When I heard that Bodies was coming to Kansas City, I was excited because I had heard so much talk about the exhibit. Now at Union Station in Kansas City, Bodies Revealed fascinating + real, is earning a lot of hype, but I'm not sure if I'm all that interested in attending.
I have asked a few people if they are going to attend the exhibit and all of them but one has enthusiastically replied. My sister, who apparently attended the exhibit in Denver, enlightened me of some startling findings about the popular exhibit. Not only is the exhibit making mass profits off tickets that are $25 a pop, but many of the bodies have not be voluntarily donated, and some are speculated to be executed prisoners from China. Furthermore, the way in which the bodies are preserved and shipped seems highly unethical.
20/20 aired a feature earlier this month that has left me with unsettling feelings about whether or not I will choose to make the trip to Union Station to see the plasticized bodies.
I urge everyone to watch the 20/20 feature. It is in two parts, each of them ethically alarming. It will take 20 minutes of your time, but it is fascinating!

I had seen commercials and bilboards for this. I think it would be very interesting to attend, just to see what the human body looks like preserved.
