The lack of muscle tone and poor dental health really makes you think about how these specimens were obtained, and knowing that the Chinese are limited on the number of children each family is allowed made the in-vitro exhibit even that much more disturbing. Truly creepy on so many levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099305145826603080.post-3562350148597922072008-05-15T07:45:00.000-05:002008-05-15T07:45:00.000-05:00Well after that review I may never eat chicken aga...Well after that review I may never eat chicken again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099305145826603080.post-83065346457485349932008-05-14T19:26:00.000-05:002008-05-14T19:26:00.000-05:00Nicely done "anonymous!"

Defending the right of the departed (there is currently a major investigation into the acquisition of the cadavers) AND forcing yourself to include a part c)!<BR/><BR/>I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on the fetuses, so much to the point that I did not even want to rethink about them in writing the original blog.<BR/><BR/>PS. When speaking (or writing) in parenthetical comments, it's almost as if I'm implementing the Shakespearian Literary Device of an "aside," (as I do believe it's called. "A curse on both your houses.")kwkorpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984706965130443465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099305145826603080.post-8859881192384754492008-05-14T18:48:00.000-05:002008-05-14T18:48:00.000-05:00a.

I went with my anatomy class to the exhibit and I hated it. Not only was I slightly disgusted, I found the whole thing highly unethical. Putting unclaimed, unidentified bodies on display?? And furthermore dragging them all over the country for millions of curious eyes? People gawking and remarking "ewwwww" or "sick!" at a specimen that at one point was a living, feeling human being that did not consent to such treatment is terrible. The section with the babies and fetuses (or just the babies, depending on what you believe) was by far the worst part, though. It makes me mad just thinking about it...<BR/><BR/>c.
