PAGE OF EMMA (and maybe a little bit Melanie ) You two crack me up- I love it! Ms C:)

We will be arguing **FOR** Body Worlds, for the sake of the Wiki, but for our essay's, that opinion might differ. So, let's start with interesting facts. Numero Uno- The dude who invented the **PLASTINATION** process is a German man named **Gunther von Hagens**. Numero Dos- You can actually **donate your body** to this institution. Visit website for further information. Numero Tres- Please wait for fact. Melanie's turn.

PAGE OF MELANIE (and so not Emma )

1. Gunther was at a butcher shop in the University town and saw a woman slicing meat and he thought that he should be slicing Kidneys with a meat slicer. 2. Now Emma wants to put in her two cents. Meany.

﻿EMMA'S TWO CENTS ( 'Cause I'm cheap like that) a.) Melanie TOTALLY stole my idea/point about the meat-slicing-thing. She's a weiner, don't listen to her. b.) Gunther (a.k.a. Crazy GERMAN Man, Skynyrd, you win, he is German) discovered his plastination technique while working on slicing kidneys. Why, I'm not sure. But he needed a way to preserve them that took less time, and stuff. So, basically, it was laziness that spawned Body Worlds. Huh. So he used liquid Plexiglass, but he didn't like that, so he used silicone rubber instead, but the kidney died. He tried again, this time taking the process more slowly, and, voila, preserved kidney, and the new focus of his life, PLASTINATION. c.) It's bedtime. Go to sleep. We have school tomorrow.

Point One- Good Emma go to sleep! So I may work on this page with no interuptiuon from certain someones. (P.S. that certain someone is Emma Johns )

-Von Hagens' two year imprisonment by East German authorities for political reasons -after his release by $20,000 payment by the West German government Von Hagens thought up the idea of preseveing dead bodies. -his best friend decided to donate his own body to Von Hagens’ research

-Von Hagens was born in 1945, in Alt-Skalden, Posen, Poland—then part of Germany. -To escape the imminent and eventual Russian occupation of their homeland, his parents placed the five-day-old infant in a laundry basket and began a six-month trek west by horse wagon. -The family lived briefly in Berlin and its vicinity, before finally settling in Greiz, a small town where von Hagens remained until the age of 19.

-has a rare bleeding disorder that restricted his activities and required long hours of hospitalization -At age 6, von Hagens nearly died and was in intensive care for many months

ME AGAIN. YAY.

ayy: It was late, I was tired. I'm sure you were, too, Melanie. bee: Pfft, I'll sleep-edit, and give you no end of trouble. sea: I do believe that the research part of this project is over, so it's goodbye from here. //Adieu!//
