Yeah... not sure I’m buying the story about the roommate. Which, on it’s own is still pretty disturbing.

thebigtabu, it does make you wonder not sure if I believe Ben was innocent
Player #25564024

I've always curious why Ben Franklin was on the $100 bill even though he wasn't a former President.

Autopsies are performed all the time now. We want to pass judgment on our ancestors. How will we be judged in the future?

🤔 Whoa! Just reading the first couple comments, I'm not alone in thinking either this question/ explanation is off, or there needs be further research into Franklin's life! It's very disturbing.

Steve, He lied about the "savage" Native Americans to prevent other countries from treaties with them. He was more like Epstein in his personal life.

Black people were used as cadavers. This country has a long history of the enbondaged being used as cadavers After emancipation, Black cemeteries were robbed for cadavers. Read Medical Apartheid, the Medical field developed on the bodies of Black people. America's hidden history at it's finest.

Schrizz504, Ben had to know what was up.

I’m not condoning or condemning, but if not for this young roommate and others like him over history, we wouldn’t know what we know now about human anatomy and medical science. Because of what occurred over the decades and centuries, we are medically advanced to the point where our lives are saved everyday.

Cat Woman, George Washington s teeth were not wooden either but the teeth from slaves.

I’m not commenting on innocence or guilt, but I tire of people judging their ancestors. Do try to keep in mind that our descendants will judge us, too. They will probably be angry about how much water we wasted, when they get 12 oz. of water a day—and that has to go for cooking, too!
How about a nice, long shower everyone?

Cat Woman, thank you for this disturbing piece of history and the reference book. Appalling and unforgivable.

I would have to question Mr. Franklin's sanity to let this illegal act to be done at his home. I believe grave robbing is a crime not to mention not having consent from family to preform the incisions not to mention the way they deposed of the remains after they were done with them. I wonder who these six children were knowing there was more but disposed of already. Just maybe they were pedophiles among other things.
