Ep. 227: The Weight of the Soul

For centuries, scientists and doctors have been asking the big questions about the human body, and striving for ways to better understand these meat sacks we live in. Some, have asked less important questions than others. This week, Hannah tells Katy about Dr. Duncan MacDougal, who asked, "does the human soul have a measurable weight?" The girls discuss the validity of this question, MacDougall's questionable experiences, other people's opinions of dogs, a possible Reaper in disguise, and so much more!  So pour your drinks, hug your dog, and join us for this Scientific Mystery!
