I was reading the back of the digestive video cover when I realized that the Dr. Freddie was actually the creator of Body Worlds! That seriously creeped me out even more than I was because I was so sure that the guy with the raspy voice had a serious infatuation with the human body. When he slit open that poor corpse's stomach and poked around his/her small intestines commenting "Just Beautiful", I nearly threw up. I am not kidding.

He invented plastination which is preserving the body by switching all body fluids for liquid plastic. The plastic then hardens, living organs intacted.
The entire length of the video truly was not for the unsteely stomach which for some things, I am. I don't throw up just by looking at a dissected corpse, but somehow, watching people play around with organs makes me really nauseated. I need to steel my stomach. I admit, I am not going to be a great anatomist in the future of anything, but I still appreciate the human body. Another thing that was really stomach wrenching was when he washed the feces from the human body. That really irks me. Another gross factor was the simple fact that anatomist took a pleasure in opening up the human body. Maybe its just me, but after watching the video, I do not want to donate my body to science. I think I'll like it rotting six feet under just fine.
