I'm not sure that it would be a deterrent.

Programmes showing diseased livers and lungs do little to deter those who drink to excess and smokers. When you're young, you think you've got plenty of time...

I didn't see it but my husband watched it and said how interesting it was.
Can't imagine it would be for general viewing though but would be a great deterrent.

Oh I should just say this lady had donated her body to medical research and I think she has left a great gift if by watching some people can be persuaded to tackle their life threatening obesity.

I watched the late night TV programme of a post mortem on an obese woman and I have to say that although I have heard and read much about it actually seeing the effect the additional fat had on the body of this woman who had died of heart failure in her early 60s (she neither drank or smoked)was truly shocking. I recommend it as a spur to weight loss and motivation. There is of course surgery but its very well done and you can whizz through the cutting and get to the analysis.
