body works exhibit

Like Amy, I despised the "Body Worlds" exhibit, considering it to be defiling the human body for entertainment purposes (despite its scientific pretensions). Guenther von Hagens, its originator, has now tipped his hand, showing what a sick SOB he's always been: his new exhibition depicts cadavers having sex. Says Wesley J. Smith:

But breaking "taboos" is all that matters in a hedonistic culture crumbling from the destruction of social cohesion. Further, hedonism denigrates human exceptionalism by reducing us to the level of instinctive and self indulgent beings living for the next, ever more nihilistic, thrill. We can break this downward spiral only by seeing clearly what is happening and refusing to participate in it.
Now that the von Hagens has created actual pornography with dead bodies. As Smith says, what's left now? This stuff is Satanic. In a sane society, this ghoul would be in prison or in an insane asylum. In our culture, he is rich and famous
