What's the Big Deal?

Today Science World is opening a new exhibit: Body Worlds 3, and boy is it stirring up a lot of controversy. Real cadaverous on display. If you don't like the sound of it, if it grosses you out, if you are vehemently against, then just don't go see the exhibit. It's that simple. It's really nothing to get your knickers in a twist about. I do agree, it seems creepy, but it also sounds fascinating and will definitely go check it out. But then I have always loved biology, and was always first in line for dissection labs.

The exhibit gives the public the opportunity that only those in the medical profession get to see: what the human body is really like, and how it works. Personally, I would love to have a better (and visual) understanding of what lies beneath my skin.

If you are interested in this exhibit, check it out.

Have you seen the pic of the "Man admiring his own skin". It is so creepy, a body without skin holding up its own skin casing at arms length. Bletch!
