098087/Z/12/Z: Body Beyond Death

Project Summary:Young adults will create a film with the Museum of London to explore debates about organ donation for live transplant and full-body donation for dissection as part of medical research. How do we feel about what happens to our bodies after death? What are the different cultural, religious and social factors affecting our views? Issues relating to dissection and the Anatomy Act of the 19th century will provide a historical context for reflection on current debates. The film will feature in the Museum's 'Doctors, Dissection and Resurrection Men' exhibition and bring contemporary voices to the exhibition themes.
