Other shows[edit]

I went to http://www.amazinghumanbody.com.au/ yesterday, quite cool. It uses the plastination technique, but does not seem to be related to the original inventor in any way.

Also, there's a slightly different process on display there, called tubular casts or some such, where a resin is injected into the veins/arteries of a limb or organ, then the surrounding flesh removed. Is this still plastination or is it some separate process?

cheers, Clinton.

Computer simulation alternative[edit]

Proponents for the increased respect and courtesey for the human body point out that the inventors went ahead with the institute without due consideration to alretnative non intrusive methods of anatomy illustration such as digital computer rendered simulation. Computer simulation of the human body would alow much closer and detailed analysis of the human body. Zoom in, see through and body position maneuverability could allow a digitally simulated model much greater detail and content than a physical model ever could. Redistributing the simulations in the form of software over the internet, could further accomplish a broader viewer base and through a much more flexible means without ever requiring the use of bodies. Because of the versatility of software and the development of computer technology today, a virtual model is not only vastly supperior and more available to viewers world wide, but also an opportunity for further scientific development. The lack of a free, open source, world wide online available simulation while continuation of plastination, is not only unscientific, but also disrespectfull to the human body. -Written without signing by User:Nadyes

What controversy? This is apparently written by someone who knows hardly anything. At least for the coming 100years plastination won`t be replaceable by any other technique and even then only partially. Besides not everyone is a religious fundamentalist and believes that throwing a stone is disrespectful or likewise using dead carcasses with complete anonymity. Besides what you said gotta be the stupiest thing i heard in a year or so. CT is used because it can be performed in a live individual but it will never not even close exceed an actual cutting tomography. Theoretically not possible and there are worlds in between. Yes Plastination also enabled cutting tomography. I can savely claim that plastination will be used for the next several hundreds of years.Slicky 15:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should consider seperating criticisms out of the main article (see step seven) ... and this is a kinda one sided argument article.69.158.59.78 14:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of Chinese Human Rights Violations involving Plastination[edit]

The article makes no mention of the history of allegations that the Chinese government has sold the bodies of political prisoners for use in plastination. This subject has received news coverage, is the subject of legislation, and deserves coverage here. 21:27, October 31, 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.203.88.125 (talk) 19:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

USGov patent link is dead[edit]

The link to "List of US patents by Gunther von Hagens" seems to be dead, but I would rather someone replace it than just remove it, as the subject seems fairly interesting.

Final paragraph[edit]

The last paragraph of the main section was poorly written, unencyclopedic, and completely POV. I removed the whole thing, as it contributed nothing to the article and made it read like a junior high school paper. DrExtreme 21:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest? Point of view?[edit]

I'm tagging this article with wp:coi and wp:pov. I'm looking up another brazillion things right now, so I'm not doing due diligence to the tag like I ought to. Anyway, what3ver/What3ver, anyway. I think this entry could use some looking at, for fixing. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 13:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm rereading the article now, & I think the tags are over the top, so I'm removing them. I'm not sure what pickle was up where when I added them this morning. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 01:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
