Why use real human bodies instead of constructed models?
Real human bodies show the details of disease, physiology, and anatomy that cannot be shown with models. They also allow us to understand how each body has it own unique features, even on the inside. The BODY WORLDS organizers have learned that people are drawn to real specimens versus plastic models. One of the special features of museums and science centers is that they offer people a chance to see the real thing in a safe and informative environment.
