They are the reason so many amazing people dedicate their lives to caring for orphans and children in foster care. They are also the reason we not only need adoption, but also we need it to be the best version of it possible…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The love and dedication from Priscilla and her husband David for a starving boy is going to make you shed some tears today- so keep a few tissues handy.

When the amazing woman saw a photo of baby Ryan who weighed only 8-lbs at 7 years of age, but now, because of her love and sincerity, Ryan and his life has taken a positive turn. David and Priscilla have 2 biological sons of their own, but they decided to open their hearts and home to a little girl from Russia named McKenzie.

The 3-year-old had Down syndrome and a heart condition, but the Morses had no problem with that. They thought they were done adopting, but then, few years later, Priscilla saw a photo she couldn’t forget. The photo was of a starving boy so malnourished, he looked more like a baby than a 6-year-old.

The boy, they later named Ryan, was literally wasting away in an orphanage and wasn’t supposed to live long unless someone adopted him and Priscilla decided that she would be the one. She felt God calling her to bring Ryan home, “I don’t know how to describe it, but you look at them and you just know,” Priscilla said. “We had decided long ago that if we were going to adopt, it was going to be the kids no one was coming for – kids in Third World countries who are locked away in orphanages.”

Thankfully her husband David too was onboard with saving baby Ryan, and the couple began the process of another international adoption. Several months later, everything was set for Ryan to come live with the family, and Priscilla flew to Bulgaria, ready to bring her new son home.

Ryan was 7 years old, and weighed only 8 pounds. “He was bones and skin,” Priscially recalled. “He literally looked like a skeleton. The first thing that went through my head was, ‘he’s going to die’.” Ryan had many medical problems, like cerebral palsy, club feet, scoliosis, and microcephaly — a birth defect that affects brain growth and head size. Getting him prompt medical attention was crucial for any hope in saving baby Ryan. Once they were back in the United States, Priscilla and David rushed Ryan to the Children’s Hospital.

“I had never in my life seen doctors look at a child and burst into tears,” Priscilla says. She said, “They all said there was no way that this kid should still have been alive.” Ryan spent a month in the hospital and Doctors weren’t sure he was going to make it, they found he suffered from refeeding syndrome, a condition making it difficult for his body to digest nutrients it wasn’t used to consuming.

Instead, he’d just throw his food back up. “It was intense for a long time,” Priscilla says, “and I think you kind of guard yourself against just how serious it is so you can push through every day and do what you have to do.”

Even with all the challenges and special medical needs, the Morse never gave up on saving baby Ryan. Doctors fitted Ryan with a feeding tube, which helped him get the nutrition he so desperately needed. Soon he grew stronger, and the doctors were able to address other conditions of Ryan’s and after some years, his complete transformation was amazing! Ryan’s clubbed feet and spinal rod placement were rectified and proper nutrition helped him come out of his newborn clothing to a child’s size 5/6.

He also made significant gains with speech and communication and now has a full range of motion in his hands. Priscilla says Ryan’s doctors and therapists are hopeful the boy will continue to thrive and reach his full potential. It’s going to be a long process,” she says. “Seven years of neglect can’t be undone in a day.”

Although Ryan still has a long road ahead of him, his progress is proof enough to never give up. “Everyone deserves a family,” Priscilla says. “No one should be written off if they have special needs just because it’s going to be hard. Life is hard anyway, so you adjust and you learn, because these kids – they are so worthy.”

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
