You mean Body Worlds. And they’re not injected with resin, all liquid in their bodies is exchanged, turning the bodies literally into plastic.

Eventually it’ll be like cremating people from that Bodies exhibit. The one where they have bodies that have been injected with some kind of resin to preserve them for anatomy study.

When I was a kid and saw it(I’m old) it was called “bodies” or “the bodies exhibit.” Didn’t know they changed names since then, or if it was even a thing still tbh.

I also knew them by the name Bodies like 10 years ago. I think “Body Worlds” is a different company now.
(Not sure what happened to the old one, or if I’m even right on this. Should have done wikipedia research but don’t wanna fall into another rabbit hole :))
