| 422317 | 2006-02-02 19:44:00 | Out of interest, why do you think it's disgusting? Do you just have a weak stomach?Actually I do, a result of breathing in excessive toxic fumes once as a child, when I was inadvertently locked inside a shed in Russia. It affected my stomach, lungs and throat. However, that ain't the reason I'm so anti it... my missus is pretty ambivalent about it, so I can't rant at her. Therefore I must make my feelings known here :cool: I kinda regard it as a freak show. Remember my comment about necrophilia - well there's two meanings to the word, and I wasn't referring to the perverse one... just the weird fascination that people sometimes have with corpses. It's an attitude frequently displayed by barbaric peoples, eg the Somalis when they did nasty things with dead American troops during the Blackhawk Down fiasco. It just ain't natural to my mind, seeing some dead fella's innards. Why they couldn't just use plastic replicas is down to only one thing... commercialism, where people get drawn in by the unnatural or bizarre. People are so predictable. They're definitly onto a good thing judging by the number of positive responses in this thread. Both the objects in the display and the greed of the organisers sickens me, in equal degrees.

| 422320 | 2006-02-07 08:38:00 | I live in Australia and It opened in Sydney On Monday and I went to see it. A man that gave us a 10 minute explanation on the exhibition said it might not be going to NZ because of the image the media has portrayed it as. The People in the exhibition are in no way freaks, they have donated their bodies so that people can come to see where everything is and how everything works. It is such an amazing thing to go and see. I just wish they had brought more of the exhibition here (it took 8 months to get it through customs). I have seen a photo of a horse done how the bodies have been done and that would have really been brilliant to see. For all the people who have expressed outrage on this exhibition there is a simple solution... just don't go and see it. They aren't your bodies and it is what the people in it have wanted to do. |

Post the full gory details in the 'Holy Crap That Hurts' thread Metla - the more squeamish members will probably avoid that thread..... A |

| 422322 | 2006-02-07 09:48:00 | I'm a little squeamish and very arachnophobic. But I would go to see exhibition, primarily because medical books do not do justice. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 422323 | 2006-02-07 10:17:00 | After seeing some of the exhibits on display in Australia in a TV1 news item tonight, I'm even more convinced that seeing it would be a fascinating learning experience. I don't believe that any of the uncomplimentary adjectives in this thread applied to what I saw. I certainly hope it comes here. Each to his/her own opinion, of course, but it would be a pity if the anti-brigade (who presumably won't go anyway) make so much noise that they put a visit in doubt & rob others of the opportunity to see it. |

| 422324 | 2006-02-07 11:12:00 | I attended quite a few operations when I was nursing and found them absolutely fascinating, [apart from the amputation done with a surgical saw, that is! It was the grating sound that finished me off :eek: ] The human body is an incredible setup and it was all the medical studies and seeing the body parts working, the amazing ways the body sets up protective/defense mechanisms - be it tissues/organs/white blood cells, etc., that convinced me that an explosion - or whatever it was -that some people seem to think started evolution, is bollocks. [just stating my personal opinion, no desire to debate it thanks]. |
