BODY WORLDS

German scientist Gunther von Hagens created the Body Worlds show and developed the preservation technique used to preserve the human bodies, called "plastination". He intends the exhibits to teach people about human skeletal, cardiovascular and the treatment of diseases.

The Body Worlds exhibit has been on display in Tokyo, San Jose California, and now Manchester.

One should perserve the sanctity of God's most beautiful creation. It is kind of derogatory to put a human in a museum. Just imagine how you would feel if you were to be dispalyed as an item in a museum

NO IT IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING AND GROSS. SERVES NO PURPOSE BUT WE AS SOCIETY DONT VIEW THE HUMAN BODY AS SACRED ANYMORE. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.
