A unique human dissection show will stream online this month, giving viewers the chance to watch a live post-mortem exam.
The new show comes from the creators of Anatomy Lab Live, a nationally acclaimed dinner and dissection experience which has been a hit with many during its visits to Liverpool.
The Post-Mortem Live is an interactive recreation of a post-mortem using the world’s first semi-synthetic cadaver*.
The unique live show will be broadcast online in five parts with nationally acclaimed human anatomist Samuel Piri and his clinical team as they host the dissection experience.
A statement on the Post-Mortem Live website says: “The human body is a wonderfully complex living machine. The delicate anatomical parts dance to the beat of the vascular like the sophisticated mechanisms of a well-oiled machine.
“Join nationally acclaimed human anatomist Samuel Piri and his clinical team as we embark on a live 5 part dissection experience.
“Utilising VIVIT - the world's first semi-synthetic human cadaver and real organ specimens Sam and his team invite you on an interactive journey through the human body like never before.
“From your armchair, we invite you to come with us as we peel back the skin of the human body and demonstrate the intricate structures that keep you alive.
“With live questions and answers, you can tweet along and ask questions to our team.”
The Post-Mortem Live begins streaming on Monday, May 25 and will continue each day until Friday, May 29.
Each day will see the dissection of a different (semi-synthetic) body including the head and neck, thorax, the heart and the GI tract.
The series begins at 7pm on Monday, May 25 via www.thepostmortemlive.co.uk and it will cost £9.95 for all five sessions, or £1.99 for one.
*According to makers VIVIT, the anatomy is of swine origin and then moved into a life-size synthetic cadaver. No real human anatomy is used in the dissection.
