Question: So I visited the Bodies Exhibit in NYC & it does not say where the bodies came from!?
I recently visited the Bodies Exhibit while visiting NYC!.
I enjoyed the exhibit being a biology student but throughout the time there I noticed the bodies all or at least mostly being Chinese!. This made me start to wonder where they got these 'bodies' from and I thought it was strange there really was no explanation given!. I looked up and found this 20/20 report and thought I would share and ask for others opinions, thoughts and comments!. Videos are a little lengthy but worth the watch!.
The educational and entertainment purposes of the exhibit are definitely there but the thought of my body being sold on the black market to be dissected and displayed without my consent for these rich people running it to get richer is rather disturbing to me after the fact and I wish I had done the research a bit before going and paying my $25 and really am not quite sure that I would still do so now!.

Wow!. I went to a similar exhibit in Las Vegas this summer!.!.!. although I don't recall the name of it!. Before hand, I thought that all of the bodies were voluntarily displayed!.!.!. but after listening to and reading all of the information that you provided, I am not sure!. It is rather sick if you ask me!. Maybe some of them were black market and others were placed there on a volunteer basis!.
Thanks for all of the information!. It has got me thinking =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
