Medical Porn


Artist Gunther von Hagens is brewing another controversy. The medic from Germany has stirred the waters of the Art world by bringing us exhibits involving dead bodies injected with plastic and posed in life-like situations. And he really caused an uproar when he conducted an autopsy live on TV. Now von Hagens is planning to display his plasticized corpses depicting the stages of life, from conception through death. His latest project is called "Cycles of Life" and already has critics because two of the corpses are locked in a sexual pose. The story includes pictures that may not be safe for viewing while you are eating. You can also see Von Hagens entire concept on his website, Bodyworlds.
