I took my wife and daughter to the Arizona Science center to see Body Worlds 3.

“BODY WORLDS 3 was created by anatomist, Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of Plastination—the groundbreaking method of anatomical specimen preservation. This technology allows authentic specimens to be displayed in a lifelike fashion for instruction and education, giving you an opportunity to appreciate what it really means to be human. “

uh Freaky. We didnt visit the section that has some unborn children in it. Probably not the best place to take a 6 year old since all of the models are anatomically correct. I mean what is the point of putting the nipples back on the women? You remove the skin and replace the nipples – whatever. Various portions of the bodies were removed. It was rather interesting to view but I could have done without all the uh … reproductive organs.

There was a lung cancer specemin there. Clearly showing real lungs damaged by smoking and also an undamaged pair. If you smoke – you are an idiot for doing so.

I guess you must go see it with all the controversy about it. It is worth viewing, but sheesh its also kinda rough.
