The Guillotine. Most Humane Execution Method

- Is it possible to live without a head? Some living beings have such a superpower. For example, a cockroach can go without its head for about three weeks. And a severed snake head can continue to function for about twelve hours. Scientists wondered how other animals react to decapitation. For example, mammals. Therefore, in twenty eleven, Dutch scientists decided to experiment on rats. To their great surprise, they really detected the animal’s brainwave activity after cutting off its head. This raises the question: does the same thing happen to a person? Of course, no such decapitation experiments were officially conducted on humans. But there are some recollections of eyewitnesses concerning guillotine executions. They can serve as an argument for the theory that the brain is capable of functioning even after death. In this video, we’ll try to figure out: what happens to a person during decapitation? Is a severed head capable of regaining consciousness? And most importantly, can a person survive decapitation?

As someone with a head, I found this kind of disturbing.
I too, have a head! The world is truly small.
@@psychocuda it sure is! Hey! We should hangout sometime!
Keep your head safe bois.
The "head" game was strong back then.
As someone who doesnt get head, I also find this disturbing
We were on some WILD shit back then. It's still crazy to me that people could pull up and just watch someone's head get chopped off.
People love watching horror and action movies with a lot of killing today aswell, back then depending on the time period there was no such thing.
people had no tv , no radio, no gaming consoles, no mobile phones.
and in many cases executions were absolutely deserved. it was pure justice right before them.
Beatings, lynchings, stonings, shootings, whippings, stabbings, hangings... no wonder every old derrougotype photo you see of people from the 19th century makes 'em look so sad, angry, constipated, or artificial. Death was a public event back then I guess. Plus, no air conditioning, or indoor plumbing.
That would piss me off too.
@@boredape1257 Most of that "pure justice", was actually, "purley just-us". I sure would not have enjoyed living back then. Kind of simular to the old saying about, "not missing something, you never had to begin with."
Lol. People would go today too. Time period has nothing to do with it.
Imagine seeing the head of a person on the ground, looking down. You say something and then it looks at you. That would be spine-chilling.
Pain is good. Pain lets you know that you're not dead yet.
That’s would be terrifying
@@ericschneider8524 If you take Eastern philosophies then life = pain in more or less strong appearance.
@@ericschneider8524pain is weakness leaving the body
Imagine, you pull the plug from the socket and the bulb lights up again... Impossible!
It's completely true that death is not instant, it's well known in the Middle East where they still practice beheadings regularly. I lived in Saudi Arabia for a year as a student, I saw a few videos where, after decapitation the camera would be pointed at their face and their eyes were looking around. I don't mean they were jolting around like an unconscious reflex, they were consciously looking around (probably thinking "omg did that just happen, why am I still alive"). What people forget is that even though the blood is instantly cut off, there is still blood and oxygen left in the brain and consciousness remains for 5 seconds at the very least, that's when the eyes stop moving anyway. Who knows how long the brain cells live long enough to keep thinking.
What do civilians in saudi arabia think of beheading?
That’s insane
Isn’t it painful for them?
@@kateofone not really, just because the eyes move around for couple seconds doesn’t mean at all they feel pain or agony. Beheading (not how Isis do but how Saudi Arabia do) might look horrible but for the convicted it is the best quick death. Much much much better than bullet, electric, poison and hanging.
I don’t really know what the hell westerns were thinking when they invented electric execution. That is just brutal beyond imagination. Electric chair is still active in some USA states, crazy.
No they weren't alive. Just because they were looking around dosent mean there were copious. As soon as your spinal cord is severd you die. Instantly. You brain may still fire but your life is over.
Imagine still being conscious and trying to breathe but cant.
Well, the pain of not breathing is on our chest. Im not sure that would be the case, maybe just pain around our neck and crazy head spin.
