i saw the bodyworlds exhibition in brick lane a few years back too - and i thought it was all fine & dandy, very interesting UNTIL at one point half way through i realised 'hang on...this was an actual person, someone's mum or dad or sister or brother - not just a plastic science model' and i got really queasy and faint and had to leave for some fresh air. i came back in & finished it but thought some of it was over the top - one exhibit was a bit 'silence of the lambs' - remember when hannibal flays the cop & displays him inside the cage like an angel with wings?

and isn't there lots of controversy as to where von haagens gets the bodies from?
