well it was on Tv alot back when his media hype was going on a few years ago, he was accused of having bodies delivered from 3rd world countries, illegally without permission. He was also accused of talking people into donating their bodies whilst on their deathbead, not helping a suicidal person (to not kill himself) who´s body is now in his possession, etc. Don´t get me wrong here, i think the works rather fascinating, but von Hagens a sick **** if you ask me.
