Body Worlds exhibitors plan sexuality show

The German anatomists behind the Body Worlds exhibitions that display preserved cadavers plan to stage a new show solely dedicated to sex, they said in an interview.

Married couple Gunther von Hagens and Angelina Whalley aim to democratize anatomy by showing the public corpses prepared using a technique invented by von Hagens called "plastination."

"Zurich is ready for two sex acts, but it's maybe not so easy in every other town," said von Hagens.

Body Worlds exhibitions, visited by 27 million people across the world, have been criticized for presenting entire corpses, stripped of skin to reveal the muscles and organs underneath, in lifelike and often theatrical positions.
