Gunther von Hagens, the German anatomist who exhibits preserved human corpses after injecting them with a plastic resin, has launched a nationwide body pick-up service to provide him with a "sufficient number" of specimens.
The controversial scientist announced the introduction of the service just as he is about to open a body factory in the east German town of Guben.
Mr von Hagens said the pick-up service would be free to those who had made a written pledge to donate their bodies while still alive, and would "make it possible [for relatives] to mourn without having to worry about burial costs".
Don't all rush at once.
