on second thought...

i make an ammendment to my previous post on the bodies exhibit. not too bad that i can't go.
apparently the cadavers that are on display aren't documented as having actually donated themselves (while alive of course), and with many of the political issues in china, this could be very very bad.
apparently the person who is responsible for the exhibit is also not liscensed as an anatomist would be to obtain human cadavers. so there has been some major inquiry by the health department (at least).
these issues were raised by my anatomy instructor, and he mentioned something else which i had thought of because it applied to me, but i didn't really think much further on it. the exhibit costs $25 to get in, which i definately can't afford, and the claim on this exhibit is that is touring around for educational purposes. what that really means is educating a portion of the population that can actually shell out that much money, which kind of goes against the principle of public education now doesn't it?
i do think it would be useful to see well dissected cadavers that haven't been dessicated over the period of three months, but the shady ethics of this display are overwhelming.
