Click here for Source of the following QUOTATION:
"Coming soon from Germany! Koerperwelten! The word means body works, and refers to an exhibition in Berlin in which mummified corpses are used as works of art. The “artist” is Gunter von Hagen, an anatomy professor, and he preserves human tissue by replacing body fluids with synthetic resin. The corpses look like anatomical models with muscles, organs, the nervous system, and blood vessels clearly visible. There is a sectioned body of a pregnant woman with her unborn child. The exhibits are of people who gave their consent before dying. It is reported that museums in London and New York have expressed an interest in hosting Koerperwelten. One recalls reports a few years ago that Germans were no longer placing obituary notices in newspapers. Funerals were also in decline. People wanted simply to depart with no public notice taken. Between nothing and exhibitionism there used to be something called civilization." Quotation from: http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0106/public.html - First Things - Richard John Neuhaus:
