A German man died last week. His name was Gunther von Hagens. He was 81 years old. He created a special way to keep bodies. The way is called plastination. It makes bodies hard like plastic. Doctors can keep them for a long time. The bodies look very real.
Von Hagens started his work in 1977. He worked at a university in Germany. He took water out of bodies. He put special plastic in instead. The plastic made the bodies stiff. Then he could pose the bodies. He put them in different positions. Some bodies played chess. Some bodies exercised. People came to see them.
Von Hagens wanted his own body to stay. He said his body should be plastinated too. A museum will keep his body. It will stand at the entrance. Millions of people saw his shows. The shows taught people about the body. Some people liked the shows. Some people did not like them.
