Our era’s Dr. Frankenstein, Gunther von Hagens, the man behind the “Body Worlds” exhibit and its many imitators, has one-upped himself.
No longer will you have to wait in line to gawk at his plasticized corpses set up in amusing flayed poses.
No, now you can get a slice of a corpse for your living room wall. The price: €12,000 for a vertical slice, or €250 for a horizontal slice.
What have we come to?
Contrast this degradation of humanity in our society today with the lofty description of the human person’s dignity in Scripture:
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” Ps. 8:4-5
Shakespeare, rooted in this Biblical conception, took the reflection a little further:
“What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!”
Can God’s judgment be stayed upon this ungrateful race?
Pax et bonum 
This is unbelievably vile! I’m happy to see some of the bishops condemning the Body Worlds exhibits as you have posted. I would love to see commentary by our current Chancellor and/or Cardinal. Of course, the exhibit is no longer in Houston, but this new selling of “slices” is available to anyone.
