In an effort to help families find answers, NBC News is publishing the names of more than 1,800 people whose bodies were given to the Health Science Center by Dallas and Tarrant counties since 2019.
Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exposition of dissected human bodies, animals, and other anatomical structures of the body that have been preserved through the process of plastination.
The book explores the "lives" of cadavers from the time of the ancient Egyptians, to the anatomy labs of medieval and nineteenth-century Europe, to the current campaigns for human composting in Sweden. According to Ms. Roach, for more than two thousand years, dead bodies have been involved in scientific research.
