You’ll be able to watch a live autopsy in Manchester next month

If you’ve ever wanted to watch a live autopsy then we’ve got just the thing for you, as the VIVIT experience comes to town next month.

VIVIT is the world’s only live post mortem experience, in which you get a rare chance to see what our insides look like after we pass.

The autopsy isn’t with a real human body, instead it’s a life-size synthetic cadaver with an anatomy that is of swine origin – identical in size and structure to a human one.

A group of doctors, experts and PhD researchers will be there to dissect the body, while you embark on a mission to solve the mystery of how the ‘John Doe’ died.

Starting with the opening of the cranial cavity, the dissection explores the inner structures of the head, nasal cavities and neck area, before working down the body to the thoracic cavity, which is peeled back as the heart, lungs and diaphragm are explored.

It then gets to the vertebral cavity, which is opened so the spinal cord can be removed, before the digestive tract is examined in detail, revealing the functions of the stomach, liver, gallbladder, colon and anus.

If this sounds right up your street, head over to the website here for more info and to grab tickets – it’s happening on Saturday April 18th at Manchester Metropolitan University.
