Any final result for plastination?

 

[Beuen]

No final result but he probably ended up looking something like this. Doesn't look as good once the skin is all removed. But I know what a skinned penis looks like now.

Those are very interesting photos. I have been looking for a video of the entire process for some time now.

Some people volunteer to be plastinated. Don't think the Chinese guy had a choice tho. Didn't realise there was a video of the entire process. Maybe one day they'll be able to plastinate with flexible material.

I have the Bodyworlds DVD which you can buy here: http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Anatomical-Exhibition-Human-Bodies/dp/B001F4ODL2/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
It shows some of the process of the plastination procedures.
There is also a Bodyworlds book that has many of the full body plastinates pictured.

They can plastinate with flexible plastics. What they do is first, replace all water in the cadaver with alcohol. Then the place the cadaver in a liquid polymer such as silicone in a tank. They draw a vacuum on the take which lowers the boiling point of the alcohol. As the alcohol boils out of the flesh and bone, the liquid plastic is drawn in.

For exhibits like Body Worlds, a UV hardening plastic is used. The exhibit is then dissected and posed after which it is exposed to a ultra violet light and, sometimes, a hardening accelerator. To keep the cadaver soft, they would just have to use a soft setting polymer. Wouldn't it be interesting to have a hot looking body plasticized with something that sets like a silicon caulk? He would be somewhat flexible like rubber but would snap back to his original pose. I wonder if he could be made to bounce like a rubber ball? He could br given a permanent stiffy.

The other thing to consider is that a properly plasticized corpse does not decompose. The deceased could remain looking young and beautiful for at least a hundred years with proper maintenance while we continue to age.

I like the smooth,non-hairy skin. I want to touch the skin.

That was an excellent video and the others with it were also informative. Thank you. I wonder when the plastination process will be made available as an alternative to embalming the deceased? Would that also make the deceased a property that could be bought and sold like a piece of furniture? Instead of burying an unloved spouse, maybe they could be disposed of on Ebay.

You can buy dead humans who have been plastinated at the following websites. Plastinated penises and testicles or whole bodies or sections or slices all available. Its a shame none of them have skin or flexible assholes. lol.

I had the oppurtunity to see bodies in motion in new york city las vegas and ft lauerdale florida but I havent gone yet.However if you want the closet thing to a real human body go to wwwrealdoll.com They have males and they look real and feel real but if you are some weak little guy you cannot handle them because they weigh 85-95 pounds and they will wear you out..But bring a good credit card

I've wondered if a dead body could be plastinated to look healthy or at least freshly departed. It seems like the technology is available to do it. But, I've never read about it being done with that intent. I think there could be a niche market for plastination services for the well to do who want more than just to be embalmed and to decompose after a few weeks. Those who just can't let go could keep their preserved loved ones at home indefinitely without the health risks.

Perhaps the plastinated loved ones could be interred into a special mausoleum with clear display cases. Its another situation where the laws need to be clarified to separate the need for sanitation from the intent to impose a particular moral perspective. Sometime in the future (probably distant) people might be able to display a plastinated body like a piece of artwork.

Considering the fixation people have with the dead, someone will probably figure out how to use the process to get rich.
