A True Body of Work

Body Worlds.

Have you heard of it? If so, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, you don't want to miss it.

Body Worlds is an exhibition, generally at museums, created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens -- where he displays authentic bodies, various body parts and internal organs in a state of post-death, but before decay. I know it sounds grotesque, but it's really quite facinating. It's a process he engineered called Plastination preservation technique.

I went to see this "sold out" exhibition, and I can honestly say it was one of the most mesmerizing displays of human anatomy I've ever witnessed. I spent three-and-a-half hours (where most people spend a mere hour or less)... fascinated by the art, beauty and sophistication of the human body. It made me truly appreciate how delicate, yet complex, we are. And, more important, that we only get one body. Just one.

If you get the opportunity, and Body Worlds comes to your neck of the woods, do yourself a favor and go visit it. You won't be dissapointed.
