Plastic fantastic Richard Burnett Gunther von Hagens' controversial Body Worlds exhibit unveils the anatomy and inquisitive nature of the human being The fuss was not unexpected: Thousands upon thousands of Chicagoans lined up this past weekend to check out the hugely controversial Body Worlds 2 exhibit of plastinated human cadavers at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry before the exhibit left for Montreal for a summer-long run that begins next week. There were so many Chicagoans in line, the MSI stayed open 24 hours a day Friday through Sunday. As the lineups grew, an astonished American Medical Association panel at Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine denounced the exhibit. "If you really want to learn [about human anatomy], you're not going to learn by Body Worlds," Pritzker professor Dr. Peter Angelos intoned. But Dr. Gunther von Hagens, the creator of Body Worlds, is having none of that. "There used to be anatomical theatres all over Europe and America," von Hagens, 62, told Hour in an exclusive interview from his Body Worlds Institute for Plastination head office in Heidelberg. "But they have been taken away from the people. I am giving it back to the people." Indeed, over 20 million people have seen one of von Hagens' three Body Worlds exhibits currently touring the planet, and another 500,000 people are expected to view Body Worlds 2 at the Montreal Science Centre in the Quays of the Old Port this summer. The exhibit will feature over 200 objects, including whole-body plastinates. Von Hagens invented plastination in 1977. To stop decomposition, the process extracts all bodily fluids Become a member and soluble fat from anatomical specimens and replaces them with vacuum-forced silicon rubber and epoxy that are then hardened with gas, light and heat curing, giving the cadavers rigidity and permanence. Von Hagens never gives interviews to journalists before they've seen the exhibit. But he made an exception for Hour. Body Worlds 2 At the Montreal Science Centre (333 De la Commune W.), May 10 to September 16 [ www.montrealsciencecentre.com ] I don't know about people but ever since i first read about this display i have been waiting for it come by Montreal. So on that note would anyone be intereted in going and seeing this thing? |

 Coolness: 49260 | J'y suis allé mercredi passé. C'est très intéressant mais je m'attendais à plus. Trop de monde, tout le monde appyé sur les vitrines, le monde poussait bref la visite a pris 2heures. J'avais chaud, j'avais hâte de sortir. J'ai bien le cors de la femme emceinte de 5 mois, on voyait vraiment tout ainsi que les fostus ainsi que le corps suspendu avec tous les morceaux et roganes. Son émission au CanalD , Leçon d'anatomie est meilleure selon moi :)
Le détour vaut quand même la peine malgré les 25$ demandé. |

à moins que j'ai mal compris ta phrase en anglais, les corps sont plutôt en provenance de gens qui donnent leur corps à la science comme ceux et celles qui signent le dos de leur carte d'assurance maladie. Voici les prix : E- Ado / Teenager (13-17) 22.00$ E- Adulte / Adult (18-59) 25.00$ E- Aîné / Senior (60+) 22.00$ E- Enfant / Child (4-12) 14.50$ |

i guess it was a small incident blown out of proportion by the media. Or instigated by groups who are against this exhibition. ( trop fatigue pour ecrire en francais =p ) |
