I saw this exhibit once before at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. I am not 100% it was this exact exhibit (I believe it was though) but they had many bodies there in all different forums that were plastinated and it was actually very interesting.

As seen in this thread most people see this as sick and disgusting but its actually quite interesting and very informative if you are even VAGUELY interested in the human body. This exhibit that I saw was about 3 or 4 years ago I believe and I still remember one of the bodies that showed just primarily the vascular system. I don't know how it was done but it was incredible to see how complex our body is on the inside. People need to grow up if they think this is sick and twisted.

To see what I am talking about in Chicago go here:

Exactly. Tell you what, when my kids were little, they would have been a lot more interested in seeing an exhibit like that, then going to see boring plastic models that they could see anywhere. I've got exactly zero problem with this; it's not even an issue.
