By the way, it should be noted (at least as far as Body World's is concerned) that the exhibit is first and foremost to be seen as "art". The guy who invented "plastinization" created these plasticized corpses as works of art.
The fact that they have since been co-opted by science museums and have become fodder for school trips it something that I find facinatiting.
