Although I didn't get a chance to personally view it, I did develop photos that a customer had dropped off. We were informed in advanced and told to look thru them if we wanted. I am truly glad I did, because I was so awestruck at what I saw! Maybe I'm a bit wierd, but I was so fancinated at what we look like on the inside! It could be too, that I'm surrounded by a family of medical professionals and I can appreciate their passion for their work and this was as close to it as I'll ever get.Barbara Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642520068577787737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791684908320739466.post-87890636458888817802008-12-16T18:44:00.000-08:002008-12-16T18:44:00.000-08:00Sounds both fansinating & scary and that it wa...Sounds both fansinating & scary and that it was a great experience for your boys.Sassy Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295973183993287428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791684908320739466.post-27801285202121708372008-12-16T18:02:00.000-08:002008-12-16T18:02:00.000-08:00Wow!

We happened to be standing near a doctor who explained that the "hurdler" was probably in his seventies and had been ill for awhile before he died. After that the postures seemed a little misleading, though I understand the impulse to make a varied and dramatic display.<BR/><BR/>I had not thought about the embryos and children's bodies being donated. It's so much harder imagining someone doing that than donating his or her own body or that of, say, a spouse who loved science or education.<BR/><BR/>My favorite was the display of nerves, absent other tissue, cascading down a glass plate in finer and finer gradations. Wow.<BR/><BR/>I still find the plastinator guy pretty creepy, and the exhibit fascinating tinged with creepy.grrlpuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755649595417118072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791684908320739466.post-58217478678439046862008-12-16T09:53:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:53:00.000-08:00I would not have made it through the first exhibit...I would not have made it through the first exhibit without puking.
