I think I saw a show on this once. They took muscle samples from the dude's leg. Imagine taking a tree corer: 
But instead of wood, that was raw steak. 
So nasty. |

Shit, even my lazy ass would have a hard time doing that. But, I'm also currently unable to make $18k in 70 days, so maybe I'd give it a shot

Does 100% oxygen and no gravity have an effect on whether the body atrophies faster? Also, i'm sure there are gonna be some do then sue for getting pressure sores afterwards.

BTDT
Paralyzed from the neck down for 4 months+ in 2012. Re-learning to crawl and eventually walk was a bitch. Hardest thing I've ever done. And my bills from Rush and Mayo were a lot more than $18,000. 
Muscular atrophy is a frightening thing. |

When my sister inlaw was in med school they were given a copy of a US Army study. The Army asked for volunteers to stay in bed X months. By the time it was over the volunteers were regretting their decision. Loss of muscle, weakness, etc.

If you literally have to lay down for 70 days... not even allowed to sit up let alone go take a dump like a normal person, no way is that worth it.

I saw a show on this. There's a control group that actually gets to exercise on a treadmill, vertically. So your weight is not on your legs.

This story is from 09.18.13
Are they still looking for people? Or did the OP just catch up to the internet? http://www.forbes.com/sites/crossingborders/2013/09/18/nasa-will-pay-18000-to-watch-you-rest-in-bed-for-real/ |

Basically, are you willing to confine yourself to a 3x8 cell for 2 months?
ETA: "You’re probably wondering how it all works out with taking a trip to the bathroom while on extended bed rest, right? NASA has it covered. In order to ensure that test subjects can remain at a six-degree head tilt at all times, they are able to shower in a specially modified shower gurney." Fuck that...you have to be tilted the entire time..no thanks. |

It's awesome that NASA is still spending money on ermahgerd space will kill you studies. It's not like we don't know about working out in space. Or doing cardio without running. Let's spend more money. |

I saw what laying around in bed did to my friend who had ALS.
His skin started to rot and even though the blankets were changed everyday and he bathed he smelled like meat left on the porch. His whole room did. But I dunno a small stint of rot for 17k, hmmmm... How much .22 can I get with that? |