@@natsirhasan2288 lol it’s a freaky thought isn’t it?
But in their mind they have a few seconds to say goodbye to their body.
The horror is the conscious head without a body. There is no question of needing to breathe, because it has no lungs to require air.
@@theo9952 an off of body experience lol
There were a few actual experiments with people who were to be executed by guillotine. The scientist asked the men before their executions if they would be willing to participate in the experiment, only having to blink after they were decapitated, as an answer to a "yes-no" question the scientist would be showing them. They were still conscious for a 20-40 seconds after decapitation, since the brain doesn't instantaneously shut down. If I remember correctly the names of the executed were to be written in history in exchange for participating in the experiment.
interesting
i feel so sorrow just reading this
Quick count how many times I blink!!!
Who?
That's really how it should've been done (also putting a cushioned plate or a bag right underneath the head so it doesn't bang against the floor after severing)
Idk if it was done though it seems likely but also seems like it would be more popular if it did happened...also I think the shock of the impact/cutting of your whole neck would leave you in too much of a shock to try answer anything... you'd just be tripping the last seconds or your life
I had a dream about being in a guillotine once. The worst part was that when my head fell, it hit nose first on the ground. My neck felt like a bad sunburn the whole way around. 5 seconds and the dream ended.
Woah. Past life experience?? Sounds so accurate but I can’t relate because I don’t think my past life ever got guillotined
People don’t typically dream of themselves dying. I call shenanigans.
No one thinks about the person's nose hitting the ground first. It's like if someone slams a door into your face.
@@HomeDefender30 I had a dream where I died in a car accident. It was terrifying and it impacts my life everyday while in traffic.
@samlee1890 just don't worry, death is a MUST for every LIVING
People would fight about who would be first to be executed because the blade would be so sharp at the first so you would feel almost nothing. After couple of people the blade would dull and then they would have to cut your head a couple of times to get it off. Gruesome.
Damn 🙂
Bro thats brutal as hell.
Just feel head hit bucket and be conscious a few minutes
Elite own us with social security numbers,there about to bunker down. And cause world havoc
That’s just not true lol
I laughed when you included the doctor who said you could get your hand back but not your arms when just a few years ago they took the arms of vegetative state guy and put them on a conscious living human. And now he has arms he can use because his got torn up from an IED. Great research
Yeah I was gonna say, that's an inaccuracy because plenty of people have had pretty much everything transplanted.
Same thing with a hands transplant for a dude, the previously guy liked basketball and the guy who got his hands was pretty good at basketball, muscle memory?
A Vegetative state? Like California?
@@apcyl9920 muscle MEMORY....😂😂 memory being the operative word....its in HIS memory not the hand ffs...😂😂😂....thanx for the laugh bro..😂😂😂
He said it cuts off nerves, not the ability to use your arms. The nerves do regrow but extremely slowly over a period of years/ decades. You'll eventually get some nerve endings rewired.
Charlotte Corday assassinated Marat. It was a CARPENTER who lifted her head and slapped her face - not the executioner, who was the famous hereditary executioner of Paris, Sanson. Sanson was so mortified by the incident that he published a written apology confirming the ‘slapper’ wasnt a member of the execution team but a carpenter employed to make repairs to the equipment. Thanks to Sanson the carpenter spent 3 months in prison.
Pretty sure that you can probably get this info from wikipedia if you bother to do some basic research.
And by the way, the incident is infamous because Corday’s face took on an angry expression AFTER she was slapped.
Corday was NOT a "noblewoman". I THINK she was a prostitute, but I'm not sure
After watching gore-related videos online, the worst is when beheading is not executed "well" like the head is still barely intact and the body of the victim still faught the sensation, the legs and arms are moving, the thought of someone feeling all that pain is beyond words..
Most humane is not a method that comes with any risk of being botched. It's opiate overdose that's the easiest way to go.

