Announced that the "Bodies.." Exhibit is coming to town for the fall. I had never heard that the "donated" bodies were Chinese prisoners before.

That makes me queezy.

Responses:

The one I've seen, Bodyworlds, goes to some length to explain how all of its bodies were obtained from volunteers. Whether this is a different show - Roger More Aug 11, 14:14 4
- there are volunteers and then there are those who are volunteered -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 14:35
- BodyWorlds uses only volunteers (see wiki link). Their competitors do not have a donor program and may have questionable sources - TWuG Aug 11, 14:19
- there is a long waiting list too (so to speak) -- nm - zork Aug 11, 14:16 1
  - Looks like Winnipeg is (unsurprisingly) getting the "cheap" Asian knockoff. That doubles down on my reservations. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 14:18
from what I've read, there are serious questions about the provenance of the bodies used in the exhibit - znufrii Aug 11, 14:13 9
- I have a serious question about the word provenance. PRO-veh-nance or PRAH-ve-nance? - Dr.Vermin Aug 11, 14:16 7

  - it sounds lovely in oration though. -- nm - TFox Aug 11, 14:18 2
    - I've never visited Oratia, but I hear the language is beautiful. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 14:28
    - you've developed an oral fixation -- nm - zork Aug 11, 14:25

  - Yeah, I don't get that euphemism either -- nm - jaxsean SI Aug 11, 14:17
  - pro-, pronounced as in prod -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 14:17
- Yep. Your IM is what the wiki of this exhibit says...... -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 14:15
I think that's a myth -- nm - zork Aug 11, 14:11
We saw it in Vegas. It's pretty interesting. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 11, 13:55
