My unbeliever friend Mr. Daly and I were talking about this exhibit that is making the rounds in different cities.  I think it is called the "Human Body Exhibit". In the exhibit they have taken the cadavers of people and exposed their internal makeup in different fashions, then posed the bodies to be doing something like shooting a basketball or throwing a baseball.  The bodies are preserved in plastic.  My comments to him about what  I thought were as follows:  Mr. Daly I think this exhibit is foul and disgusting.  I have my doubts where these bodies came from.  I suspected that perhaps they came from China and knowing the human rights records of the Communists it would not surprise me if they were political prisoners that ended up thrown out on the street and picked up by the modern day grave diggers. They then could make a profit, Wal-Mart wise,  by sending it to the United States for distribution.  I was not aware at the time that an ABC News special on 20/20 had confirmed those suspicions on a segment that aired February 15, 2008. 

I went on to tell Mr. Daly, "What disturbs me is that human life is made to be so cheap that it is commercialized.  These people had mothers and fathers. Perhaps even daughters and sons. Family that loved them while they were alive and then while not even being asked, taken to a back alley laboratory to be filleted and skinned for exhibition in the United States."

  The ghoulish curiosities that are somehow satisfied looking at this has little or no educational value. It is just something to get a chill from, like you might at a chain-saw massacre movie.  I can imagine that there will be some field trips planned for the exhibition coming to Albuquerque by some crackpot teacher dragging a swarm of giggly teenagers to see this modern-day freak show.  Entertainment in education, but basically entertainment.

There is such a devalue of people while they are alive then to take some unfortunate man or woman by no choice of their own and have their bodies used like this for profit. I understand that the show fetches between $15 and $25 per person.  I am not sure if there is a senior or child discount.  The CEO of the exhibit admitted to huge profits in the millions for his exhibitions.  The family of these people get nothing. If you are unaware of what happens to prisoners in Chinese prisons that are executed it may surprise you. The execution is performed with a bullet at the back of the head. The family is sent a bill for the bullet.  With this Communist attitude toward life it is no wonder that when the body is scooped out of anything of value the carcass is plasticized and made into a commercial product. Imagine the horror of a family knowing what happened to a loved one that was used like this.

The whole exhibit is a profit making venture done on the backs of grieving families who never gave permission to have their loved ones displayed in such a manner.  Certainly none of those bodies on display were given permission by their occupants to do such an icky procedure  for a goulish   entertainment exhibit.

What is wrong with Americans to participate in this?
