:: Body Worlds ::
Now the question is... What do you think about Gunthet Von Hagens work?
Is it intriguing? Repulsive? Scientific? Sinful? Artistic?

It's very interesting in my opinion. I'm not a squeamish person, so I don't have a problem with the exposed muscles thing. I would definitely go and see an expo like this.

This was at the Onario Science Center in Canada. I really wanted to see it but it ended right when march break started so I couldn't. It looks really interesting, but I doubt I would learn anything. I want my body donated to something like this or anything to do with science, I want my body to be used for something or help someone with experiments.
I especialy wanted to see the one of a person smoking.

Heheh, I wanna see that one as well ^_^.
I saw a blurp on how the plastation process on Daily Planet a while back. I'm really creeped out by it, but am at the same time very intrigued and have to see it up close!
They can cut bodies 1 mm at a time as well which an extremely useful type of disection for scientific purposes.

This reminds me of a discussion I had with a few friends a few weeks ago...
When you die, Would you want your body used for Art or for Science.....
Most of my friends said Art (Being that they are mostly art majors) And a few (myself included) said Science...
Its interesting to see that most people are either torn, or seem to strongly believe in one side of the debate

At first I thought that the only way that I'm going to see his exhibition is when I would like to know where my liver is. However looking at his work more closely I get messages about the mortality of the body, and how these exhibitions may actually help to raise awareness and make organ donation more wide spread. Which is a good thing.
The fact that the organs used are real, Makes an impact. It's a bit strange but although I would get the same messages from fake parts, this I guess captivates even more my attention.

Great vid there, a perfect example of a "car crash" movie :P
Heard a bit of chiptune-age in there... did you get the audio from .XM files by any chance?
What I was referring to, was that the way that this "could" move forward, was that people might be able to search for info about any random person through taking a photograph in the street, they don't even have to be famous.
