We saw it in Cleveland last year. Initially I was very impressed and fascinated to see our inner workings, especially the capillary model of the whole body. It kind of makes you take your body more seriously. I overheard many professional people at the exhibition having some very technical conversations. In talking about it with friends afterward, I was swayed more to the side of those who thought it was wrong and disrespectful to display bodies as art.

I thought it was worth seeing. My kids 7 & 13 were more facinated than grossed out. I think every smoker should have to look at the smoker's lungs versus the non smoker.

My husband, a physician, is dying to see this in Atlanta.

Bodyworlds fails to respect human dignity. It is more about show business and money, and could just as easily have been done without the use of real bodies. Stand Up for Human Dignity. See my website at http://homepage.mac.com/readers/dign...yinboston.html for more information thanks

I don't see how ignorance can be classified as dignity. Perhaps the more we know about our bodies the better we will take care of them. I imagine this exhibit has encouraged more than a few kids to go into medicine. The anti-science movement is starting to get a little scary. I can't wait to TRAVEL to a nearby city to see the exhibit.
