Abstract
In recent years one of the most controversial uses of anatomy for public display has been Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds exhibitions. Von Hagens also provoked fresh outrage by selling plastinated human and animal body parts online. While some may consider this as an entertainment activity, or a pretext for commercialising the human body, von Hagens has claimed that “The primary goal of Body Worlds is health education”. As stated by the Institute for Plastination, these notorious exhibitions using human remains to deal with the subject of anatomy aim “to educate the public about the inner workings of the human body and show the effects of poor health, good health and lifestyle choices”.
