Show notes
A medical student sets out to recreate his decapitated fiancée by building her a new body made of Manhattan Sex Workers. In this episode I explore grief, feminism, objectification of women, big pharma, and the crack epidemic. For the true horrors, I get into the crack epidemic in American that started in the 1980's and how mandatory sentences have only hurt urban communities.
