I don't see much objection to what we have facilitated in China, or what seems to be just ahead on the world stage. This is small potatoes.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to see something like, this let alone pay to!
This “museum” is absolutely despicable. And it’s unfair that I should have to be subjugated to its gruesome advertisements.
Almost as unfair as the dead having their innards put on display because some enterprising person bought them.
Add executed prisoners to the list.
Too gruesome for me.
It’s sadistic “art”.
Hey Jack! Check this out!
I don’t see anything wrong with showing cadavers to the general public. However, there is absolutely no excuse for exporting unclaimed bodies in order to make a profit.
If this display was primarily about educating people about the body, it would have been put in a library or museum to be seen for free, not a traveling, profiteering circus.
They say that there is “no way to tell”. I’m thinking of the TV Show Bones right now...
They can’t be serious when they say there is no possible way - DNA tests, and marks on the bones and such related to torture - unless the plasticizing process destroys such things.
Regardless, while I may not disagree with the project itself in a purely educational way, to use discarded bodies from China makes it SO questionable. Exploitive to say the least...
As I said in my post above this - there is no doubt that if given the opportunity people would willingly donate their bodies for this project. AND, this should be presented in a museum, or medical college/library or the like. The fact that this is a traveling profitable “freak” show, makes it disgusting and immoral IMHO...
Wonder if there is any truth to the claim that the exhibits have been wildly successful.
And yes, there are people who are addicted to looking at the dead. On the Internet and in this intance.
I had to look it up:
Plastination is a technique used in anatomy to preserve bodies or body parts. The water and fat are replaced by certain plastics, yielding specimens that can be touched, do not smell or decay, and even retain most microscopic properties of the original sample.
From Wikipedia.
I got mine at Wal*Mart.
I have seen the “Bodies” exhibit; when it came to Atlanta. While I found it to be a bit gruesome, it WAS a valuable visual lesson to any person in or studying to get into the healthcare field.
As do I.

Totally amazing what greed will make a person do. /sarc
