      "The woman, who will not be identified, signed a form a year before she died saying she wanted her body to be left to the doctor, a former university lecturer who pioneered "plastination", a preservation process for corpses." Imagine her surprise, had she been able to look into the future, to find she was not going to be preserved, but rather dissected in public! :wtf: Even more surprising, her parents are supporting this? :confused:

          I managed to watch the autopsy pregram and thought it was done in completely the worng taste. Firstly that moron of a *Doctor* should never have done it, he made it more like a butchers shop than an educational programme. It was simply another publicity stunt for himself IMHO. If a true working pathologist with all his marbles did it to a willing donor, i.e. not someone who donated their body to science and then have it publicly dissected and without a shred of dignity. Autopsys should be kept within the medical community for trainee doctors. We should be informed through schooling about the *basics* of anatomy, not through public freak shows like that. As for that guys plastination, its bad taste anyway even if they wern't real bodys.

          We brought out this new and very similar version of our expensive software because the old version was......old....It's a good enough excuse for Microsoft so its fine for us.

            What a deadbeat. His 'art' is people's bodies ? The families allow this ?

              It was done, despite what will be said officially, to gather support for "the doctor's" current exhibition of bits of dead people. I dind't watch it - it didn't appeal to me in the slightest, and whilst I strongly disaproove of that as much as allowing real-life murders on-screen, the last time I checked there was a "free speech" right on the books in this great country of ours. Next week the Celebrity Autopsy episode will be broadcast where they will disect a recently departed celeb (you can vote for the body you want to see desecrated too). In the spring they even have a Big Brother style program, where you get to vote out the worst corpses each week. The last paragraph was a piss take btw, though all perfectly legal. If however the head of Channel Four had not authorised the programme to be aired, it would have been illegal. Go figure. They call it Sensational TV - thankfully this one went by largely unoticed. Free speech - everyone wants it but no-one wants anyone else to have it. :|

Hey man, he can go on talking about how much he likes slashing dead people all day & i don't give a rat's ass. Heck, he can even talk about it whilst making slashing motions in the air with a scalpel, though this might be public endangerment if he does it on a crowded street. But actually getting a crowd together to watch him actually slash a corpse and actually pass organs around for them to gawk at... well, that might be covering a bit more ground than just speech.
