Went to see "Bodies ~the Exhibit"
Today I took Sharayah to downtown Indianapolis...it is my mom's hometown. I have pictures of her and her girlfriends and siblings posing by the Circle Monument when she was a teen. Sharayah and I went to the Bodies Exhibit. (went to lunch at PF Changs first...didn't know how it would feel looking at our insides)lol It was unreal. The whole human body from different views....inside out....babies at every stage from conception to birth. We were even allowed to hold a human brain and a heart. It was a very interesting display. I found this explanation below of how they had the bodies donated.....
-------
...visitors took in an exhibit called "BODIES, the Exhibition," which features twenty actual human cadavers from China with their skin replaced with a clear plastic substance that exposes their internal organs. The bodies are displayed in poses like "Soccer Player" and "Running Man" (pictured above).
According to the Chinese government, the cadavers are Chinese people who died of natural causes and whose bodies went unclaimed or unidentified before being turned over to a medical school in China.....etc...
