I see dead people!


We went to the 'B0dy worlds' exhibit in Salt Lake today. This was copied from it's website so we can give you an idea of what it is:


'BODY WORLDS 3 is a first-of-its-kind exhibit where visitors learn about anatomy, physiology and health by viewing real human bodies. The bodies are preserved through plastination, which is a groundbreaking method for specimen preservation invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in 1977. BODY WORLDS 3 & the Story of the Heart features more than 200 authentic human specimens including whole body plastinates, organs, translucent body slices, and a special presentation on the heart.'
It was very cool. The way the bodies are preserved is pretty amazing.
