I totally love this program and have watched it on and off for a few years now...
I LOVE the red polymer veined body's and the smile and passion that Professor Gunther von Hagens has every time he shows you a procedure. (He carries out the public autopsies so to speak)It takes a bit to get over what he does..but once you have..I find it fascinating and teachers me a lot about how you should look after you body inside and out.

Does any one else really like this TV program..? or am I alone

This is the one that was on TV last night here in WA.

would any of you mob donate your body for surgical students to obtain

their rating. I am opfay with it but cannot see the revilement

of the big black hat. That's "OVERKILL" on body battering.

Yes I would ...when your dead you are dead...nothing precious about that (apart from the feelings of the family)

At least with these type of documentary TV shows...I get to see really inside the body and how it works...so I know if I drink smoke or eat crap...I can actually see what happens inside of me...instead of being ignorant of these matters now I am well informed and TOTALLY responsibly for what I eat and drink. I can see the size of my lungs deflated and inflated and know (actually see ) what benefits there are from exercise. It may not be right for you JM...but for me it opens up a whole new world of understanding myself from the inside out.

and as to the hat...goodness....whats with people and the wholes in their ear lobes...whats with the boy down the road and his black silky pants that hang with chains half way down his ass....or the girls with all the same hair colour and same style hair cut...I have long blonde hair past me ass...whats with that (hate hairdressers)...all people are different...maybe this guy is a bit balding and having cameras in the room freaks him out a little so he wears a hat..

Thank god we are all different...and me with a tad of face blindness could never get on in this life

I like the bit where they do the artwork on the hot chic.
Can I have that job?
I wouldn't be all that good at it but I think I would enjoy the work.
And I would be willing to put in overtime learning it if I had to.

Any way you strut it - combine that hat with the Yerman accent and a scapel in his hands and I am thinking Nightmare on Elm St!

Fascinating show but I am a tad squemish so never quite make it through a whole episode. Call me weird (others do ) but I can actually smell the ether/themaldahide when watching this show and it makes me queezy also. Yes I am a complete wuss.


Ha ha - not even nekkid hotties getting scribbled over can make me stay for a whole ep.

yeah I agree ! what a great show & very educational .......
I would love to give the naked chick the kiss of life
A little unsettlling though , the dead guy reminds me of our commodore,
and dead lady looked like my misses on a good day.
but seriously , what a fantastic way to be remembered after death & good on those people who donate their bodies to further science , I dont think I would have the guts.

This show is awesome, beings out the serial killer in me. Amazed this is on free to air good on sbs, but bloody weird times we live in. This next generation of kiddies are going to be pretty hardcore, repeated exposure to this and porn, Ted Bundies going to look like a pussy.
