Crunchy Con: Guenther von Hagens' cadaver porn

I still haven't gone to a Body Worlds exhibit, and I don't plan on it. When von Hagens made an apperaance on Regency House Party, I was offended, and I decided that I would not be purchasing the DVD or the companion book any time soon, if ever. While it is true that the aristocracy would be interested in scientific developments, I would guess that the actual display of corpses would be repugnant to them. What were the show's creators thinking?

So he is now arranging displays of sex by the corpses? How does one respond to that?
