And of course it's questionable where they get authority from to display cadavers like this. I find it hard to believe the dead persons gave their permission before they died. |

Well, it's good to hear that, as you might have a better understanding of what is going on in your body - fancy knowing what is that bubbling sound in your stomach? However, I find that normally after going to so-and-so exhibition, I will tend to forget everything that I learn there - like a waste of money. I still think that the best thing is to read a book as you get to keep it, though the practical part ought not to be ignored. Cheers :) |

| 422270 | 2006-01-19 13:55:00 | At times when certain hidden areas of my body (or those of family members) were either injured or malfunctioning, I'd have been delighted to see exactly where those are and what they actually look like. The real thing would make it much clearer than an X-ray, lead to greater understanding of the problem, and hopefully help in following instructions for the repair or cure. For those who find it "disgusting" or "gross" - does that mean you think only medical professionals & undertakers should be interested in the way the human body is put together? What rubbish. Most young people have never seen a dead body, except perhaps lying in a coffin. As you age, and find yourself responsible for older relatives, or see friends develop terminal cancer, caring for the dying means that death itself sadly becomes no novelty. Like pixeldust, who started the thread, I too would find the exhibition interesting. I hope it comes to Dunedin. As for other attitudes, that's simple. If the prospect makes you squeamish, you won't go. Don't blame others who do. P.S. And I'm sure the subjects would've given permission before they died, Greg. Not only would their relatives have kicked up hell otherwise & refused participation - as they could - but maybe the subjects thought this was a type of international immortality they preferred to a gravestone or box of ashes. It takes all kinds... |

| 422274 | 2006-01-19 18:54:00 | Just want to clarify that it's not Körperwelten which is coming to NZ, it's actually called "The Amazing Human Body Exhibition". Whereas the German made Körperwelten (BodyWorlds) is more art than science, the exhibition coming to NZ focuses more on the medical aspects of the human body, though its relatively similar in regards to how the bodies are presented and preserved. I figure without changing jobs and becoming (as someone said) a surgeon or an undertaker, I have very little chance to ever see the inside of a human body. Nothing sick or macabre about it. I'm suprised this offends so many people.. |
