Body Worlds, creator Gunther Von Hagens is “controversial” for his innovations. “Von Hagens, director of the Plastination Centre at the State Medical Academy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, invented plastination, a preservation technique that replaces the water in cells with a polymer, rendering the corpse odorless, dry, and realistic looking. The displays give some viewers new respect for their bodies; a smoker's lung or cholesterol-clogged arteries can be viewed as they would appear inside the human body.” http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/gunther_von_hagens/life_in_science.html
