I swear, you will thank me at the end. Or not at all, since today we are dealing with a simple question: does an individual remain conscious after being decapitated, and if so, for how long? Obviously, I am not going to turn into a doctor, even for the duration of an episode! But in History, especially French, it is a question that makes sense! After all, during the French Revolution, the guillotine was presented as a more humane and less painful form of execution than the others. But was it true? ➤ Did you like this video?
