Bodies: The Exhibition

I don't know how well this goes with the them, but check it out anyhow. There is a traveling show called "Bodies: the exhibition" and it displays real human cadavers in different ways. Some are shown as skeletons, others with muscles doing an exercise, and there are even some young fetuses that portray the different stages of a growing womb. It's a big controversy because the show is supposed to be a science exhibit and scientist are pretty much shunning the whole thing because of how the bodies are obtained. They aren't donated and the reigning theory is that the exhibit is using Asian criminals and unclaimed bodies. This is from the article: "In 2006, reporting from Dalian, China for the New York Times, David Barboza described "a ghastly new underground mini-industry" with "little government oversight, an abundance of cheap medical school labor and easy access to cadavers and organs."^[10] Premier representatives say "the bodies were not formally donated by people who agreed to be displayed."^[11] The director of the Anatomical Committee of the New York Associated Medical Schools (NYAMS) worries that "you have no documentation of who this is."
