Subject: RE: BS: Plastination: Exhibition of Human Body
I'd go see the exhibit. I don't happen to believe there's anything sacred about remains, and if the meat that's left after I'm gone could help someone in any way, I'd be happy.

My mother donated her body to a teaching hospital. While I wouldn't have wanted to see her body being disected, I think she made a good decision. There are a few doctors who learned where a pancreas is because of my mother. Most average people don't get to see people's innards, and I think it would be a good learning experience for those who choose to go.

After all, who hasn't heard the phrase, 'It's what's inside that counts'?
