DOCUMENTARY SERIES - ANATOMY FOR BEGINNERS - Digestion
This four-part series profiles Professor Gunther von Hagens' work that is considered by many to be shocking and controversial. However, anatomist Gunther von Hagens believes that the dissections he performs on human bodies lays bare the intricacy of the human design. During each episode, von Hagens carries out a human dissection and focuses on a different set of anatomical systems: movement, circulation, digestion and reproduction. In tonight's episode, Professor von Hagens dissects a woman in front of a live audience to reveal the digestive system. (From the UK, in English) (Part 3) MA (A,N) CC WS

If you haven't heard about this/seen this yet then check it out tonight. It's on at 10:30 on SBS. It really is fascinating, though a little disturbing at the same time. Really makes you appreciate what is inside us. Much better to actually see how your insides work than just abstractly conceptualise it.
