Hey guys, I know I've posted a ton on this already but I just thought that this article was very interesting. I've been looking at different articles on bodies exhibits for a different class this semester but I came across this one. It's about how they're shutting down a bodies show in France because it was declared indecent. In fact, the decision could apparently make all French museams to remove bodies and skeletons from display. I just think that it's such an interesting contrast compared to how the body exhibit is viewed here. Although the French still flock to view the visit (I'm fairly certain that the article says that they have had a steady stream of visitors), their law is actually trying to stop it. This is the first article that I've come across showing a country or region with this kind of reaction. I think that there's something to be said for both sides the more that I look at the issue but I just thought that I would share since I've posted so many other things about the bodies exhibit.
