Gallery curators say fainting is a daily occurrence. More than 200 authentic plastinated human specimens are on display, including entire bodies as well as individual organs and transparent body slices. Most exhibits are not behind glass, allowing a close-up inspection of the bodies' inner workings. Another man, who appears to be made entirely of blood vessels, holds his own folded full shell of skin triumphantly aloft. In tall glass jars, human embryos at various stages of development are displayed, the first ones appearing as little more than white pithy specks, then taking on a discernible diminutive human aspect.
People can choose to have their own bodies plastinised.
So far 3200 people are in the queue. When you look at the models you can recognise yourself as a member of the human species. Your humanity becomes clear. There is no sin in donating your body for plastination. The human being has a spiritual dimension that is torn away here.
