Channel 4 looks set to become embroiled in another taste row after backing a project which seeks to mummify a terminally-ill volunteer for a TV documentary.

If you have an agenda—spill it!
I’ve seen this done already on cable tv with the body of a convicted felon who donated his remains for this specific purpose.
They shouldn’t have a problem finding a good number of terminally ill patients. The NHS took care of that for them.
Just a few more shots of botox and he can have Pelosi! She will be so stiff they can stand her in a corner!
