The Plastination

Gunther Von Hagens

Biografía.
German artist and scientist was born on January 10, 1945 in Alt-Skald.
studied medicine. After he emigrated to Germany to continue his medical studies.
entered as a research assistant at the Institute of Anatomy and Biology, in your stay is set to perform chemical experiments to make the process of Plastination . To study this very complex process required to reach its first human body plastin. Creates Heidelberg Institute for Plastination BIODUR and the company, which distributes equipment for plastination. The bodies prepared plastination to create conflicts in the world today. Plastination oppose the Conservatives.

The Plastination is a process of preservation of biological material, created by Gunther von Hagens in 1977, which involves removing the body fluids such as water and lipids by solvent and cold acetone, and later exchanged for elastic silicone resins and rigid.

The processes that are divided are:

1. Embalming and dissection.

first thing is to stop the process of decomposition of the body with a mixture used to embalm the body through the arteries.

The mixture kills all bacteria and stops the breakdown of tissues. After lifting the skin and dissected to the layer you want to watch.

2. Theft of water and body fat. In the second step takes place fat dissolving substances in some solvents such as acetone.

3. Forced impregnation This is the most important step in this process. During the impregnation polymer replaces the acetone.
To achieve this, the body is immersed in a polymer solution and placed in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum allows the change of acetone and allowing the polymer to be fully inserted into the cell.

4. Positioning forced impregnation After the body is prepared to leave the vacuum chamber and be put to everyone's taste.
E ach individual anatomical structure is aligned and fixed with the help of wires, needles, clamps and foam blocks.

5. Cured (Hardening). Finally, the body is hardened. Depending on the polymer used, applying a gas, electricity or heat. Plastination of an entire body requires about 1500 hours and requires one year to complete the entire process.



* Plastination laminated In this process the body is frozen and made cuts at the desired site topography varying between 2 and 8 mm thick.
silicone Instead, use polyester resin is used for impregnation and later included in the cuts in the healing phase.
offers advantages the use of polyesters, as these do not tend to be yellow, we would have to be careful not to cause scratches to the mold obtained.



The advantages are:

1. We do not need any conservation system for platinum bodies are kept away from direct sunlight and when not to be used should be stored in bags or showcases.
2. Making color is close to nature, although this depends on the mix we have developed embalming to preserve the body.
3. Da dissections rigidity for longer life.


Some
problems posed are:

This technique gives rise to ethical, religious and legal, since it is a management bodies, and must take into account whether people can have that handle on the bodies. Of all forms has been accepted by science and are countries such as Europe, Russia, United States, Mexico where it was first applied in 1999.
The purpose is Plastination is devoted to teaching the human body, for exhibitions in museums, the latter which raises ethical issues.

found numerous presentations on this process, especially struck by the exhibition "Body Worlds" which began in Japan in 1996 and later came to London, causing a huge noise, protests and numerous problems.
also found another exhibition for Plastination in Manchester, a great museum that has a size of a village, where we can find all kinds of plastinated bodies.



Reviews of society on the process of Plastination in bodies.

Some people think that this process of Plastination is a method of remembering the dead because after all are bodies of dead people and animals who have undergone the process of Plastination, to create art on the bodies after death. Others consider the creator as a madman to create this technique which uses it to make fun of the bodies.

However, for others this German artist is a Dr. Frankenstein Death or corpses used to create morbid events.
To make this process requires an authorization from the family or person when previously she was alive. These people consider this as a new art form in the bodies is done through Plastination, as it is really interesting to see inside of these bodies and see how that has been keeping the bodies and then be exhibited in museums, exhibitions ... There are people who feel close to this process either because you like, because it has been made in any of your relatives or because it will be useful in their studies to pursue ello.Sin But for others this German artist is Death or Frankenstein a doctor who uses corpses to create morbid events.

For other people their work is a contribution to the knowledge of the human body, bringing it in an educational way.

Some religions do not allow this type of procedure they consider this process a way to revive the dead. Since we do not consider tasteful visit exhibitions and museums and find this kind of exposure.
opposite situation is found in science, which considers this process a way of knowing and studying the human body inside and see how they can work with it.


our point of view this process as we feel we do not consider exposures that are simple but this process helps us better understand the human body and how bodies are preserved after Plastinación.No understand why the religious and ethical problems arise if for this process requires an authorization by the family and no one is forced to undergo this process has, not to see this exhibition.


then shown a video in which they appear different plastinated bodies to be found in exhibitions:
