Bodies The Exhibition

[spiffy]

I put this in free speech because there is some parts of this exhibit that have really honked some people off.

We went and saw it today and it was AMAZING!! Makes me look at every motion I make in a different way. Also nice to go see something that makes politics, drama, and all the other crap good and bad in life seem like total, petty, BS. When you are staring at your central nervous system spralled out on a table under a glass case....it kind of alters the perspective that you had before you came in the door.

It was expensive though....$24 a person...I was about to say head
Really cool thing to see and very thought provoking. =D>

I saw a special on that on the Science Channel. I really wanna see it but it's not coming to L.A. Incredibly cool. And everyone in the display volunteers so I see nothing wrong with it.It's better than the normal way of viewing the inside of a body for medical study. And less messy.

I remember one of those things got busted because the bodies were "seeping."

This I love.
Incontrovertible evidence of the miracle that not only surrounds us
but is us. . . . and dogs and cats and bugs and birds.

The process they use to preserve them is amazing. One of the most eye popping exhibits was the veins and arteries shown throughout the entire body....they injected a compound into the blood stream that hardened and then they used a chemical that took all the organic matter off leaving nothing but millions and millions of blue and red rivers encased in glass and under low light....incredible. They also did a nice job of starting the exhibit out slow with bones and the internal structure and then they built the body up form the skeleton outward to include reproduction and the fetus and then ended with medical practices such as hip replacement, steel plates to secure broken bones.
