Have you seen the exhibit Bodyworlds?

If not, do you plan to see it when it comes to a museum near you?

If you have, was it interesting?

    I saw it 3 times.

    It was interesting because it's something you really cannot see anywhere else. Noone else has perfected plastination to the degree that this man has. The exhibits are fascinating, there is one of a horse with a man on his back, but through the preservation process the horse is about 25 feet tall with a 9 foot tall man on its back, really exaggerated and giganticly huge. The process they use called plastination really makes the tissues elastic so they can stretch and mold the body into shapes and elongate the limbs it's really fascinating.

    Go see it!

    No. But I might have a look when it comes to a museum near me.

    I saw the exhibit- "The Universe Within"- when it was here in SF.

    It was really interesting seeing what our bodies look like on the inside but it also brought up ethical questions- who's bodies were these? Were these bodies donated to science legally?

    Besides all that, it was very educational

    It was amazing! I thought I would be grossed out, but really I found it very interesting.
