III. Discourse Structure (10%)     Gunther von Hagens’ Bodyworlds gives a whole new meaning to the term “realistic.” In 2011,Bodyworlds came to the National Taiwan Science Education Center, using real human bodies to educatethe public on human anatomy. In the late 1970s, Hagens developed a process called “plastination,” bywhich bodily fluids of human corpse are drained and replaced with a special type of plastic. 16 Some Bodyworlds displays focus on specific organs, giving us an uncomfortably close viewpoint onour bodies. One, for example, demonstrates the effects of smoking by displaying a healthy pink lungside by side with a lung damaged by years of smoking. 17 A slice of the entire body givesvisitors incredible insight into how different parts of the body work together, vividly showing thecomplexity of our nervous system, or the insides of our brains. 18 Many people are disturbed by the chillingly realistic displays, knowing that they wereonce real human beings. Moreover, some religious figures have also complained that the exhibition isunethical. 19 Since its first exhibition in 1995, Bodyworlds has traveled to more than 50museums around the world. The latest Bodyworlds exhibit has become even more controversial. 20 Despite suchcontroversy, Gunther von Hagens assures critics that the subjects, who never met each other in life, gavehim specific permission for the composition before their deaths.
