Frederic von Anhalt, the count husband of the gravely ill 93-year-old actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has said that he hopes to have her plastinated after she dies.
He told the Bild:
My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal. I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films.
Von Anhalt plans to get the famous German anatomist Gunther von Hagens to carry out the procedure.
Plastination has always seemed a little gross, but when you reduce it to raw science it is actually kind of cool. Fat and water from the body is replaced with different polymers – permanently staving off decomposition. So there is no faulting von Anhalt for his decision there, nor is there really an issue with him making arrangements while she is still among the living. Plastination is a long and complicated process that is presumably best started while the body is reasonably fresh. When something takes 1,500 man-hours to do, you want to make sure the right people have time in their schedules.
When it comes down to it, the only that is gross, and also somewhat douchey, is von Anhalt discussing his plans with a German tabloid while his wife is dying in hospital.
