Plastination: anatomical exhibition of real human bodies * GRAPHIC *

Think about the possibilites for this in university cadavar labs as well...I visited one of these labs once and they were in the process of dissecting 9 bodies...I know that experience is a must for pathologists and many surgeons...but think of the money that could be saved on general practioner's tuition costs (probably a good decrease of 25 cents - haha) by preserving just parts of the body at various stages using this procedure...

BTW - Is this a touring exhibit?? I'd love to see this!
