Human Dead Bodies Display on Museums!

lizzey · (#1 (**permalink**))

I was watching a program about plastination (which is is a technique used to preserve bodies or body parts). In the museum the bodies are shown posing in many ways. One thing that disturbes me is that those bodies are just any bodies who have no identification. People just go to see them for entertainment. Also People don't know if those people let themselves for display. Some find them educational. The problem for me is that some of those bodies are from excuated prisoners from China. Then people make money of those bodies who are sold for $200 dollars a piece. It is just disgusting. The one in New York has made millions since is opening. There are bodies from donors who choose to give their body for display. I find that okay. Don't get me wrong not all exhibitions have bodies of excuated priosoners. BODIES... The Exhibition is the one having the problems. Well here are some images.

So those prisoners didn't have a choice in the matter? That is quite disturbing. Bad enough they got sentenced to death, let's preserve them and stick em in a glass case. But go donors and their generosity!
