The organ that dies last in a human body

The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and subsequently they will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing.

The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, the kidneys and pancreas — which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day. White blood cells can keep going for almost three days.

Interestingly, once someone dies, the body quickly enters the so-called “twilight of death” in which gene transcription — the first step of gene expression, where a segment of DNA is copied into RNA — occurs. This could happen within hours or even days after the individual as a whole was declared dead.

For years, researchers have noted that recipients of donor organs often exhibit increased risk of cancer following a transplant, and some researchers think that there could be a link between "twilight of death" gene transcription and this increased cancer risk.

In some sense, in the aftermath of death, the surviving cells start changing their DNA in a state of blind panic, and that could be the very cause of later cancers after transplants.

As if death is a cancer in itself — ready, to strike again.

Woman puts cucumber in her pussy at the store

Woman puts cucumber in her pussy at the store Lady Shocked As Man Masturbates While Staring At Her In A Bus In England A lady who was a passenger on a bus has taken to social media to share the photos of a man he claimed was masturbating in the bus she boarded, while staring at her. The lady who goes by the name Karlah Daly said she confronted the pervert and asked him to stop – but claims that she got more shocked when she reported it to the driver, as the driver simply told her to ‘switch seats’. Horrified by what was happening, she took out her film and recorded what happened. According to her narration, she asked the man to stop once again, but he refused to listen to her. And to her greatest surprise, while she stood up to leave, he mentioned to her that he loves her  “I said ‘can you stop it please’, he didn’t say anything, he was still looking me in the eyes. “I got up to leave and he said: ‘I love you’. I was really scared.” She said there was one other passenger, a ma...

Days before his execution at the Florida State Prison

Days before his execution at the Florida State Prison, Ted Bundy spoke to his ex-girlfriend" Elizabeth Kloepfer by phone, finally admitting to her what was already known: he was a cold-blooded serial killer. "The force would just consume me," Bundy told her. "Like one night, I was walking by the campus and I followed this sorority girl. I didnt want to follow her. I didn't do anything but follow her and that's how it was. l'd be out late at night and follow people like that.. I'd try not to, but l'd do it anyway." Elizabeth "Liz" Kloepfer, Ted Bundy's longtime girlfriend and former fiancé, disappeared from the public eye nearly 40 years ago. Before she did, she wrote a book, The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy, detailing her turbulent, six-year relationship with the infamous serial killer, who had led a double life as a loving partner and a heinous serial killer. (Bundy eventually admitted to killing 36 women across seve...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