A head transplant sounds like a real life body horror story.
My guess is true head transplants won't be widely available until medical nano-technology is perfected. Stitching together nerve fibers at that scale seems much more achievable for nano-bots than a human hand or clunky robotic arm.
Meanwhile in our other world, Earth 2, Bio-tech advances. The first human head is transplanted with stem cells programmed to repair and replace nerve connections. But in that universe, in their reality they're the original, and we're Earth 2. Oh wait. What about 3 and 4, 5?...

Interesting… given if your BP drops enough in a normal person, you lose consciousness immediately and faint because there’s not enough in the brain. Not sure how it would work in this case where there is almost zero pressure.

@@alwaysbadideas rear naked chokes knock out people in seconds when applied properly. So I don't see why a human head would be conscious for any longer.

I always think about things like this. My brother and father died in a boating accident by drowning. I figure after their lungs were filled with water and they were under the water, they must have survived in that state for at least a couple of minutes. Kind of like when you hold your breath, you do not immediately die. It takes time for your body to use up the o2. So they must have had that couple of minutes where they knew they were dying. Where they could think of things. Think of my mother and my other brother and I. Think of what was to come for us when we found them. A couple of minutes of terror, knowing you are dying, and you cannot do anything about it.
Once their lungs fill with water, they only remain conscious for about 15 seconds. When you hold your breath, your lungs are still full of oxygen that your body can extract and use, which is why you retain consciousness for minutes instead of seconds.
I actually drowned I remember it being very scary but as soon as I breathed in I passed out there was no gasping or anything I just breathed in it burned for 1 second and I was out. I woke up to my uncle giving me mouth to mouth and me spitting up water between that there is nothing. I was a dumb kid that just decided to jump in the water towel and all even though I couldn't swim. I was about 6 when it happened.
That's called 'sakratul maut'
Its around 1 minute t'ho and it's pretty painful

Maximilien Robespierre, witnessed a lot of decapitation. He can describe it precisely how the decapitated head "reacts" after guillotine, if he is still alive today
Lol..Guy .. Himself was guillotined
He can even give a first person account of getting beheaded
They placed him face up so he could see the blade coming at him
If he is still alive today. What drugs are you on.
@@cliffa2901 It must be a computer or something, you know?

Germany used the guillotine during the Nazi era. Germans actually executed much more people with the guillotine than the French.
"A decapitated head can continue to see for approximately 20 seconds. So, whenever I have one that's gawking, I always hold it up so it can see its body. It's a little extra I throw in for no added charge." James Venamun (The Gemini Killer)
If you have watch any real life gore videos that are out there (especially nowadays) you know that when a head is cut off its not that rare for the eyes to move or even mouth open and close it's actually common so if it's happening as fast as that then of course there's gonna be movement or even "consciousness" until the head/body catches up to what just happened not to mention the amount of adrenaline coursing through the body at the time... this doesn't shock me at all tbh
Parts of the brain stop functioning and die at different rates. Vision goes first then awaken consciousness and so on. Some parts of your brain can still function up to an hour after death. I just read an article that human brains can still process sounds for over 5 minutes after death.
@@mikentx57i've heard and read the same thing. There's nothing instantaneous about decapitation. I'm sure you're still fully consciousnand feeling all pain for a solid 10 seconds. And that's just the start of the process.
where do you even find these videos?
@@abuUthmaniDarknet I suppose
please, WHY are you people watching real life gore? 🤢😰
Yes...I know this is YT but decapitations are INCREDIBLY BLOODY. That was also part of the Guillotine's "charm". Any one who saw it....would certainly NEVER forget it.
The pictures in this video are FAR too CLEAN! There would be blood pouring from both the severed head and neck!
Guillotine victims did not reoffend. Lawyers could not appeal. Jail guards had not formed their union. Register and vote in every election and support your county sheriff.

Instead of imprisoning the most cruel murderers, they should be experimented on for the greater good
I think it's fair if we are 101% sur he is the culprit and if the crime(S) are too barbaric or for like genocide/ crime against humanity/ torture & barbaric treatments. Then, yes, they should be use to transplant organs, vivisection and human study.
My main and biggest problem with study perform by mangele and unit 731 was that they were not really driven by scientific research and greater good.
It was purely "medical" torture with all sort of crazies senseless experimentation. No real methodology nor research ethics.
And it was mainly driven by racism and racial theory...
Although, it seems that their results interested enough some powerful people since they (mangele, shirō Ishii, their staff...) were granted full impunity/immunity under the "paperclip operation", so...
1 innocent person is 1 too many for that. Maybe a murderer that volunteers and for incentive, add some kind of compensation towards existing family members.

Considering we now have acheived bridging and restoring functions to a spinal paralyzed human using a wireless chipset embedded in the brain and spine this last month, within 5-10 years paralysis (And yes, the limitations of head translating) will begin to become a thing of the past. We can now restore sensation and motion, using technology. and bonus the patients spinal nerves started renitting themselves using the electrical singlas as a blue print, meaning he may at some point only need the bridge in the same way a heart patient needs a pacemaker. In 30 years I genuinely believe head transplants will be a possible and likely routine procedure for certain members of society.

You're under the curse so you won't get it. It takes a special type of intelligence to understand it. What about the STINK. The very stink of our existence? Here we are supposedly the most intelligent beings on our planet, but we're not even trying to correct our situation? If a robot does come to life, they're eventually going to be calling us idiots. People ignore the stink and try to save beings that would chew them to pieces? You're trapped and you don't even realize it. We should be using technology to try to find ways to stop all torment on our planet. We live in a cursed world, but we are fairly intelligent. I think we should be using that intelligence to build a technology that will help all of us. But, instead, the nut jobs just want more power and focus on who can build the most powerful weapon.
I certainly do acknowledge that something horribly bad has been done here, and we should be trying to fix things for everything that lives. I'm opposed to the curse.

