Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 10/29/2006 7:38 pm An interesting and unusual topic for a coin. I believe the guillotine was abandoned around 1962(?), didn't know about the death penalty in general. I do remember seeing on The History Channel the last person to lose his head in France. Someone had taken a movie of it from a room several stories up from the event and it's been circulating around ever since. Rather intriguing: the blade went down and the remaining body, without its head leaped off the platform in a major spasm. Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 10/30/2006 07:53 am I did not realise that 25 april 1792 , Nicolas Pelletier was the first to be loosing is head in the Guillotine Nor that the thing was invented by a doctor Guillotin Nor that before that the executioner could choose from hanging,quartering,burning at the stake,the wheel (whatever that may be ) and only nobles could be decapitated http://www.ladocumentationfrancaise...lotine.shtml Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 10/30/2006 08:04 am Up to the abolition of the death penalty only the firing squad for traitors and the guillotine for criminals were available The last to be beheaded was Hamida Djandoubi 10 septembre 1977 http://www.ladocumentationfrancaise...cation.shtml Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 10/30/2006 9:33 pm I'm not at all certain which method of execution I'd prefer if I found myself in a position to be executed. Both are fast and relatively painless. The current trend in the US is death by lethal injection which I find absolutely intolerable since I can't stand needles (I hate shots, blood withdrawals, etc.). If there ever was a deterrent for me to not commit a capital offense, it is fear of "the needle". I think I might prefer the guillotine over shooting since there is a theory that the severed head remains conscious for a number of seconds (15?) before lack of oxygen to the brain causes unconsciousness before death. I read or heard someplace that this theory was tested once (during the French Revolution?) when a willing subject promised to blink as long as he could following execution. It was reported that he blinked furiously for about 15 seconds. Not that I'm volunteering, but if offered the choice (with no recourse, of course such as a reprieve), I might be willing to test the theory with a little variation: since I'm a ham radio operator, I know Morse Code and could blink out something like my name (..-./-.//-..). At least for a few moments, I'd answer the question for myself. Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 10/31/2006 07:38 am Yes I read the theory that for a short while like 10 seconds the eyes could tell the brain that it is your body that just jerked back and fell dead from the Guillotine Belgium has recently adopted Euthanasia Doctors had to be trained because you do not want the dead body jerking around allover the bed Two things are required Relaxing the muscles and stopping the heart A few months ago there was a public outcry on television ; Belgium ran out of pentotal The next day some willing vendors stepped forward Report this Post to the Staff

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 11/03/2006 5:51 pm The image of Ben Franklin isn't very flattering, but I agree on Mme Curie's hair. Looks like they used the photo negative and transferred it directly to the coin. Nice job. Also, Ben Franklin was a friend of France, but even more so, he was a friend to French women.
