	Body Worlds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a travelling exhibition of preserved human bodies and body parts which are prepared using a technique called plastination to reveal inner organs or structures.
		For example, there are bodies with prosthetics such as artificial hip joints or heart valves; a liver with cirrhosis; and the lungs of a smoker and non-smoker placed side by side.
		These bodies were prepared by injecting a red dye and plastinating agent into their blood vessels, then using chemicals and ultrasound to dissolve away their flesh and bones.

	Body art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Body art is art made on, with, or consisting of, the human body.
		The most common forms of body art are tattoos and body piercings, but other types include scarification, branding, scalpelling, shaping (for example tight-lacing of corsets), and body painting.
		In Western art, body art appears to be a sub-category of performance art, in which artists use or abuse their own body to make their particular statements.

		BODY WORLDS 2 offers a unique chance to see and understand our own physiology and health and to gain new appreciation and respect for what it means to be human.
		Body and organ slices produced with epoxy resins result in transparent specimens with good coloration of individual tissues; polyester resins permit an excellent distinction between white and grey brain matter and thus are used for the plastination of brain slices.
		BODY WORLDS 2 aims to educate the public about the inner workings of the human body and to show the effects of poor health, good health and lifestyle choices.

	The Graphic - Take a look at what's inside
		After the soul, the body is the greatest thing I ‘own/owned’ as a human being, a miracle with the interplay of cells and organs,” one anonymous female donor said.
		Although the body donors’ causes of death are not revealed, it is clear that many of the donors suffered from physical ailments and disease.
		Their diseased bodies and organs stand in stark contrast to the bodies and organs from healthier donors, imparting a tangible understanding of sickness and affliction.

		There are slices of bodies from different angles and – especially fascinating – dissections of limbs in which joints have been replaced with stainless steel, bones joined with plates and screws, and hearts cut open to reveal prosthetic valves.
		We are reminded of the dissections for public amusement that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries, the subsequent forbidding of anatomical studies (von Hagens is rather too kind about the role of the church) and the ignoble history of grave robbings that were necessary for medical education up to the late 19th century.
		The catalogue and all other materials emphasise the informed consent process for body donors, and the professor has put his body where his mouth is, by volunteering himself for the process after his death.

		The bodies were presented with great skill, revealing different aspects of the body not just in an insightful, but also in an artistic way.
		Nearly all the bodies were shown with the skin and fat stripped away to reveal the muscles, nerves and a cornucopia of other internal organs.
		If Christianity could lead the world's religions with their leadership and enlightenment regarding evolution in the same way it did with anatomy, then it would be a deep credit to the church and to Christianity as a forward looking and enlightened religion.

		What sets these corpses apart from other anatomy lessons is that they're preserved through a process known as "plastination" in which their bodies are dissected fully or partially and exposed to a reactive polymer that allows the body parts to be shown in their natural colors.
		Body Worlds also is a huge attraction for art classes such as the one teacher Louise Grissinger brought from Geneva High School in suburban Chicago.

		Like its predecessors, BODY WORLDS 3 presents more than 200 authentic specimens, including organs and whole body specimens, that have undergone Plastination--von Hagens' groundbreaking method of halting decomposition and preserving the body after death for medical study, which he invented in 1977.
		The striking whole-body plastinates in BODY WORLDS 3--people who in their lifetime donated their bodies for Plastination for the express purpose of educating future generations about health--allow viewers to see inside the staggeringly complex and completely interconnected network of muscles, tendons and blood vessels that make up our bodies.

		When a human body is preserved by plastination, it undergoes a vacuum-like process that sucks up the fat and dehydrates the rest of the body, leaving it to feel like rubber.
		The body then, is everlastingly preserved and free of decaying, a natural process hindering the development of scientific and medical research.
		The film, "The Human Body," follows a family in their day to day ventures and a tiny camera reveals, microscopically, what happens inside the human body as it is performing certain tasks such as biking, playing basketball and eating.