@@benski0573 these are stories though. We know damn well that rear naked chokes can blackout people in seconds, so something that basically functions as the perfect choke but is less effective makes no sense.
Before the invention of the guillotine,people have sometimes been decapitated in battle fields by swords, axes and other handheld sharp weapons during the time man vs man were at each others feet.
And who, do you think, is that one person you're talking to that you believe didn't already know this?
"It's impossible to reconnect because the nerves can only regrow up to one foot." And that's where he just explained, indirectly albeit, how it actually IS possible! So the solution is that nerves don't grow back enough? I literally immediately thought "Well, why can't there just be some kind of application which encourages live nerve growth?" Think stem cells but for nerves. I don't see why that would be "impossible" - only a hurdle to overcome. Alternatively, we may not even fully understand our nervous system to the degree we think we do, so what may seem impossible with our limited understanding quickly becomes possible once we discover something new.
The video asks “is it possible to live without a head?” I think the correct question is, “is it possible to live without a body?” We are our brains, so we are literally our head.
What software did you use to create the CGI videos?
Just imagine after being decapitated where you inhale your last inhale and then the air you breathe had no lungs to go into and your brain panicly thinking you inhale into an infinite lung capacity without exhaling and then your eyes rolls back....
I would imagine that it would still be pretty humane in comparison to most other execution methods because severing the spinal cord would mean no pain. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
U arent i talked with an German Doctor who witnessed executions by beheading in an Prison apparently hes pretty old he is think 105 years old. He said like when arround 25% of ur neck is cut ur dead.
sadly, we'll never know. the rolling eyes and angry face chronicles aren't helping to support your assumption that it is instantaneous/painless...
@Mohamed Ahmed Execution in the gas chamber is definitely painful. Thirty years ago, Robert Alton Harris was executed in California's gas chamber, and witnesses saw him writhing and convulsing until he finally went limp. Experts say this execution method involves at least five minutes of conscious, intense pain. He was pronounced dead after 14 minutes. It would have been more humane to shoot him in the head. I'm against capital punishment, except for convicts who would rather be executed than spend the rest of their lives in prison.

I know it has settled in already but we really need to stop calling it a head-transplant when it's actually a body-transplant.
This video failed to mention the most important side effect of decapitation: total loss of blood pressure in the brain. A small drop in blood pressure causes wooziness; like when you stand up too fast after sitting for a while. A large drop causes fainting or passing out. Decapitation opens both jugulars causing all the blood in your head to spurt out with the biggest blood pressure drop possible: 120/80 to 0. There's no way you could stay awake. Adding to that the fact that hypoxia makes you sleepy, the lack of any subsequent oxygen would make it impossible for you to be woken back up; even with smelling salts. Your brain tissue might stay alive for a few minutes, but you'd never achieve consciousness again.
ppl now are questioning whether or not to change the ways of death sentences to the guillotine
There was another guy back in the 1900’s I believe that had cut the head off of a smaller dog and attached it to the body of a bigger dog while the bigger dog head was still there. So he essentially made a two headed dog and the animal lived for a few weeks iirc?

