About this experience
Plastination
Plastination with BODY WORLDS. Permanent preservation, or storing DNA before death, could be seen as one way of returning in the future. Taking a place in the travelling "BODY WORLDS" exhibition is another way to remain relevant to future generations. The process replaces the water in the body's cells with plastics, preserving the body. Plastination usually involves parts of the body, especially organs, although complete human plastinates also exist. When a body is plastinated, it is used as an exhibit for medical purposes rather than buried in a cemetery. The donor makes their body available for this purpose during their lifetime.
