Welcome to the Body Farm

[mwillis1000]

Their not real are they?

[PetraDobat]

I was eating fried chicken before I watched this video. I had to put it down. EWWWW

[elbowsfromdebono]

any one for beef jerky....

[VlogsbyLazaro]

whats the name of this documentary?



[MrAcrobot]

wtf the guy can go there without a mask?

[Metroid225]

Biohazard zone.

Surprise?

[Beautvanity]

I saw the whole thing about a month ago....right before and after dinner......strange that I didn't vomit, but I convulse at anything with a pungent or sweet smell...........

[nepurangi]

Sweet he used the word sweet when describing the smell....

[aoyl]

Who contributes the bodies?

[BaThEeShA]

@aoyl There is actually people who register to have their bodies be in the body farm for research.

[Kr4zi4ur0mg]

Who actually looked down at the ground while watching this?! LOL It was somewhat horrifying but, I'll learn to be scared of more horrifying things than just rotten human skeletons.

[GiRluva1234]

That was .... Appetizing

[IPooRainbowPoo]

It's not nasty....

Oh god we KNOW its nasty just look at it! D:

[GOLDENTEMPLE68]

These people do work that solves crimes. Real good research. But does the body react different depending on different variables. Weather, temperature, surroundings and such.

[parkpro]

Truck drivers haul them in a refrigerated sealed semi trailer to this place.

[strudelpopje]

Tasty.

[gualok2]

Ok, thanks for your kind answers sdavoudi1 and freelancerWolfy, about smell, yes is very strong and it is a mix, awful and a bit sweet, I had dealed with dead people after some days and they had those smell, "hedor" we call it in Spanish, and a dead animal has a different smell, I don´t know why...

[keroer1]

thats the job that i want to do when i finish college ^_^

[camiec]

My dream job.. Sigh...

[FreelancerWolfy]

@camiec same here

[KWASHIC]

WTF!!! where do they get them?

[irvingklaw57]

Sweet Jesus! I'm getting cremated.

[nuclearpuddin]

"It's not nasty" 3:28

0.o

[JNM1220]

Wow, "sweet" is the last thing I would have thought a decaying human body smelled like O_o' lol

[GrammarTrolll]

I bet this field has a lot of job openings. Who wants to be around rotting corpses? Creepy...

[gualok2]

Well, sadly my english isn´t good enough to tell you my thought, but if that is science, how do you say what Mengele did in WWII? What sort of diseases would you get because of those bodies? Why mankid are used to bury their deads? How much useful is that research?

[sdavoudi1]

@gualok2

There are numerous cases where police finds a dead body. This type of research can help police find clues on how long it has been there, under what circumstances and ... and clues as to who committed the crime.

[FreelancerWolfy]

@gualok2 It is important to note all bodies used in these experiments are donated. Mengele took advantage of being at Auschwitz and doing his terrible experiments on twins and women. As for the disease I am sure that the scientists are being careful well studying them.

[Andokool12]

I hate how this is the top related video to my ambient song...

[BrianTheChosen1]

3:30 He's right, someone's got to do it or else a family or friend's dead victim's will not be solved.

[Quickshot900]

3:21 CHEEEZE :D

[victorialouvous]

How attractive...

[8theknittingninja8]

I like how calm the narrator is........

[ThePsi42]

oh holy crap

[GreyLabyrinthine]

Real life Gil Grissoms, instant heroes of mankind.

And yes, he did say pungent sweet smell. Think of rotting or rotten fruit. Its chemistry.

[skyehoyt1971]

Y'all want to see me say fuck that? Fuck that fuck that!

[MartinaMovies]

Why not just laying 10 dead pigs in a field? In science pigs are used all the time to compare the decomposing with that of a human body.

[TooAnnoyed]

@MartinaMovies because the human bodies are allready there...

[MartinaMovies]

@TooAnnoyed They weren't.

[laskolasko]

I bet that place is extremely haunted, would be interesting to see what happens there at night. Time to bring in the spectrologist... wait... did he just say the smell of a cadaver was "sweet?"

[Kerewyn]

Whoa! That is disgusting... Scary thing is one day it's gonna happen to all of us... Unless of course you get cremated... Hmm decompose or cremation?!... Neither sounds particularly appealing

[MrFeb12]

Damn nature, why you so scary! Lol

[Plumes1]

Okay but dont you think they might get cholera from this farm?

