Few know his name, because he was remembered by his generation, like a weirdo showing newborn premature babies to the public. But Martin Coney, that was his name, did all this not for fun, but for a good purpose.

Here is a man who saved millions of babies around the world





So, the man was the first inventor of cuvettes for premature babies: before they were doomed. However, he decided correct by developing a special apparatus for caring for them. Alas, the machines were too expensive, the hospitals simply did not see the point in them, so the babies continued to suffer.

It was then that Martin decided to take matters into his own hands. He opened exhibition of premature babies. Yes, yes, the exhibits were real babies that unhappy parents handed over to Martin. People went there look at how the laws of nature change. Of course, visiting was paid. As a result ... with the proceeds, Martin could support everything show, paying for both nurses and electricity (his machines consumed on some incredible scale).



As a result, most of the children at the exhibition survived. The parents begged Martin to help them by taking their child to the show. So time the man even opened a few more exhibitions. Only for the forties years of the last century, his popularity faded away: Martin began to be accused and lack of humanism and the opening of a human zoo.

The man himself actively tried to sell his devices hospitals, and then completely transferred them there for free. As a result: thanks to him, millions of children around the world have received a chance at life.



As for Martin himself, he lived out his last days in poverty. Contrary to criticism, he did all this not for profit, but purely out of good intentions.
