Title: "Bodies" display
Post by: Gonesouth1234 on March 19, 2011, 08:24:47 AM
Has anyone seen this display?

TULSA — "BODIES ... The Exhibition," featuring actual human bodies and specimens that show how the skeletal, muscular, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory and other body systems work, continues, 10 a.m. daily through April 22, The Village at Woodland Hills, 6808 S. Memorial Dr. Information: Chris West, 918-806-2039.

This is from the KOKI calendar.

It has been advertised quite a bit, and held over for whatever reason.

Will it ever end? Those weird billboards of cadavers playing volleyball give me the heebie jeebies.

Plus the very serious ethical issues present.
QuoteNew York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo concluded his investigation of Premier, finding "The grim reality is that Premier Exhibitions has profited from displaying the remains of individuals who may have been tortured and executed in China. Despite repeated denials, we now know that Premier itself cannot demonstrate the circumstances that led to the death of the individuals. Nor is Premier able to establish that these people consented to their remains being used in this manner. Respect for the dead and respect for the public requires that Premier do more than simply assure us that there is no reason for concern. This settlement is a start."[17]

Wife and I went a few months ago. If you're interested in human anatomy and physiology, then it's worth the trip. I'm not as into it as my wife is, so it was 80% interesting, 20% creepy.
