This website, following Professor Gunther von Hagens controversial Body Worlds exhibition and public autopsy, traces the history of anatomy. We explore the depiction of the body in art and the use of dissection to entertain as well as to further medical science. We discuss the ethics and law surrounding the use of the human body after death and we invite opinions on the work of Professor von Hagens from various experts. Why not visit the online gallery showing his work? For those who would like to find out more about anatomy, anatomists and anatomy artists, there is a section on related websites, reading, organisations and exhibitions. |
