exhibitionism
i'm not sure how i feel about this...
i read in the paper about the "controversial exhibit" of skinned human cadavers on display at a museum. for only $20US you could go and look at dead bodies that have been preserved and set up for our entertainment. how endearing.
now, don't get me wrong; i'm all for scientific research and education yada-yada-yada. however, i think i might have to agree with the concerns of the Anatomical Board that the display might not show proper respect for the bodies. seriously people! if i decided to donate my body to help train people to be better doctors or find cures for nasty ailments, i think i'd be a bit choked to find out that someone decided it would be a good idea to string my carcass up for people to walk by and gawk at.
the whole thing is creepy and disgusting and i hope one of the cadavers comes back to life and starts chasing people around the exhibit.

indeed.
what makes the whole thing worse is the fact that the bodies are unidentified and unclaimed!! that means the idiots who created this lovely display don't have permission from any of the deceaseds' families to do this!
the injustice of it all just makes me want to spit.
