Plastic Surgery???
At Dalian Hoffen Bio-Technique Company in northern China, people turn other people into plastic. Plastination is a four-step process during which polymers replace water and fat molecules in biological specimens.
Plastinated bodies don’t decompose, and museums and medical schools can display them with exposed muscles, veins and brains in exhibits around the world. One such exhibit, called “Bodies,” has visited dozens of cities worldwide since it opened in 2005. Hong-Jin Sui founded the Dalian facility in 2002 after he studied plastination under the man who invented it, Gunther von Hagens. Sui says the human bodies processed at Dalian Hoffen come from medical universities and the animals from zoos and aquariums. It can take more than two years to plastinate large animals, such as whales, but humans take only eight to 12 months.

I think this idea is crazy! are the plastic humans real or robotic like? this is plastic surgery to a new level.
ReplyDeleteI think that plastic humans are really helpful because so the sciencest and doctors can learn about the body .You should get on of the plastic human. So the study in the class could observe it
ReplyDeleteWow, this idea is extraordinary. I bet later in there will be many museums with these, "Plastinated bodies". This world is changing day by day.
ReplyDeleteSo my question is how would this actually benefit people. It's a cool experiment and all , but i don't get the meaning behind it. I'm guessing it's a new future for paralyzed people in wheelchairs ???
ReplyDeleteI think this idea is pretty cool. Plastic humans can help doctors and scientist under the human body better. This is a great idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteChinese people are always trying to do something.. like no why do we need plastic bodies? what is it gonna help us humans with. i think the idea of it is very creative but pointless.
ReplyDeleteThis is a life changing invention in my mind. This could become huge in the medical field. I would like to see the process behind everything though and see how it actually works.
ReplyDeleteI think this invention is wonderful! This will help several professional fields. I think it will help nurses the most, the ones that draw blood that is. I say it will help them the most because they have to know which veins is which and with this you can see the veins and nervous system clearly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I personally think that this would help further the science world. It could also be great for students to study in anatomy.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think these plastic humans could really help further the science world. it could be used for students to study the human body and other things. this is a very good & useful idea!
ReplyDeleteI think plastination is amazing. People now will go to plastination for research for the human body. I also have a question study this in class?
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I feel this invention will most definitely help out the medical field tremendously because they will be able to see the diagnosis clearly and it'll be easier for them to see the nerve system and how it works.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a cool idea , it interseting . It Has Some Advantages In The Medical Field. For Example a Better Look Of What The Inside Of The Human Body And Nerve System Looks Like . But what started this ? Where did this come from ? What made this idea come into play ? If The Have Been Doing This Animals Them Why Just Now Start On Humans ? I Like The Idea Though .
ReplyDeleteI feel like this a good new idea for the medical area . It could help the medical field look better at the nerve system . And also not just the nerve system but the whole body .
ReplyDeletei feel like this could be great for medical issues. The thing that is wierd is that turning people into plastic sounds very strange. If they get plastic surgury for the body that is great but getting full plastic surgury is only for people that have been hurt by flames and etc. I do feel like it can help the medical field improve.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is it can help you to view the body more inside and out!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this whole idea is crazy ... But it do help out doctors when real human have medical problems . I think its weird how they make plastic humans. That takes a lot of plastic surgery it seems like .
ReplyDeleteThis new surgery plan can effect the whole medical field in a huge way. It could also give the surgeons more expierence when new things like this are invented.
