birth since they come out grey and don't start breathing until you take them out of the water so between the head and the final push there's just this drunk winston churchill looking bloody grey face staring aggressively out of your wife's pussy
glad we went with a midwife though everything I've heard about hospital births it sounds soul crushing, strapped in a chair and they drag the baby off 10 seconds after birth to load it with chemicals and stab it for blood tests then make you stay all day to heal from forcing delivery in a bad position. We went in at 9 in the morning, birth at 1, home by 5
Damn nice anon, if I ever have kids I would probably do it this way too, hospitals are kind of a fricked up environment

most midwives are nurses these days so it's not hippies on acid shitting out flower babies in the back of a vw bus then weighing them at a grocery store, ours had ultrasounds and a nice delivery room (like a big bedroom with couches and a huge jaccuzzi style tub in the corner for water births) and was only a few minutes from a hospital in case anything went wrong, even covered by insurance
although I will say if you are ever blessed with children and worried you'll be a bad parent there is a book called "spiritual midwifery" about a bunch of hippies on acid shitting out flower babies in the backs of vw busses then weighing them at grocery stores and it will make you much more confident in your competency to raise kids

Awesome, I just love bombarding my unborn child with unnecessary doses of ionizing radiation. How long before midwives are just as bad as hospitals with all their pricking and poking and vaccinating in the name of health and safety?

You're right, I got the terminology wrong. But there's evidence to show that it can cause inappropriate heating of the baby's tissues including its brain and may be linked to negative outcomes in newborns.
you guys give soiboys a lot of shit but at least those guys:
have sex
have families
own homes and vehicles
are educated
have good careers
have large friend groups
are successful socially and romantically
while you fricking geeks spend all day saving photos of them to your computers like gays
>Surgical removal (decompression) of the tumor is linked to increased survival, but only by some months. >Despite maximum treatment, the cancer almost always recurs. The typical duration of survival following diagnosis is 10–13 months, with fewer than 5–10% of people surviving longer than five years.
And this may run in my family.
No one said this shit ITT, what people mean are the diseases that raze the human body and warp it's elements. morons on this board love to invent people in their heads to get mad at.

>René was killed aged 25 at the siege of St. Dizier on 15 July 1544, from a wound sustained in battle the previous day. Richier presents him as an écorché, with his skin and muscles decayed, leaving him reduced to a skeleton. This fulfilled his alleged deathbed wish, that his tomb depict his body as it would be three years after his death. His left arm is raised as if gesturing towards heaven. At one point, his heart was supposedly held in a reliquary, placed in the hand of the figure's raised arm.
Death gives weight to things but it should not be glorified, especially shit like nasty diseases. This leads to eventual disregard for life, apathetic wait for death instead of attempting to prolong life as far as the human body is capable of.
Birth is beautiful. Diseases are nasty and often scary. The human body can be both endearing, inspiring and off-putting depending on context.

I don’t think you should glorify death, but I don’t think processing it artistically as a way to make it appear more in harmony with the natural order of life is bad. During the black death period there was a lot of public artwork (like clockwork skeletons ringing church bells) keeping the reality of death in the public consciousness. That’s why people in the past often have skulls on their desks, as a reminder to contemplate mortality at a time when you could drop dead any second. I don’t see it as deifying death but incorporating death into the same visual series as beautiful things, showing it’s part of the same constellation of life. Similar to medieval churches including grotesques and imps next to images of saints. Keeps things balanced and in perspective

Well as the discussion started from the movie, that is exactly what it does. It shows the parts of our bodies we don't see often, and showcases both the disgusting and creepy diseases but also a beauty of birth. And on the rudimentary level it's all meat that looks seemingly the same, but the emotions are wildly different.

Yeah I was mistaken in what I said. But I do think the raw imagery of disease and death should be normalised. Not in a traumatising bestgore way, but artistic representations of it, which were common in the past. We tend to view death now as some eventuality, something down the line that will wait for our plans, or ourselves as incorruptible consciousness encased in meat. The reality is that the mind and meat are all the same organism, and that death has the same immediacy as sneezing, it could potentially just happen at any time. Losing this sense has led to a lot of weird insanity, we think our bodies are tools to be modified and mutilated as we wish, and we hide death away in an unpleasant corner and can’t reconcile it with the rest of our ideas about life. death should be normalised, not glorified, and disease should be approached clinically and honestly, instead of trying to hide it from the public. these insane celebs injecting silicone into their death to deny ageing are doing a similar thing

I don’t think religion glorifies death either. I mean the whole concept of christianity is based around christ defeating death. The healthy attitude is resignation and acknowledgement of death, a sort of honourable submission to its inevitability and your limited youth, beauty and temporal existence. I’m sure atheists can have that attitude as well, and do. The ones who aren’t redditors going on about how immortality is totally about to be invented or uploading their “consciousness” into a robot anyway.

If you're christian you should believe God gave you AIDs and if it kills you, that's why he wants to happen. Why would you not glorify the will of your God?

Attempting to prolong life as long as possible just creates arrogant boomers with no idea of their own limitations.
Diseases are nasty but death is nothing to be afraid of IMO.
That said, I feel like these days there's no measured response to this stuff. Either you try to prolong people's decrepit old age to absurd levels or you have government-enforced suicide for all sick people. you need to be in touch with death in the first place to respond to it appropriately

Prolonging life is the mark of the death anxious: those that cannot accept mortality. The concept of finality is terrorizing to such a person and they WILL rationalize their death away through things like meaning and reproduction (immortalization techniques), despite the inevitability of rotting just the same.
Death is natural; sickness is natural; pain is natural. These are all parts of life and eschewing them is just bringing about anxiety.
That disease that causes wood like growths on the skin and the one that turns your organs into concrete trip me out. They're supposedly so rare that we only see a handful of cases in a given generation
I've recently realized that the only body horror movies I actually like are monster flicks. I don't think I really even like body horror, and that I just am a monster autist deep down
Getting past the "horror" aspect of it all is when you can really start enjoying shockumentary stuff. Pic rel is probably the best when it comes to normalizing the concept and helping a person understand it's just another thing for someone to worry about. Nothing supernatural.
I would absolutely kill myself. I don't even think I could wait for treatment. The fact that this even happened to me would be endgame. No coming back.
here's a documentary body horror
the reality of what we are is infinitely more amazing and horrifying than any gore flick
