Oh Kanye. :cop:
one of the greatest shit? Learn to not be so insipid
I saw his exhibition in London a few years ago, I had to go twice to see any details I might have missed. It's really astounding work, and seeing whats under the skin of a human in such detail is brilliant.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17372033]Yeah what a buzzkill thinking it would be unethical to use anyone but volunteers.[/QUOTE] No, about most of your posts in general.
One word. Art.
[QUOTE=Beartato;17371918]I wouldn't mind seeing this in real life. Do they let you touch them?[/QUOTE] you're not meant to touch them. they're still a little delicate.
For anyone thinking of donating their bodies: [url]http://www.koerperspende.de/en.html[/url] To answer an earlier question, unfortunately either you or your next of kin will have to pay for the shipping of the body.
I've seen these at an exhibit at the o2 in London as part of my human biolog AS course. I think they're awesome, it shows the intricacy and complexity of the human body that we rarely give a moment's thought to.
This is pretty awesome. Wouldn't mind visiting someday.
Didn't this guy do live dissections on TV? I remember seeing one late at night and it was extremely interesting in an a fascinatingly creepy way.

But I must admit...The bit with the dead babies was just to much for me.
this is cool [editline]04:17PM[/editline] anyone who thinks this is "fucking disgusting" is an idiot
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;17371942]Not sure, there are photographs with Hagens touching them, but I guess he owns them. I would think not as they are exhibits. They all did. All of them.[/QUOTE] Well then it's just creative and awesome to look at then :D if people consented to it then it's not disrespectful. I can understand people finding it upsetting because they are troubled by the human bodies still but I am ok with it, it's no worse to me than ancient corpses in museums.

[QUOTE=Epidemick;17373247]Dead or Alive?[/QUOTE] I would prefer my body to be used for some kind of scientific development, but I don't know what use I would be. But yes alive.
Fucking amazingly awesome!
[QUOTE=Publius;17369917]It has evoked an emotional response from you, therefore it = art.[/QUOTE] Does this mean my farts are art?
I think it's amazing, almost immortalizing the deceased in a way. I'd love for my body to be set up in some way like this after I die.

Wait these are real bodies? Fuck i thought they were those plastic things used in science classes.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;17374098]Wait these are real bodies? Fuck i thought they were those plastic things used in science classes.[/QUOTE] they look the same.... i dont even care if its real or not anymore.. wouldnt bother me to look at it.
His stuff is great. Personally I would love to see how he does it from the point he gets the body to the point it get's on display. Having disected 2 rats in my past I can see how challenging it would be to get the individual body systems to be so clean like that.
That is really quite amazing. To think they were once living, breathing people is somewhat unbelievable. And all my moral objections were put to rest after I read that they all agreed to this.
I've seen this in a museum on a school field trip. Being dumb kids, we touched the slices of fat on display and poked each other.
This is fucking gross. It's kind of cool but jesus christ.
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;17369664][media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/217.PNG[/media][/QUOTE] Now that is amazing, I thought he was just covered in red thread at first, but to think that it's actually the blood vessels...
Well I'm getting sick by looking at these, and I don't know why.
[QUOTE=Odellus;17374250]Well I'm getting sick by looking at these, and I don't know why.[/QUOTE] I guess it's kind of disturbing to think that that's what you look like inside
