theres a guy disecting what im hoping is a dummy but it cud possibly be a really old corpse, im saying this due to the content inside!outside it looks fake but inside there is a lot of detail!

it's channel 4 you're watching and the programme it called Anatomy for Beginners. I think it's really interesting...yesterday they did the lungs and blood system..and it was def a real cadaver (dead body) then. Today I agree that it looks more like a dummy but my mum thinks it's not....

wheres me jumpa

the detail inside is too good to be a dummy. yeah its very interesting but shocking none the less. is this on regularly?

tSubh Dearg

As far as I know it's on for only this week and maybe next week too everyday at 11. They're doing all the apects of the human body. The heart was monday, lungs and circulatory system yesterday, intestines today....fairly sure they'll do brain, liver, kidneys and reproductive systems too.

handy for all the biology students anyway!

cant stomach it myself (no pun intended!)

Its definitly a cadaver, but it is a perserved one (hence the stiffness)
Ye, its a cool program.

Whats with the doctors voice today tho! I think he hit puberty! Yeay for him

Yea, some guy donated his body to science... and wanted it to be done on tv. Maybe he knew he was going to die. But it's real for sure....... No complaints about cutting up a body on tv yet "Jerry Springer the Opera" get's 40,000 complaints.

I love the weird German doctor! He was described as a maverick anatomist Personally he reminds me of the bad guy in Who Framed Roger Rabbit with his round glasses as funny hat

This is a really interesting prog. Ye yer man is mad the lungs and heart was gud

wheres me jumpa

mmm reproductive system!

Smellyirishman

^^ LOL ye!


I dont think there is anything wrong with disecting a body on TV, as long as permission was given!

Yeah.. I know, I seen like 2 mins of that show.. then changed it, it;s completly unnessacery to show that on tv.. like it;s fine in labs and the like, but no need for it on tv.. It's just a typical example of C4 trying to hit us with another one of their failed attempts to suprise us with a ShockShow.. load a bollix me thinks.

[i thought it was good. it was done in a tasteful manner(as tasteful as possible). i dont see why people who see something they dont like on tv cant just change the channel. not getting a swing at above comment but i just think there is too much complaining about things like this.

i hate when parents give out about their children seen things on tv they shouldnt have. when i was a child i wasnt let watch tv at times when inappropriate programmes were on!

Adam

well i think its pretty good, biology helpfulness and what not, i just wish that guy would cough or somethin, it sounds like he needs to clear his throat! :rolleyes:

Chucky the tree

hahaha, i love the way they have American pyscho on straight after it aswell!

wheres me jumpa
