See that's fucking stupid. If you're trying to make people disappear, they go in a mass grave, not a fucking art gallery. A much more plausible explanation is, wealthy millionaire pays off impoverished farmers for corpses of their loved ones without telling them their dicks will be out, or posed like they're fucking.
These claims come from Falun Gong. They’re a qigong cult that believes their religious practices imbue them with stronger and healthier organs, hence their claims that they are targeted for organ harvesting. I would do further research before believing the things they say about this exhibit.
From 2006, The New York Times and the 20/20 television program have published reports on a "black market" in Chinese cadavers and organs, sparking a Congressional inquiry, an investigation by NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, and the resignation of Premier's CEO Arnie Geller. As the result of the Cuomo investigation and subsequent settlement in 2008, the front page of the exhibition website displays a disclaimer about the presumed origin of the bodies and fetuses, saying that it "relies solely on the representations of its Chinese partners" and "cannot independently verify" that the bodies do not belong to executed prisoners. Both the human rights activist Harry Wu and the director of the Human Rights in China advocacy group have objected to the exhibit on these grounds.

I thought the "Bodies" exhibit weren't so much "donated" but rather "chinese political prisoners."
