However, I feel the display is extremely unique, eye-catching, and brings the education of anatomy, physiology and the amazing human body to millions of people who would never have learned about this subject if cadavers were kept hidden in university anatomy labs. Having seen the Body Worlds exhibit multiple times, I can say that the bodies are described and displayed with the utmost respect to human form and function. There is also a large educational component to teach people about general anatomy/physiology, but also the physical repercussions of our lifestyle choices (smoking, drugs, overeating, etc.) I will agree with you that the visual aspect of the Body Worlds exhibit strikes some people as “bizarre & freakish”.

On one hand, to use cadavers as medical 'vehicles' for discovery and learning betters all people, but to exhibit corpses in such fashion I think is bizarre and freakish. Would Jesus likely go to an exhibit like this? No. I think its disgusting.

I took human anatomy and dissection in college, and we were briefed every day and during the process to hold the cadavers in respect and dignity. This show does not offer these types of respect, they are a travesty and injustice. I am appalled, disgusted, and despairing at how low our society has become. This does not say well for our humanity, sensitivity and future as a human species on this planet. I agree with the dissenters.

Everyone has their own opinion and perception. I still look at it as a fantastic educational opportunity for people and as long as the exhibits are done tastefully and with science in mind (both of which I feel have been well done), I only see respect for the people who have donated their bodies, the wonder of life, and the human body.

The 1st time I was amazed by the anatomy and how the body is amazingly designed.. The second time I went,.(3 years later).. was completely different. I kind of wish I hadn't gone. I don't know why, but I had a sick, feeling.. a sad feeling. I had this feeling that, inside that really, this wasn't right. I kept feeling sad thinking that these people had mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, feelings, wives, husbands.. and yet being displayed like an animal or piece of meat for all to see,. cheapened that life to me. I would never want a relative of mine displayed in such a way,.. cut up into pieces and sections.. In ancient times many culture's biggest disgrace was to be denied a proper burial in death,.. As punishement, some were even dismembered and placed on stakes for public viewing.. This exhibit made me feel the same way towards these poor people.. They were denied a decent burial. Kind of cheapens life.. That's the feeling I got the 2nd time I went. I won't be going a 3rd time. Human bodies should buried in earth or cremated. That shows proper respect for life. Just imagine one of your loved ones as one of those bodies sliced in different sections for everyone to look at like a freakshow. It kind of changes things doesn't it.
