    I always thought this shit ain’t normal. It shows an extreme disrespect towards dead people’s bodies.

    I guess using prisoners makes it easier to justify in their heads.

      There are multiple such exhibitions in different countries and I hope you don’t mean that they all use prisoners bodies??

      And at least for the German exhibition Körperwelten all bodies are donated willingly and I don’t know of any accusations that they stole somebodies corpse. So how is it disrespectful if those people willingly donated their bodies?

      I personally found the german exhibition extremely fascinating and informative and highly recommend it to everybody who can stomach it. … and only if the exhibition only used willing participants instead of prisoners bodies of course.
