Open Letter from Gunther von Hagens

Dear Reader,

Many of you know me as the anatomist who brought the post-mortal body into public consciousness. In recent weeks, politicians and pundits have questioned my latest work: the anatomical preservation of a man and a woman – two consenting, deceased donors – through my science of plastination, in a pose meant to highlight human reproduction.

Ironically, despite the criticism of the powerful, our visitors have supported the by now world-renowned "Sex Couple." Since the unveiling of this display in Berlin, we have received hundreds of messages from the UK urging us to present such a special plastinate in the BODY WORLDS exhibition currently on show at The O2 bubble.

As a public anatomist, I have strived throughout my career to listen to the people rather than to the arbiters of taste and propriety. I therefore call upon you, the Great British public, to tell me your thoughts on this plastinate. Would you like to see a similar plastinate come to London and permanently join the BODY WORLDS & The Mirror of Time exhibit at The O2?

Please join the debate and cast your vote.

The plastinate which is currently in Germany is ready to make its way to London. If you vote now, this unique display could be permanently in the BODY WORLDS exhibition at The O2 bubble in a matter of weeks.

Please cast your vote and help me make my decision.

Best Wishes,
Gunther
