practiced around the world today irrespective of BodyWorld.

I am trying to get you to think about why it is repulsive to you, and I believe it is because it is against your morals.

In western society, we have come to associate a certain type of respect regarding the treatment of cadavers. I think it is an extension of a respect for life. While you might think that plasticizing human corpses is somehow respectful because it is educational, I happen to think that it is not justified for that cause or, for that matter, any cause. We can put a man on the moon; we can make an artificial BodyWorld exhibit.

But people don't want to see fakes, they want to see REAL humans. It's creepy and morbid.
