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 programme 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.
