Thread Name: BS: Plastination: Exhibition of Human Body
Subject: RE: BS: Plastination: Exhibition of Human Body
An issue beneath this exhibit is the dodgy source records for the cadavers from which the plastinated bodies are made. A recent article I read suggested that there are sources which are questionably ethical in their concepts of "provenance"... creating another level to ponder when looking over the "piece of work".

Sorry to seem negative to the fascination with this new technology of display, but these were folks who came from somewhere, and I can't help but wonder about them.
