we saw it when last may while it was here in Denver. my wife still refuses to eat chicken.

one thing i wish they posted with each body is the age and cause of death.

Here it was called Bodies: The Exhibition. I went twice! Of course, I'm studying to be a doctor now too...





Please don't go a third time; It is a direct rip-off of Body Worlds' intellectual property, using bodies from questionable sources.

QFT.

It is direct from China and some other countries, and the bodies are rumored to be from people put on death row (which is a lot of them and most are just political prisoners).

That's awesome. Though I can't imagine being the guys that did that work.

The human body is sure quite something.

pfft these are plastic (i do realize how they are made) Anyone in med school or in an advanced physiology course gets to see the real thing. We had a cadaver who was split down the middle into left and right sections from the top of his head to his waist. You could see his nose hairs all the way up the nostril because his head was split perfectly in two, and that is a real actual carcass in front of you.

that?s nothing. On my cadaver we cut out her clit. I had no idea it was so big. Dr. Graffenberg was a genius!!!

you forget, with plastic there is no smell. my cadaver was pretty rank when we were done with her. Vicks was my best friend during that time.

They're not plastic though, real human bodies preserved.

Though you might have been sarcastic in that statement :confused:

I'd almost think that'd ruin it for me, every time I'd end up thinking of that class :eek:

I've gone through several cadavers @ an anatomy class last year, it was pretty interesting and all them had a unique smell. Especially the female one :confused:

But I do wish I could visit body worlds, they are much better looking that the real thing :D :Q :eek: ;)
