      had at least four sets of dentures he used throughout his life. Made with brass, lead, gold, animal teeth, and human teeth purchased from slaves

      Well that’s a new fact for me

          I have a feeling a lot of people were back then.

            True, and also a lot of people also weren’t so it’s not really an excuse

              How many weren’t using them due to morality rather than not being able to afford it? I’ll bet not many, if at all.

                I could give examples, but all told, owning people as property has always been evil, and there have always been people who know that simple moral fact

                  I thought the previous comment was specifically referring to using slave teeth, but it actually was saying a lot of people were monsters in general. Societal pressure provides some excuse, but not enough, agreed.
