After I read Patty's posting about the taste buds. I found this article in The News Tribune about the display of "Bodies..The Expedition" that is in Seattle through December. It was in the Soundlife Section of the Sunday October 1, 2006 Paper, I have not heard about it before. It is a exhibit of many preserved corpses that show the human muscular, skeletal, respiratory and nervous systems in great detail. At first sight of the photos I was taken aback but then as I read about it more I discovered it is actually something that can be very educational. What I am more surprised about is that this is a huge contraversial world wide exhibit. My thought is, isn't this what scientist have done for years as a way of learning about the human body. What a spectacular way for us to learn about the human body and its functions. What is so contraversial is "Is it Science or show biz"? Personally I think it would be a little wierd to see a skinless body that you are aware was a real person but I can not help but think of how much knowledge we can gain from this opportunity. I would encourage anyone who was interested in this to see News Tribune Website and check it out.
Here is the address for the website to the full story.