I'm not buying this. Sometimes, I almost black out when I stand up suddenly from lying down - this is from a slight drop in blood pressure. Can you imagine a drastic, negative blood flow from your head instantaneously? Zero blood pressure in one moment - no chance for any conscious thought.
Unless someone came back after being guillotined I’d say we’ll never really know ??
Instant heart death yes! But the brain remains conscious for minutes.
So not instant death!
I think it’s so sad to experiment on the animals. They just living and then getting torture for science…. Really sad
Sometimes I wonder how they consider murder as humane. Like… huh? It doesn’t matter really how you kill them, you still kill them. And I’d rather be murdered when it was illegal than if it was completely legal and okay for people to watch and even celebrate.
The inventer of this guillotine machine,was executed in this machine, considered his invention is inhuman.
Dr Joseph Guillotin was NOT the "inventor" of the guillotine, he merely proposed its use. The machine had already existed, in one form or another, for many years
The belief that the doctor was one of its victims is also incorrect
Love the subtle bgm at the start
Never fall asleep first during a sleepover
Even if guillotine is truly the most humane execution method, I would still be scared!!!
Sergio my man. Cannot wait to hire him.
You damned sadistic bastard!
@@Cjnw go cry peasant nobody will remember you
I love how he just threw out a figure, "Oh, it'll cost $100,000,000."
When the only standard for humane is “quick” a lot of problems start to come up
If I suffered from a spinal disease or injury that caused me to be paralyzed from the neck down and I had the money to pay for it, I would approve for a head transplant surgery be conducted on me. Living paralyzed is no way to live. I would be willing to take that risk. Why not? What would I have to lose if I died? Being paralyzed I would feel as though I were already dead anyhow.
I am a firm believer that head transplantation will become a regular procedure to prolong human life. Once the complete mapping of the spinal cord is achieved can the cord be reattached.
Never gonna happen
The thought of human head transplants anger Me. We only live roughly 70-80 years and the next life starts after we die.
Why would someone want to keep living on earth in a makeshift body. To do what? It’s pointless
I should not be watching this before going to bed...
5:30 After my successful Cochlear Implant two years ago, half the nerves in my face were deceased. But with two months of treatment and almost no (proper) therapy, my face started working again
The head will have nerve condition shortly after death. The 4 second in the mice seems about right. It was done away with because if the blade want sharp enough to make clean quick full sever the pain was intense and it would take time to try again. Deemed inhumane
Just below my left elbow I dropped hedge trimmers on it and almost sliced it completely off but I sliced it open right where my artery was and even after surgery I still can't feel part of my arm almost 2 years later I don't think I'll ever regain feeling in that part of my arm just a little bit lower from where the cut was
I had to hold my laugh when he showed Sergio Canavero. I had only read about him and his proposition, but I realized I had never seen a picture of him, and he looks exactly like the kind of stereotypical foreign accent mad scientist to propose such experiment. Then I looked up his ted talk and damn, his mannerisms and everything, it felt exactly like the beginning of a movie where someone is explaining a life changing experiment and then in the next scene he proceeds to go to his lab and accidentally creates a zombie or a monster or something.
I'd be happy for him to try this experiment. How do I get in touch with him?
A long time ago I watched a video of an actual execution via Guillotine. Someone had setup a motion picture camera on a roof top overlooking the prison courtyard where an execution was going to take place. That execution was faster and more efficient (if that's the right word) than I ever expected. Maybe 30 or 40 seconds from when they entered the courtyard to when they were carrying out the coffin. It was not like the cartoon or Hollywood things where you kneel and put your head in, like your image. His hands were bound behind him, they walked him straight up to what was a table tilted up completely vertical. No hesitation, walked him chest first into the table top, In one smooth action it tilted forward to the flat position, where his head was automatically in the Guillotine. The blade came down the second he was in that position. Head dropped in a basket, and they tilted the table up sideways this time which deposited the headless corpse in a coffin set up beside it. The head was put in the coffin and men immediately carried the coffin out. Literally 30 to 40 seconds total.... When I see stories of botched modern executions, I keep thinking the Guillotine was so much faster, gruesome but faster. No possibility for lingering or extended struggles and pain. I remember when Gary Gilmore chose firing squad for his execution, I thought it was a smart choice compared to the stories about prisoners heads catching fire in the electric chair etc... Even that seems better than getting the needle.
I've seen that video, I think it was one of the last if not the last executions using it. In the french revolution, Robespierre had been beaten and shot in the jaw like the night before and he was in such horrible pain, I'm sure he welcomed the blade, I think I would
@@fredgarv79Robespierre happened in 1790+
There's no way that was filmed.
The film you referred to is of the 1939 Eugene Widemann execution. It was the last guillotine execution in public. From then on, all executions happened within the prison walls.
Given how an amputated limb can give phantom pain, I assume that for mere seconds the brain functions, it should have a great pain shock.
Yeah that's the scary part 😬
Phantom pain of severed limbs comes weeks or months after the limb was lost. It is caused by your brain's ability to always be making new connections. As new connection to cells that beforehand handled pain signals of that limb are once again being triggered your brain thinks it feels pain in the missing limb. As to great pain shock. That would be hard to tell. You often hear of people that been shot or in an explosion and they do not realize they been shot or lost a limb Not for a few seconds anyway. In the accounts I heard of beheaded persons that had eye or facial movements. None describe the face contorting in great pain.
My fear would be having my head cut off and being turned into a cyborg like Robocop.
They say execution by way of guillotine was banned after Marie Antoinette's head started talking and reconnected with her body then went on to reestablish the French monarchy.
Keeping consciousness in a machine would be pretty cool
😂
I just imagined someone who just got decapitated regaining consciousness and feeling unimaginable pain and suffering for what feels like forever, and being unable to communicate that in any way but moving their eyes like that French guy did 1905, and no one has any idea what's going on. I think it's terrifying to think about.
People get in shock if you even cut an artery...
