Plastinated Bodies - not just for museums anymore?

According to the Times and Der Spiegel, Guenther voon Hagens is planning to 
market plastinated body slices for home display.  "In three or four months, 
anyone will be able to buy the slices on the Internet or in our 
Plastinarium."

However, von Hagens now says he regrets and retracts the statements he made 
to the press "in a moment of scientific bravado on behalf of lay people".
