The myth is that fingernails and hair can grow after you die. What do you think? Is it really possible that we can continue to grow our hair and fingernails after we die? I know it sounds bizarre; I think so too!
According to Scientist at IU, our bodies produce a chemical called hormones. A hormone is the substance that allows our bodies to grow our hair and fingernails. Although, when we die our bodies shut
down and quit producing hormones. So why does it look like they are growing? Snopes say that when we die our bodies dehydrate and our feet, hands, and head shrinks so it makes it look like they are growing. So we do not keep growing hair or fingernails; it is an optical illusion.
Form an in-class survey the data shows that 10 out of 14 students think it is possible for them to continue to grow; however, science shows that it is impossible for them to grow once you die.
