more bodies exhibit and the black market

Hey guys! The link that I posted was just to see the link to the Atlanta tickets so I thought that if any of you were interested I would post the link to the exhibit. You can read about the systems they're preserving and the process that they go through to preserve the bodies and organs.

This is the real bodies exhibit link...that was just for tickets!

I read the home page and came across the bottom:

Countless visitors have remarked that the knowledge gained from the experience has provided them with a new connection to their own bodies. Others claim a new reverence for life and a desire to take a more preventative approach to their health care. To quote writer and philosopher John Conger whose words are displayed in the exhibition, “Without the body, the wisdom of the larger self cannot be known.”

I think that this was an interesting way to look at it. Instead of detracting from the body and how people view it, perhaps it puts them more in touch with their body and will take better care of it.

I also found this article on the bodies exhibit: Exclusive: Secret Trade in Chinese Bodies
It's a really interesting article about the exhibit and about how perhaps some of the bodies were executed Chinese prisoners.
There is also an article about the black market in bodies: N.Y., China Investigating Black Market in Bodies

Now this DOES mess with the sanctity of the body. I'm just saying.
