“I learned recently that some 7,500 people have signed up to donate their bodies to ‘Body Worlds’ for plastination and display, a figure that makes the Body Farm’s one thousand donors seem paltry by comparison. Given that these plastic cadavers could have nearly the same longevity as nuclear waste, I can’t help but wonder two things: Where will they all end up? And what will archaeologists (or alien invaders) think when they unearth them thousands of years from now?”

Hmm. Perhaps someone should ask Gunther von Hagens whether the cadavers are recyclable!
