I have a friend
who's on the Human Tissue Authority board. She had to inspect this to make sure it complied. She said the thing she found disturbing was that the women in it were posed quite sexually.

But...hang on a second
There is such a thing as the human tissue authority board? What do they do?

Yup, there is.

The Board is government appointed and they do white papers, policy decisions and advise on regulations and the like.

I find
the "unnamed" bodies Von Hagens procured from the Soviet and Chinese governments early in his career slightly more disturbing. Although they have apparently all been removed from the show and cremated now.

I couldn't look at the site long enough to figure it out, but, they're not real bodies are they?
