are those real?

[karenstrunks]

Yes. People donated their bodies. Not sure of the preserving process.

[CsRAJ]

they inject a polymer, which takes almost a year to harden.

@SweetBerry13 Holy shit... Grammar.

@karenstrunks they didn't donate their bodies. Those dead people used to be prisioners.And BTW, they preserve them by putting them in liquid silicone.

for science it's a big step but for any other reasons it's just wrong to do this...it's like mocking the dead and you should never do stuff like this

@dontwhichtopick first-nobody says thet there actualy is heaven(bible is no prof, it was not sent from heaven to as by fax;))

second-it is for scince, to we can see our body from this side of view, because you wouldnt be happy to have surgery done by a doktoc, who has never seen human body with inside, would you?
