Science Scientists Want to Pay You $19,000 to Stay in Bed 2 Months. Here's Why

[SlyPokerDog]

Scientists are looking for women ages 24-55 willing to stay in bed for 60 days in order to determine how weightlessness affects the human body—and they’re willing to pay you 16,500 euros (around $18,522) to do it.

When astronauts are in space, the weightlessness caused by microgravity can cause changes to human’s bodies that can ultimately lead to bones and muscles breaking down and fluid moving toward a person’s head, according to NASA.

...

Each participant will have their own private room and will do all activities, including showering, eating, and going to the bathroom, while lying down.

I could maybe shower laying down, it would be weird but not impossible.

But not pooping. Don't think I could poop laying down for 2 months.

I've had to do it in Intensive Care. Very degrading no matter how much the nurses tried to tell me not to worry and that it wasn't my fault.
Anyone else been in Intensive Care or confined to a bed for more than a day or two?

They've been doing this study off and on for about a decade afaik, what they're paying has never seemed even remotely close to worth it.

Now I would have no problem spending two months in bed with the Swedish Bikini Team.

But I would probably spend more than the $19k on viagra.
