Stace Owens

Donors hope plastinated bodies educate (AP)

Stace Owens poses next to a plastinated body at the 'Body Worlds' exhibit in Dallas in this April 3, 2007 file photo. Owens, a 33-year-old real estate agent from Dallas, is among more than 7,000 people who have agreed to donate their bodies for plastination, a process in which body fluids are replaced by liquid plastic. The plastic hardens, leaving tissues intact and allowing bodies to be displayed in their natural color and without formaldehyde. (AP Photo/Thomas Peipert, file)AP - Stace Owens has no intention of leaving this world when he dies. He plans to stick around for decades or longer, preserved in plastic and displayed in a museum or medical school.
