Bodies Exhibit
Alex C:
Yeah, I wouldn't go to that one then. I've seen the German based exhibit, which was OK, I guess. I'm neither fascinated by such things or easily creeped out, but heading up to the Twin Cities with friends for an exhibit beat the hell out of sitting on the couch, even if it was for something I wasn't particularly interested in. I'm completely fine with people getting to choose what they want to be done with their bodies, but that doesn't really have any bearing on people possibly being murdered and having their bodies put on display.
Cartilage Head:
They had something similar here in Florida. I didn't go.
Emaline:
We've had an exhibit like that here for awhile. Someone promised me they'd take me but haven't yet. It leaves on March 2nd, so I am hoping to go soon.
Sox:
The original "Body World" exhibit was controversial enough, (we had a rather long debate about it back in college) but all these new "Bodies" exhibits are taking the concept much farther, which is just unnecessary. I agree with the point made in the second article that it is a 'cheapening' of human life. A single body, donated with consent by the original owner, is curious enough, but having dozens of bodies on display of questionable origins is something that should be fazing us just a little more than it seems to be.
People like Arnie Geller are, I believe, contributing to the desensitisation of society, and whatever the reasons for doing so, that is a very dangerous direction for us to be heading in.
KharBevNor:
All I know is that Gunter von Hagen is a creepy motherfucker.
