[00:34] Stolen Bodies?
Whilst reading my New Scientist in bed last night I came across the article Putting bodies on display regarding the "Bodies...The Exhibition" exhibition that we went to see last week.
According to the article, and contrary to what the staff told me when I asked, the people (or bodies I guess would be more correct) on display did NOT give their consent to be stripped of their skin, eaten away by acid or otherwise folded, spindled and/or mutilated. The article states that:
...all the specimens used in Bodies were obtained legally from the Dalian Medical University and they are the bodies of unknown people, or people whose families never claimed them for burial.
There's more in an article entitled Who is running man? from the St Petersburg Times when the exhibition visited Tampa.
