Professor Gunther von Hagens is a scholar with a difference -- and what a difference! To promote better understanding of human anatomy, von Hagens produces to scale models of humans with varying degrees of tissue. The catch is that these models are real human corpses!

Volunteers are petitioning von Hagens for a chance to become 'plastinated.'
