I stumbled on this (warning - gruesome) on the web. Apparently this guy replaces the fluid in corpses with plastic and puts them on display as art. This seems wrong to me, what do you all think?
 
“Body Works” has been around for a while

Some may be put off by it but I find it very interesting
A celebration of the wonder and complexity of creation

IIRC all the people involved donated them to the project so there was no ghoulish grave robbing

There is a mother and fetus but they died of natural causes
What better way to make the case for life then by showing the reality of it?
 
It seems to be for educational purposes, and if people donated their bodies to the exhibit instead of having them be stolen or taken, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
 
I thought it was called Body Worlds, and I think it irreverant and gross.
 
Didn’t Lecter go to prison for something similar to this in the movie ‘Silence of the Lambs’. Oh yeah, Lecter’s victims were alive when he filleted them.

Maybe the people who donate their bodies to this museum are dead in a sense when they sign themselves over for future viewing. Poor souls! Pray for them.
