Isn’t the human a piece of art? Not only the outside, but the inside as well. Especially the lungs and arteries, they look really beautiful!
I’ve been to an exhibition with real human bodies, preserved at a cellular level. I thought it would be about examining corpses, because the visit was arranged by the Indianapolis criminology professor, but in ( Read more... )

Not so much... :D Just... really awesome.

Oh, you saw it! There was an exhibition like that around here too, but I never got to see. I still regret it. It had animals too, I still remember the horse as it was featured on one of the promotion posters. It really impressed me.

I can see were some might find it "extreme", but I personally don't think so. After all, they are dead, isn't it better to use a body for studying than to just let it decay?

Yes, I had to see it! Yours had animals, too? Wow!

Yeap. Better use what you can, right? Be it stem cells or dead bodies. Besides, yes, considering those bodies would have probably decayed many years now, their owners might have been a bit happy to know that there is still something left of them.

WOW!! That looks really interesting!! I don't think it's "extreme" but I guess some would think so. *is amazed*

marilena_r March 21 2009, 07:19:45 UTC

You still have time to visit!

jillybean_6939 March 21 2009, 07:24:17 UTC

Yeah... I checked the dates and I'll try to go :D

BTW, since I'm on a jDrama roll, do you know if Kami no Shizuku is any good?

marilena_r March 21 2009, 07:28:27 UTC

Yeap! I think it's very good. Not the suspenseful or crazy kind of good, but it is interesting and gets more interesting by the episode.

THIS is a sign that we've gone too far?
this is a sign that human needs to learn bout their own body and life healthy
i won't be sleepy, even with 2,5 hours sleep, if i was there!!!!

marilena_r March 21 2009, 07:21:44 UTC

No, I don't think you would lose your sleep. The bodies are really like the models you see in some classes. You forget the fact that they are real.

elf_mirkwood March 21 2009, 13:02:52 UTC

u're sound not too excited..

marilena_r March 22 2009, 08:03:48 UTC

Mmm... Not too scared. But I am excited, yes!

This is really interesting! I wish they would make an exhibition here! That totally would deliver health awareness more effectly :D

marilena_r March 22 2009, 08:05:37 UTC

Health awareness is one of its purposes, yes! If only people found a reason to care more... Knowledge is just a first small step. :(
