Body Worlds plans cadaver show dedicated to sex
Edited on Sat Sep-12-09 07:10 PM by Elmore Furth
In a further controversial exhibition, a Swiss husband and wife team are posing plastic injected corpses depicting the "Cycle of Life."



"Whoever called it necking was a poor judge of anatomy."
Groucho Marx





ZURICH (Reuters) - German anatomists plan a new show dedicated solely to dead bodies having sex as part of the Body Worlds exhibitions.

Gunther von Hagens and his wife Angelina Whalley show corpses prepared using a technique invented by von Hagens called "plastination," that removes water from specimens and preserves them with silicon rubber or epoxy resin.

Von Hagens has already triggered uproar with a new exhibit which shows just two copulating corpses.

German politicians called the current "Cycle of Life" show charting conception to old age "revolting" and "unacceptable" when it showed in Berlin earlier this year because it included copulating cadavers.

9. I've been in and out
Not as often as I'd like, but I get what I can.

Things are a day to day miracle around here lately. That's what makes it fun though, ..umm.. right?

Austin is doing wonderfully. He is being trained for occasional day care. Mom is not liking that at all.

:hug:

11. Been to one of those shows
it was pretty creepy and I have seen and dealt with more dead bodies than I care to count. I was also suprised that there were more women than men at the show. I have to think adding sex will make it even more wierd.
