Anatomy for beginners

Posted: January 28th, 2005 | Author: | Filed under: Vintage | | Comments Off

Wow!

Anatomy for beginners.

Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea (don’t follow the link if you are the least bit squeamish…really you won’t like it).

This is what I call ground breaking television. Live anatomical dissection. Channel 4, 11pm.
I’m not bothered by the gore aspect, but I can’t get my head around the fact that what is being chopped up was once a living breathing person. I find myself wondering about them.

I can’t quite formulate what I mean into words.

If you can, take a look. It’s very interesting and very well presented.

P.S. Prof. Von Hagens does remind me of the Gestapo Officer from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I think it’s the hat.

    Like you, I think this is brave, but brilliant TV.

    It’s done very scientifically, but with respect for the people who the specimens once were. It’s very interesting & the guy who does the exlplaining is very clever and very interesting!

    Apparantly Von Hagens met the people he is dissecting several times before they died!
