Scientist defends controversial exhibition

A CONTROVERSIAL scientist who preserves human corpses and displays them to the public yesterday defended his latest exhibition.

Gunther von Hagens, whose Body Worlds And The Mirror Of Time exhibition opens at the O2 Arena in London today, said he was presenting a “health message.”

A total of 200 cadavers from babies to the elderly have been arranged in lifelike poses, as part of the scientist’s latest Body Worlds exhibition.
