Von Hagens, famous for his "Body Worlds" traveling exhibition of
preserved human bodies and body parts, said Friday his new Internet shop is
going online Nov. 3.
The shop will sell a wide range of his creations — from
animal-part jewelry to entire human corpses. But he says any human body parts
will only be sold to places like universities and hospitals for research
purposes, as he already does. German Archbishop Robert Zollitsch is criticizing
the plans, saying von Hagens is desecrating corpses to create "a spectacle
under the guise of medical research."
