For months now, Honolulu has been hosting the “Bodies” exhibition; where previously live bodies were “rubberized” and dissected for your viewing pleasure. While it can be fascinating to learn the parts of the human body and what they look like dissected, I’m not sure I’m so comfortable about this being an exhibition. (And apparently so are many other people here in Honolulu — the exhibit seems to be lasting longer, and ticket prices keep getting reduced.)

The exhibition is controversial for reasons that include where the bodies come from and how China is making a “business” out of mummifying body parts.

What are your thoughts on the exhibition: cool or criminal? (And where are the PETH (People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans) during all this…? )
