I think these procedures of plastination, however, show just how close we can get to natural science...I'm surprised that forensic units in police departments have not jumped on this to allow extended examination of the bodies...

I think, of course, that the plastination links you've provided to the images are meant to be forms of art...Here's an age old question to ponder on this thread...Does life imitate art or does art imitate life?!?!

When signing the donation form and the body donation identity card the body donor confirms that he/she agrees with the donation. A body donation for plastination purposes constitutes a declaration of will which may be revoked at any time
What a wonderful way to have your body used once you kick the bucket! Where do I sign up? I want to be playing the violin, because I haven't got a clue how to now...lol.
but if the process takes a considerable amout of time,
it would be impracticle to use it in a forensic application....maybe

This this little girl died in 1902, and her casket was reopened, for some reason or another, in 1995.
Originally posted by CattlespyThere is (among Catholics) a number of 'saints' whose bodies have been exhumed and found to be 'incorrupt'. Hence, they are called 'The Incorruptables'. I found this to be so fascinating (I'm not Catholic) that I found a book by that same title and it is filled with image after image of these 'saints' that look almost as fresh and dewy as when they were alive!
I worked up an appetite reading this thread
you may want to stay out of this site - lol - try a full semester of seeing dead body powerpoints...
