A new exhibition featuring preserved dead bodies having sex opened in Berlin on Thursday with critics saying a maverick German anatomist dubbed "Doctor Death" has gone too far this time.
The couple, part of Gunther von Hagens's exhibition "The Cycle of Life", is the "low point in his tastelessness", Michael Braun, culture expert from the conservative CDU party, told AFP.
Von Hagens said his copulating couples show the sexual act in "bracing clarity".

That is sick
How about get this buy and shove a 6 foot broomstick up his butt and put it on a flagstaff? THAT would be art!
flagholder, I meant.
What a disgusting bastard!
Some of the sickest people in the world live in Germany. What a dismal dark country it has become.
I really don’t have a problem with displays of our physical bodies, especially those of these “bodies” displays. They’re simply our “meat sacks”, which we shed once we die. The fact that they are in sexual poses makes it titalating but nothing more. Just my opinion.
Self-ping.
...so, when is Obama going to appoint him as the head of the Dept. of Education?

Come now:
The artist is clearly “brave”, “edgy” and “daring” and ushers in a refreshing and startling new epoch in the staid art world.
This of course to replace last week’s new epoch.....

They will want to sponsor it's showing in NY....
I read a while back that his method of preserving the bodies is unique and that most of his work goes to medical schools or colleges for scientific study. Some liberals got ahold of some and tried to make art from them. The simple solution to all of this is that if that isnt your bag, then dont go down and buy a ticket to get in and then complain about it. It you dont like it, then dont go. Same with movies, same with TV shows. Apparently there is a market for it, and for those who want to buy the displays for their schools or whatever, then so be it. It is all in how you perceive it.
Actually I think he does the art displays and stuff himself, no liberals required. In fact, as I understand it he developed this process of preserving bodies with the idea that medical schools and museums would want them as teaching tools only to discover that they didn't. So he decided to make a quick buck staging expositions.
Rumor has it that he gets his cadavers from china and further rumor has it that they are the bodies of persecuted falun gong. Don't know if that's true.
Have you ever considered that your mind may not be the best judge of what the most important part of your being is?
My mind is the best part of my body to judge what the most important part of my being. Always will be. When my soul leaves my body that will change! ; )
Yep.
It's like a truck I ain't driving anymore.
Wreck it up or paint it or whatever.
