“We as a society have lost respect for the value of life.”
Have you seen the exhibit? I don’t think so, because if you had, you wouldn’t find it disrespectful at all. The human body is an amazing machine, a fact that many don’t really think about. When viewing the multiple systems of the body, and seeing how intricate and detailed the interaction between systems is, it creates an appreciation for life, and the gift of a healthy human body. Nothing about this exhibit minimizes the value of life.
If you’re EMS, then you’re probably looking for places to tape.
So true. I saw a TV mini doc on this and they had healthy organs next to those eaten away by cancer. In particular—the lungs. I could see this exhibit creating many dreams of a future in the medical field or as you suggested, a healthy lifestyle. Having said all that, where the specimens come from is an issue for me. *darn it*
