PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS EXHIBIT!!
For the following reasons...
*These are real human corpses that were NOT donated.
*All of the bodies come from china from plastination plants and sold for as little as $300 each for exportation.
*The bodies used are "unclaimed bodies"....therefore these people didn't volunteer their body to be displayed for people to gawk at. It is also highly likely that people were not notified of their loved ones death/body so it could be sold to the plastination industry that has developed in China. Also, these bodies could be from tortured prisoners or political prisoners.
*Tickets go anywhere from $25-35 & all of the proceeds go towards the company (Premier Exhibitions) and a middle man from China who is running these plastination plants.
Unfortunately, I did not know all of the above when I went to see this exhibit. I have to admit that these are the best dissections and preserved specimens that I have ever seen...BUT after many questions that I had after this exhibit....where did the bodies come from? Who in their right mind will consent to their conjoined twin to be displayed? Where are the proceeds going? Where did the fetus' come from? I did my research & was appalled by what I found. Leaving me feeling guilty of contributing to the chinese plastination industry & body extortion....
So PLEASE DON'T SEE THIS EXHIBIT...if you care about human rights.
