Document Summary
Video: what is death: dr. frank gonzalez-crussi (pathologist & author) Views death as vast unknown ; says it is the one thing we cannot know, because it runs counters to our normal tendency. Dead lose their individuality, they are no longer the person we know, they are now a lump of organic matter. We expect to see people after they leave; especially when they come home at night, but when they do not, this is what causes a disturbance: professor martin pernick (historian) Discusses the first experiments in the mid-17th century on live animals and how scientists learned that various body parts could be sustained without the rest of the body present. One such person to explore these body parts was william harvey in the 16 th century. He maintained the heart and lungs of a decapitated rooster for hours.
