Medical students in Taiwan are being buried alive in coffins - to help them appreciate the value of life.
Teenagers at Rende Medical College are being given the unusual lessons which tutors say should give them an insight into death.
The students have to write a will, dress in a funeral shroud and then climb into a coffin while they are buried under floorboards before they are released.
Professor Qiu Daneng explained: "Although it's just 10 minutes, the effect is equal to real death."
"Equal to real death," eh? Good to know. The Captain looks forward to being released from his coffin 10 minutes after he's buried.
