What no one has mentioned was that the person who died GAVE Prof Hagens PERMISSION to do the autopsy, in public.

And to push it that one stage further, why is everyone baulking at this when there are DOZENS of human bodies, cut up, plasticized and put into poses on display in a museum in East London? They bitch about the cutting up done to a select audience, but the final display is there for all the world to see, and apparently a fair proportion of them have!

I for one would not go if you had a naked Sean Connery giving tickets away free with a kilo of chocolate. And yet, all these were done with the person's consent and there are 150 people in full knowledge of what will be done to them, on the waiting list for his next project.

I may not know art, but I know what I like and I know what turns my stomach!