[nuclearpuddin]

Dirty Jobs i found a job for you!

[AG4eva44]

Dude: it's not nasty... Me: yes it is...

[AG4eva44]

Dude : it's not nasty...

[PanicDisorder666]

talk with them by spirit box.. lol

[katana489]

i very sick jobs that has to be done

[g00diegood]

I gonna live forever. Im gonna learn how to fly!

[CrazyKillerPacifist]

I mean, I'm sure this research will be beneficial.. but wow. Were I to donate my body to science, I would hope that I could add some conditions... like not including it in this.

[apples871]

@CrazyKillerPacifist Why not? Im curious why you think cutting, tearing, pulling your body apart is different than letting it decay since both go to understanding the body better in the end.

[WingedSoulies]

Behold! The so called "greatest creation" of "God"

a masterpiece

until death takes it

nothing seems perfect in this world where time slays all

donate your body to a cuase ;]

and to SCIENCE >:D!

[littIeduck]

i wanted cremation before. Now i'm SURE i want cremation. NOTHING ELSE.

[IBelieveInDreamin]

Did he say pungent "sweet" smell? ????

[Myconinja]

@IBelieveInDreamin Unfortunately, that is the smell of death.

[choirfreak26]

I want to donate my body to this place when I die. I want to be useful, not rotting away in a box in a hole.

[MyNickIsRick]

Shouldn'it it be classsified as "adult" video?

[Triistaann]

@MyNickIsRick Why would they? There's nothing strange about dead body's. We all die, it is how it is.

[khey86]

Go find "jobs" documentary on national geographic taboo... You'll see how they donated these bodies.

[khey86]

These are donated body... There was a documentary for this.

[Mobey1]

I'm sure Gil Grissom from CSI his character would love this with all these bugs!

[MartinaMovies]

@Mobey1 Haha yeah, he would love all the bugs and flies haha!

[kris1977kdw]

Its seeeeeeek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gualok2]

I think it is horrible, that isn´t science, it is just morbus, we know how a corpse "descompone", it is a smart way to call "science" which is a simple "morbo"....

[neneswsw]

@gualok2 Obviously you don't understand the true meaning of science and its aims. If you claim to know the full process of decomposition, not "descompone", please elaborate - I would be happy to listen. And in the off-chance that you do explain in detail from resources on the internet, want to know where all that information came from? That's right, from first-hand investigations in examining decomposing corpses.

[smittieh]

@gualok2 Ofcourse this is science, you just don't like it..

[warrior4641]

And I thought my job stinks..

[jnb4566]

amazing!!!!

[IreallyDunno004]

sad 

[el6478]

what...i think that's an honourable job...

[HeticScorpion]

That scientist guy is one fucked up weirdo :S

[MaxC17]

@HeticScorpion "sweet smell" lol ummm.. sure why not

[b1mfua33]

ewwww!!!!

[yenienvallejo]

oh fuck!!! cremate me!!!

[kaeldi2010]

god was this supposed to be in 3D or something??? stop with the blurring!

[elitebionic]

Serious question - can anyone tell me where they get these bodies?

[healie]

@elitebionic People who have filled out a little form that says their dead body can be used for scientific purposes.

[qoiyum1990]

@elitebionic maybe they get from the grave..or someone donate their body to them

[LivingInHollowHeaven]

I read about this place years ago in Mary Roach's book Stiff. It offers rather a different kind of insight than National Geographic.

[ccavute]

10 years later, it will become a zombie farm . haha

[Kiena58]

hmm ok kinda gross but at the same time cool....

it's amazing to see what scientists go through to try n perfect life n systems around it...this may or may not work but the effort is what counts...n they have got that..the stench is probably so nasty... i cannot imagine working or doing this..

[StealthNinjaX2]

how about you show us what real scientist see instead of blurring it with stupid effects and crap

[cortransport]

No, it means u dont shower often lol

[IPokedUrMother]

I got larvas living in my balls... Does it mean that i am dead?

[karanjhalaguy16578]

Blackened skin..... Blackened is the end

Winter it will send

Throwing all you see

Into obscurity

[no1sebfan]

I'm sure when you donate your body to science... this is one of the many ways .. yikes!!!

