[QUOTE="net1, post: 68942"] Channel 4 is looking for participants for a new documentary which will show their body decompose when they die. The controversial documentary will be the first of its kind in the UK - where human decomposition has never been studied before. Channel 4 said the results of Dust to Dust could help forensic pathologists in their investigation. The experiment will take place in a "secure and secret location" and would need full consent of the donor and their family. The channel has not yet started looking for donors for the programme, which follows the controversial screening of an anatomy on Channel 4 by Gunther von Hagens. Channel 4 Director of Television, Kevin Lygo, said today: "This is a scientific experiment. Death isn't a subject we should avoid. It's an absolutely valid subject to examine death and see what happens to the body. "The scientific community admits that they are woefully uninformed about what happens to the body when somebody dies. "It is quite early days yet and we haven't got a donor. "It has to be completely above board. There will be nothing salacious about it." Channel 4 is also to screen a programme called Anatomy for Beginners, a four-part series where Gunther von Hagens performs human dissection, filmed in a lecture theatre in Germany. [/QUOTE]
