Gunther von Hagens (b. Gunther Liebchen, January 10, 1945) is a controversial German anatomist who invented the technique for preserving biological tissue specimens called plastination. He is heavily involved in its promotion and developed the Body Worlds exhibition of human bodies and body parts. Von Hagens wears his trademark black fedora, even while performing public dissections.

I saw this exhibit. They were already dead.. It is totally acceptable and also good. It is not fucked up. It is not going to far.

I thought it was pretty cool. I liked the exhibit. A little creepy at first but really neat. It was different that is all.
