I heard they're having some controversy lately about where exactly they get the bodies from. (Though from the public autopsy story, it doesn't sound like he's adverse to controversy!) I agree that it's a desire to understand what we cannot see. Also, I'm a fellow donor card carrier. :) I missed the Body Worlds exhibit that was in my area recently, but I’d love to go see it.

He performed a public autopsy in London which was highly controversial (and illegal I think) but the fact that tickets sold out almost as soon as they were on sale shows just how eager we are to see the insides of us. I'm a donor card holder so my organs will go on to help people after I die, but I'm just as interested in donating my body to science as medicine.
