Dear professor, I was just attracted by a cool vedio about the "Body World Exhibition", which impressed me a lot by the technology called "plastination", even though it's a little scary to watch at night. This technology was created by Gunther von Hagensone,one of the most evolutionary anatomists of our time. However,this body exhibition provides a lot of controversies between science and religious groups. The Catholic Church and some Jewish rabbis have objected to the display of human remains, stating that it is inconsistent with reverence towards the human body. For me, as a Chinese, even though I don't have any specific religious belief, such body exhibition still seems shocking to the mainstream culture in China, and I believe in most of the Asian countries (especially for the Buddhists).
