Latest in Reality TV?
LONDON (Reuters) - A British television channel is seeking a terminally ill volunteer to donate their body after death so it can be filmed as it decomposes.
Channel 4, which in 2002 broadcast Britain's first public autopsy for 170 years, said the program was being made in association with London's Science Museum and would be a unique experiment.
"We hope the experts can learn more about the processes involved and that the data collected by the project can help forensic pathologists in murder investigations," said Simon Andreae, head of science and education at the publicly funded Channel 4.
Richard Shepherd, president of the British Association in Forensic Medicine, will lead a team of scientists supervising the project.
The body will be held in a secret location while being filmed for the program, provisionally titled "Dust to Dust."
It will be the first experiment of its kind in Britain, where scientists currently use pig bodies to study rates and means of decomposition. Their research is used by police investigators to help determine the time of death when a body is found.

There's not much else a corpse can do except decompose
The sad thing is that if it was shown people would still tune in.

Shameful ....masquerading a morbid necrophiliac show as "legitimate" science just to attract the "disturbed" viewer market. I hope the show is DOA (

I heard about that. The face and head were remarkably well preserved from his practices, but the rest of the body was virtually falling apart. He must have used something to sanitize it too.

I hope so.She died from TB. The story is actually more involved. He repeatedly robbed the grave until the sister had the bodychopped up into 7 pieces and secretly spread to unknown locations.

I thought in another story they exhumed the parts after the guy died and placed them in one grave again?

I'll have to look for the article, but some german morgue worker was caught having sex with corpses. He confessed to doing it on 28 different occasions. I hope he used a condom.
