SIGN of the TIMES:CORPSES EXHIBITION...Flayed and dissected,then soaked in acetone

"Fetuses,corpses and body parts on display at macabre exhibition is San Diego"
Bodies...The Exhibition, a display of plasticized human corpses, pre-born infants and hundreds of body parts, continues at Westfield University Towne Center in La Jolla. Originally scheduled to run through September, the presentation, which opened May 12 and is sponsored by Atlanta-based Premier Exhibitions, will now end in November. It is listed on UTC’s web site under the category “Miscellaneous, Movie and Entertainment.” The exhibit “is a must see,” according to a promotional flier. “At Westfield UTC, this striking new exhibition showcases real human bodies, giving visitors the opportunity to see themselves in a fascinating way like never before.”In the “plastination” process pioneered by German doctor Gunther von Hagens,dead people are flayed and dissected, then soaked in acetone to replace body fluids,and then placed into a vacuum chamber filled with liquid silicone or polyester resins.The acetone vaporizes within the chamber and is replaced by the silicone or polymer mixture,eventually turning the body into a rubbery substance resembling beef jerky that can be painted and posed.A similar exhibition at a Masonic hall in San Francisco in 2005,where corpses began leaking fluid,was banned after the board of supervisors adopted a measure prohibiting“the display of human remains without appropriate written authorization from the deceased or the deceased’s next of kin.”

PS:It never ceases to amaze me the human goulish potential...As an ex-normal human anatomy instructor at College,I cannot even fathom to have an exhibition of this kind outside a School of Medicine.To some it may be interesting to learn and explore human anatomy"live".To me there is a place and a way to do it.Hopefully these corpses had the appropriate written authorization from the deceased or the deceased next of kin...To me it's a desecration of the human body,not even to give it to science with an especific purpose...It seems that it satisfies the "curiosity" of many...Horrible...A true SIGN of the TIMES...
As in the days of Noah...
