Did A Humboldt County Man Find The World's Largest Oyster?
The "Cycles of Life" exhibit featuring real human corpses posed in real sexual positions opened in Zurich this week and -- surprise! -- it shocked a lot of people.Artist Gunther von Hagens, the German sculptor behind such brilliant works as dead bodies headbutting soccer balls and dead bodies playing saxophones, is no stranger to controversy. His 2006 Body World show in New York drew ire when it was revealed that many of the bodies came from undocumented Chinese workers.
According to von Hagens, the fornicating couple in his new "Cycles of Life" exhibit volunteered before death to be used in the sex exhibition. When they died, they were stripped of their water and fats and injected with plastic before being posed in a sexual position.
The couple had never met in life, suggesting that first dates get way better in the afterlife.

This is just another commentary to the de-generation of a generation obsessed with sexual overtones, designed to "shock" the previous generation, such as "mom & dad," or grandma & grandpa.
How sick and perverted, is putting it mildly, when a "younger set" can't stay within the boundaries of their parents/grand-parents, and keep decency and privacy of family/peers/siblings in their lives.
What this jerk has done is perverted, and should be censored in the name of decency!

Really? So when you do it as a living person - or even watch it as porn it's normal? But if you show what is actually happening under the skin it is perverse? How about you get real and stop being immature. The human body is pretty fricken amazing - whatever it is doing.

The human body is wondrously made...but it was originally meant to be viewed by ones spouse alone. God never intended that to change, just as HE never changes. Sexual morality aside, this guy is obviously very ill and should be institutionalized!

OK...Don't bring "God" into this because "HE" has nothing to do with it. If he wanted us to not be seen by anyone but our spouse than we would be born with clothes on already and they would grow with us. If you're still stuck in the times of religion and can't stand to see a naked person besides your spouse. DON'T LOOK...Because the rest of us like it...and you're quite a bit outnumbered. Sex is something to enjoy...Not shun. Get over yourselves and let everyone enjoy what they want to enjoy...do I shun you for your foot fetish? No. I may think it's wierd but I'm not gonna tell you to quit just because I don't like it. So back off and live your own so we can live ours the way we want to.

Great Devin...let's all do what we want. Excellent. Raping eight year old boys, cool! Showing dead bodies having sex, cool! Child porn, COOL! Snuff films, COOL! It's all good right?
You say Don't bring God into this. He needs to be brought into EVERYTHING and if I can't bring Him into something, I do not need to be doing it.
Oooo I sound like the biggest douche ever, how SQUARE I am.

Augh, I hate it when people bring God into these conversations. Learn to respect other's religions, not everyone believes Christianity get over it. And it's art for art's sake, he's revolutionizing art as we know it. Picasso drew pictures of naked women, people thought it to be absolutely disturbing, and now he's held as one of the greatest artists of his time. Deal with it people, sex is a part of life and that's what his art gallery's about, life.

As an artist, I would find a technical interest in the anatomy exposed, but I fear a "Ripley's Believe it or not" experience is what many people would walk away with...

I went to one of his exhibits in 2007 as a senior in Highschool and feel fortunate as a Nursing student to have seen what real muscles, ligaments, cartilage, organs, etc. look like in real life. This exhibit is educational, whether you like it or not. What do you think Doctorate students in the medical field are doing in lab? They are carving, cutting, and removing organs from cadavers that also donated their bodies for scientific research. Seeing sexual intercourse be posed is just one more way of learning out the body works on the inside, something most people would never see or learn about.

Puh-leez. It sounds as if this man is a one step away from deviant behavior. All you people condoning this in the name of art or education are simple minded. Why don't you just add this as prostituted necropsy. If you want to know how the human body functions, go to school and get a real education. There's a shortage of doctors but an abundance of voyeurs.

the doc's are "LEARNING"so as to benefit others!
watching skinned dead bodies in whatever pose they are placed in, is "NOT LEARNING and helps not a single person!

I think that Hitler skinned dead people too.That too wasn't accepted either.This guy is trying to shock people into thinking its art.We all know it's not.Just a very sad way to make a dollar.

Even though, supposedly, permission was given by the people before they died, basically it is disrespect of the dead. It is just one step further into no respect or decency toward humanity or the departed. What positive purpose does this kind of exhibit serve? How does it contribute to society? I think it is a self-serving, shock value behavior on the part of this so-called artist.

Someone dies and all that is left behind is an empty shell of dead tissue. The soul is gone, everything they were to others is gone except memories. If my organs or dead body can be of use to others so be it. Admittedly I wouldn't want my body used in a sex exhibit, but only because I wouldn't want my body getting more sex dead than it did alive. Sigh.
