Anatomy for beginners (docu)

Here is a documentary in which an anatomist dissects the body of a dead man, live in front of cameras and audience. It maybe be disgusting and even unbearable for some people so I don't advise you to watch if you don't usually like to see stuff like that.

One question that came to my mind while watching was "was it necessary ?", I thought they were looking for sensationalism, but then I realised that I did learn some things, about the spinal chord and the nerves for example. One problem I had for the first 15 minutes, is that I couldn't stop but think about that dead man, about who he was, how he ended, and how we will all end.. Also, it made me remember how life is precious and complex, a real chef d'oeuvre.

I would like to know if religious people despise that documentary?

It's in 4 parts I think, and I have only watched the 1st part. Again, don't watch if you don't feel like it.

One day when the zombies rise up, they will have their revenge!

Was a real shame that gunther von hagensdied of Parkinson's a few years back.

One thing is sure.

Humans and other animals have been contemplating death for many ages.

And many don't have the luxury of watching a long dead man be dissected.

They gotta watch a live man be dissected.

We're still around so somehow people find a way to cope with the knowledge.
