who said they're using bodies w/out consent? they were unclaimed corpses. i saw this exhibit & it's amazing. we take the "body" too personally. we are brainwashed since birth to think there's something wrong with this. i don't agree with that. i don't care what is done with me when i die, except using my organs in someone else (transplant), because i want all of me to die (when it's time to die). they could eat me for all i care. :)

@Kaniela6759 people is charged a ticket to see the show, this money can pay for the cost of tranport and the rent of the galleries. Profit it meas that it produces more money that is consumes, and the profit is used in the advantage of the investor. Since the money is not used in the advantage of the investor then you can claim it is non profit organization. By the way there are hundreds of non profit organizations, most of them dedicated to charity. Go to google and type Nonprofit organization.

Science - if you can't take the heat, stay out of the nuclear reactor.

dont be ignorant. chinese or poor ppl, BULLSHİT. the plastination process was invened by dr von hagens as a way to educate the public. all bodies are donated to that cause. the doner decides this in life and signs a contract. all bodies; alive or dead, are anon as depicted in every medical disection or even medical text book.

@TheBlingblingbros people donate. its in the contract for the doner to remain anon

@TheBlingblingbros So...how is the company to survive? If it doesn't profit, how can it continue to display these exhibits from which people learn so much? Without profit, a company....be it a family-owned grocery store to a large car company....will go out of business. I'm sure you don't want that.

@TheBlingblingbros It's educational.

It's not like they're degrading the corpses by dressing them up in outfits or something lol...
