The passages that I found important
Des Destinées de l’Ame is a meditation on the soul and life after death, written by Arsène Houssaye in the mid-1880s.
He is said to have given it to his friend, Dr Ludovic Bouland, a doctor, who then reportedly bound the book with skin from the body of an unclaimed female patient who had died of natural causes.
In its statement, Harvard said its handling of the book had not lived up to the “ethical standards” of care and that in publicising it, it had on occasion used a “sensationalistic, morbid and humorous tone” which was not appropriate.
It apologised and said it had “further objectified and compromised the dignity of the human being whose remains were used for its binding”.
Make me into a drum skin please
Wallet so I can be close to money and live on as a capitalist object, thus achieving the natural state of whatever whatever.
I want to be a pair of pants
I sure hope no billionaires get any ideas from this
