I wonder if this exhibition is produced by Gunther Von Hagens also?
I went to Gunther Von Hagens' exhibition in Liverpool "Bodyworlds" around 4-5 years ago. I think this is similar to what you guys saw.
I'm really fascinated with the plastination process that Von Hagens uses and seeing bodies first-hand with illnesses and animals was truly amazing. There were some really
good parts of the exhibition, and I can see why some would find it controversial.
The fetus room was rather one part, viewing fetuses from every week up to the week they are delivered. Coming from the uk abortions can legally be performed from 24-28 weeks, and viewing what a baby looks like then, was quite sad. Was really interesting to see first-hand what bodies actually look like though, how things like smoking damage our bodies for example, the exhibition was very much worth the money!
Von hagens used to have a live autopsy programme late night on TV, also interesting but not for the light-hearted!
Funnily enough there was controversy in Von Hagen's donated bodies in an article I read, which stated the company that he was associated with had taken bodies illegaly for small prices from dodgy mortuaries. Here is the article.