[MissLauraCain]

How can they reach any conclusion about the corpse when all the bodies are in the same (location) environment? I would imagine the humidity, soil, and type of bugs would play a role in how the body decomposes. This seems like something that will end up being a huge bill for the tax payers and in 20 years they will decide they need many facilities rather than one.

[XBionic1955]

@MissLauraCain

Add also wind speed, temperature and other external factors that affect the speed of decomposition and one's gonna get another piece of "true or false" kinda movie

[videomanmmxi]

i bet those are all non caucasian corpses lol, sick white man...

[XBionic1955]

NationalGeographic makes fun of its viewers too, otherwise how would one explain that scientists work without masks in such harsh conditions? )

[jdmderick]

Finally something decent on anatomy thanks

[XBionic1955]

US Govt kills the native americans and then makes a documentary fun out of their death

[XBionic1955]

Is this kinda theatrical cover-up TV show operation to hide and justify the discovery of graveyard where killed people are laid without being buried?

This has little to none relation to the science of crime investigations since the initial physical conditions for the bodies (such as how much food or water was inside the body at the time of death to effect further decomposition as reagents) remain unknown.

[boxcarbeatrice]

@XBionic1955 "little to none" is an exaggeration. These are control bodies in which they know exactly what is or was in them, and through that can learn what the decomposition in those situations will look like. It seems unlikely that they would only study bodies that started in the same exact condition.

[XBionic1955]

@boxcarbeatrice

LOL. What you mean by "control bodies"? How can one control the death of someone?

[boxcarbeatrice]

@XBionic1955 Take a science class my friend! When you do an experiment, you have a "control," in this case, the bodies. This means they know exactly how they died, when they died, and what they ate before they died. They aren't random bodies they found lying around, they are probably donated or potters field bodies.

[XBionic1955]

@boxcarbeatrice

I wouldn't like to live in a society, in which my death is controlled by someone

[XBionic1955]

@boxcarbeatrice

I mean the scientists say their experiments are to help the police to investigate the crimes and to calculate how long the decomposition was in progress since person's death. If the environment is strictly controlled as you say, then the experiments are of no use, because the police is not able to find out what each of us ate 2 days ago. This is how the US government waste taxpayers money for making stupid experiments like this one!

[Kiena58]

@XBionic1955 lol...this is exactly true!

[ahsayeed]

Did he say "pungent sweet smell" ? I suspect it is this dude's job of preference...another kind of fetish in the name of science..

[JWilsonTV]

Did he really just say pungent sweet smell?

[wladence]

Why the hell aren't they using face masks and overall protecting clothing, the are must be flooded with diseases and bacteria ?! O_o

[TheModCon]

@wladence They like the pungent sweet smell bro

[MrShiki1134]

the corpse came from where?

[metika]

I wish the picture is more clearer. My eyes hurt with all those unfocus, blurry, color changing technics.

[tingtinglll]

Seeing all those maggots make me sick already!

[franktaveras]

Awesome, amazing video editing job. Thanks editors for not making this short revolting for someone who doesn't see dead corpses regularly.

[cooldudethegreatspy]

This is really interesting but isn't the odor from the bodies harmful to the scientists?

[kristinajonas]

That's actually quite interesting and I'm not shocked or disgusted. I've seen worse. Lol

[octchung]

very terrify...horrify......shockin­g....

[akeenobumatsu]

i can smell the start of the Z apocalypse hehehe

[mtlh05]

This video would have been all the more awesome with the narrator that can't take anything seriously.

[mtlh05]

DONATE YOUR BODY TO SCIENCE!

HA!

[MaxC17]

@mtlh05 i know eh.. could you imagine if you knew what happened to you after you pass away... i wouldn't' be ever happy... i would understand but still not be happy lol

[FalseProphet501]

CREMATE ME CREMATE ME CREMATE THE FUCKING FUCK OUT OF ME!!!

[ColtraneAndRain]

@FalseProphet501 I KNOW RIGHT!!!???!!!

[ColtraneAndRain]

@FalseProphet501 lol! for real!

[Necr0Cys2topsY]

Cool.

[NBAISAWESOMEEEEEEE]

Why is Pau Gasol here? lol joke!

[dove0hunter]

sweet smell ...

[MsBB37]

I'm proud of their work. Because of them less people get murdered abandoned and forgotten. It's noble, what they're doing. And it's noble, those who donate their body to scientific research like this.

[shiyan0520]

How can they withstand the smell? oh god~

[cubiboy91]

What is this ? A result of series psycho killer ?????

