Body Worlds

[SLCFranciscan]

The exhibit was here about a year ago and I refused to attend.  Some people were shocked because forensic medicine is my profession. I explained to them that when we do autopsies, it is to further criminal justice and find causes of death.   I felt that "Body Worlds" was disrespectful and exploitative to the deceased.  Interestingly, lots of my NO friends went, but none of my fellow trads did.

I apologize for my use of the word fetus, it's just the way I'm used to referring to an unborn baby, you can't use baby in school papers or most arguments so I got out of the habit of using baby.

I have heard that they are working on experimental procedures to save these pregnancies, if you have any information about these procedures, or there success rate I would love to see it. I wasn't aware that they were past the experimental phases yet however.

On the issue of body worlds, I think they are down right creepy. I wanted to go to it when it came to my state, but then decided that it was morbid and weird.
