Totally Disgusting.....

There are exhibits known as "Bodies" where real bodies of dead people are on display, cut in half, and other gory outcomes. The people's bodies on display may be those of Chinese political prisoners.

Roy Glover, spokesman for BODIES... The Exhibition, says its cadavers -- all from China -- did not come from willing donors.

My ex girlfriend saw this exhibit with her father (A Doctor.) She Said it was very interesting.

They have a place like that in NY. I've been to it and it was cool. Not gross at all.

Link.

Right, but it's the whole element of the bodies possibly being those of Chinese political prisoners that did not consent to having their bodies used in this way.

*Cure* · 11-01-2007, 05:59 PM

Oh well. They're dead anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

My thoughts exactly. I doubt it matters to them either. It's not like their bodies are doing THEM any good at the moment.

I saw the display when I came to Tampa...I thought it was very cool...its amazing to see what lies beneath...and as far as being Chinese prisoners or whatever, nothing has been confirmed (and probably never will). I wouldn't be surprised if the exhibit themselves put out the rumor to get more interest...

*Buslady* · 11-01-2007, 09:47 PM

It was here too, at teh Science Center...I didn't bother. Bleah...but the plastic horse would have been neat to see...

*Masked Ninja* · 11-01-2007, 10:10 PM

It was in my area during the summer... thought about going and maybe taking my sketchbook, but I didn't. Mainly I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle it or not. Gross, and yet a fascinating thought.

*Raph's Girl* · 11-02-2007, 02:11 PM

Yea... It's been at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle for a while. At one point somebody stole one of the brains. I don't remember if it was ever returned tho.

Watch out for the hungry zombies on the loose.

It was in Las Vegas.....My mom and Aunt went...they took pictures. Kinda creepy.....but fascinating too. I had nightmares. It F'ing sucks living in a big old creepy apartment by yourself.

If I were a zombie I'd steal random brains... because otherwise I'd have to eat someone I loved and I bet I'd feel remorse like zombie Spider-Man did when he ate MJ and Aunt May.

I took a trip in high school to Chicago when the Bodies exhibit came to the museum there. I don't see anything wrong with it. It was very interesting. A little grossed out a first but I got over it. It was my Anatomy and Phisiology class that took the trip so I had been learning about that stuff all year.

*Ecto Jedi* · 11-03-2007, 10:19 PM

Reminds me of House on Haunted Hill.

*KROW* · 11-03-2007, 11:17 PM

Hmm... A cadaver carnival. Sounds interesting.
