Have you guys read anything about this?

It's a process by which they infuse cadavers with a plastic polymer and preserve them. There is a huge exhibit touring the world with the cadavers and pieces and parts.

I have a link to the scientist who is responsible for the process if you'd like to learn more.....you can even donate yourself to his project.

Needless to say it is extremely controversial. Is it Science or just mutilation on exhibit etc?

I found it very interesting but am not sure I could handle the exhibit.

That was me too, is why I hunted it on the web. The point the scientist makes ( if I may be so bold as to shove words in his poor mouth) is that the human body is such an object of wonder and that people should know what they look like and how their parts work.

I think then that Pixies is practically a science exhibit, showing how people look and how the body parts work....

So long as they don't stack us up in stupid poses, I guess it would be ok. ha ha

I am sure someone out there will view this as an art form!

Yuck!

art form? that WOULD be demented. but as a science I think it’s amazing and who knows where it will lead. it doesn’t gross me out in the least and I’d be interested to see the exhibition, too. the specimens, so to speak, did donate their bods to science after all. and think of all the benefits we have now because the pioneers of science didn’t put aside what’s gross (and, yes, sometimes even unethical) in favor of discovery and advancement. da vinci used to have to steal his cadavers because the church and his society deemed it unethical to dissect the human body. and as far as we know he was the first person to create an anatomical sketch of the human body and it basically began an new era of medicine as a science. that was over 500 years ago and there is still so much we don’t know about human bodies. just think, if he hadn’t dared to explore maybe we’d all still be covered in leeches every time we caught a cold. :dizzy:

sorry bout the history lesson ...you may all go out for recess now

Art! Damn I walked in on the wrong thread! Whoops! Sorry!

I can just see some future scientist coming across one of these bodies and determining that carbon-based life forms were being replaced by plastic.

May be a scientific success ... but why?

Not sure if any of you have seen the pictures of the exhibit... the one picture I saw was that of a man and woman.. with a child on the shoulders of the man..... and the article further discribed a woman 8 months pregnant... (posing as if nude)... with the child in the womb exposed...

I don't think I could handle it either...

they don't allow any child under the age of 13 to view the exhibit without a parent or gaurdian.
