Plastination Photos: Anatomy Art, Part 1

Posting Date: 11/04/1999

The exhibition has not been untouched by controversy, however; when it was on display in Austria, some religious leaders objected, saying that it infringed on the "dignity" of the dead people who donated their bodies.

Well, I can only agree with the German philosophy professor who said that if someone, in full possession of their faculties, agreed to donate their body to this process, it would be more offensive to the dignity of the dead person to "forbid such a donation of a body."



And what a great legacy it is, to be helping people learn about the amazing and beautiful structure of the human body.

We've got more of these fascinating photos here at HealthCentral.com. For more information about the Plastination Institute and the Anatomy Art exhibit, visit their website at www.plastination.com.
