Corpse Sex Show Causes Outrage
Body Worlds doctor beheads sex couple to get round decency ban.
Showman pathologist Dr. Gunther von Hagens has taken an unusual step to get round local decency laws - he's sawn up the stripped down bodies of a couple having sex, after a court banned him from putting the exhibits on display. Von Hagens now plans to put just the most intimate body parts on show to get round the decency ban.

More..itics say the beheading shows he doesn't care about the dignity of the volunteers who agree to be exhibited after death, and is just chasing more publicity.
The controversial anatomist and fedora-enthusiast saw his 'plastinated' exhibit of lovers - preserved by injecting medical plastic into their bodies - banned by town hall officials in Augsburg, Germany, for breaching public decency laws.
Both bodies were said by Body Worlds director von Hagens to be lung cancer patients, who volunteered their bodies to him before they died.
Now von Hagens plans to exhibit just the business section of the amorous corpses, still locked in the height of passion.
He commented: 'It was the expressions on the faces that the court objected to - so I have removed that problem.' Less..

Once upon a time, desecrating a corpse was a crime.

Leave it to the crazy Germans to come up with this one. His exhibit, Body Worlds 2, was in Houston recently and it was amazing.

Some people will call anything art and other people will become outraged by anything.

Showman pathologist Dr. Gunther von Hagens was obviously born too late. He'd had made a great camp colleague to Dr Mengele.

This is what happens when capitalism is left unregulated, anything goes if there is a buck to be made.

Yeah I never understood that. But then a corpse is just a corpse to me, and wernt these donated anyway?

maybe they are related? His work takes necrophilia to a whole new level. If he ever invites you to "come over for a cold one" dont take him up on it.