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

What the fuck?

[TheRunescapeHero1]

I think that this is fucked up!



[HitomiNoRyu]

I would donate my body to science in a heartbeat if I know for a fact my corpse ends up at the body farm.

That would be so awesome~!

[xJMAN07x]

These guys are HARDCORE.

[Avery752]

2:00 Are those pot leaves? HELL YEAH DAWG

[RobbytheLion]

Bodies disappear very quickly in a forest, especially a coniferous forest because of the acidity of the soil. I'm not even talking about crime victims, I'm talking about all the wild animals. Think about it, have you ever seen a dead deer in the woods? Nature buries the dead. I hope I die an old man cutting firewood for my cabin in the mountains.

[HeadbangingGlory]

its not a new vid, this has been reposted

[ManiDProductions]

interesting..

[AznDog1]

my virgin eyes...

[campcoskuro]

this was very interesting.

[sadista25aco]

Doesnt it stink?

[santorian123]

i found this hard to masturbate...

[opti95]

this gets me hot

[deviceds]

@NationalGeographic Do they use real corpses?

[itsbeatingforyou]

its always the black people!

[Nycki1337]

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

[Eiversed]

cool

[madisonelectronic]

The inside of my nose itches. I am going to snort some Raid.

[fakemadereal]

@Idtelos I heard they were having issues with those

[akintomeatloaf]

So...where do they get the bodies?

[mooseberry]

@akintomeatloaf People choose to donate their bodies before they die. Sometimes, they are donated, by people who choose to donate their bodies to science. My roommate was a forensic anthropologist major at UTK.

[eternallyawildflower]

@akintomeatloaf  Maybe when people opt to use their body for science, this is what they're talking about.

[xJMAN07x]

@akintomeatloaf Donated cadaver bodies I assume.

[AngelLinda25]

@akintomeatloaf They are donated for science. Just those within the body world.

[PirateJessi]

@akintomeatloaf They are dontated to science in a person's will. I've read about the body farm in "Stiff: The Curious Life Of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach. Wonderful book, very insightful. I suggest it highly.

[bradsta88]

@akintomeatloaf a lot of people donate their bodies to science....i personally would never but yeah thats where they come from

[EdTheBadass]

@akintomeatloaf

they kill people.

[ladybaillio]

I saw this lab in a different forum a few years ago. The dramatic music isn't needed, unless they're wanting you to feel a certain emotion.

[ADAMYESHOMO]

Ew

[upurhoe12321]

YES IT IS NASTY GOD DAMMIT!

[frogmistres]

where do they get the bodys for this?

[martinsbigmouth]

@frogmistres my best guess would be murder victims though all the 'time of death' and 'open holes' they were talking about. they probs couldnt have them without family permission if the body can be recognised

[wiredtoawall]

@frogmistres people who wrote that, they want to donate their bodies to science, in their wills

[13lack1ce]

So now you all know where your friends went,when they never came home!

[Idtelos]

I will be cryogenitically freezon, then come back as a super zombie when remove from my stasis. I will then feast upon your brains!!

[Idtelos]

Is the barb wire keeping in the zombies?

[superdiscoforever]

David Hunter!

[jacktchance]

The editor had a bit too much fun with filters...

[tjw1963]

I was eating pizza. Not very hungry anymore.

[TheNeverGiveUp98]

I don't know much about this, but shouldn't they be wearing some kind of mask to protect them from infection?

[TheMoocow2011]

pungent sweet smell? wtf!!!

[SH1R3PRODUCT1ONS]

Not grossed out at all. Of course I wouldn't ever go there, but it was actually quite interesting.

[PeachesDelicious]

Who says hey! skip the funeral... just drop me off at the.... BODY FARM!!!!

[PeachesDelicious]

a pungent, sweet smell????

[Tr1pMind]

an area filled with 50 exposed corpses? i would be vomiting

[CamiloSanchez1979]

They should get all that data, and just repeat the process in computer simulations, they might even play with temperature, humidity etc.

[xXjarhead95xX]

That's what happens when you mark the "donate your body to science " box before you get your license

[TheODonnellkid]

there goes me sleeping

[telj1]

QUESTION: Where do the bodies come from?

[ThePainterSmurf]

@telj1 most bodies are from people who registered themselfs as "donated to science"

(forgive my poor english)
