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 real human bodies, lay bare the intricacy of 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.
