A long and ancient practise of over three thousand years started from China and resides in many parts of the world today. How did this ancient tradition spark discussions surrounding its ethics...We will look at how some have seen it as a cash grab and are even willing to sacrifice human life so that the end may justify the means. Why do people cherish this old practise today? Check out our website: https://www.thecuriouspodcast.blog/

Content warning: This episode will discuss the concept of death and how the human mind rationalizes it, some listeners may find this triggering. We  also discuss gender and society in relation to the tradition and how it is practised. How the human mind processes events differs all around the world and we touch on this factor throughout. This is not a deep dive episode.
