How to you imagine your own death? Will it be peaceful? Will it be quick? Will you be old? Our death is a mystery to us. We cast it as an outsider and a thief, robbing us of our breath in an instant without warning. But death is less mysterious than we imagine. Its origins are in our genes and in the way we live our lives. In this series, Dr. Gunther von Hagens, the inventor of plastination and creator of BODY WORLDS, and pathologist Prof. John A. Lee will take you on a journey through the human body to unravel some of the causes of our death. Four lessons:
Blood: This lesson investigates the flow of blood and the possibly disastrous consequences when suffering from arterial sclerosis.
Tumors: One in three people get cancer, one in four die of it. This lesson is concerned with tumours, their nature and why they can be fatal.
Poison: When certain organs in our bodies don't function properly, even usually harmless activities like our intake of food and drink can kill us.
Time: Age marks our bodies both visibly and invisibly. This lesson demonstrates how the interior of our bodies ages, and why our organs eventually stop working.

Gunther von Hagens, geb. 1945, studierte Medizin und promovierte an der Universität Heidelberg. 1977 erfindet er hier die Plastination, eine neuartige Konservierungsmethode für anatomische Präparate. Er patentierte das Verfahren und legte somit den Grundstock für seine weitere Entwicklung. 1994 gründete er das Institut für Plastination, das plastinierte Präparate für Ausbildungszwecke und für die KÖRPERWELTEN liefert. Er ist u.a. Gastprofessor an der Universität New York und Dalian/VR China. Zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Publikationen.
