Do families have given real agreement ? NO ! Organizers are unable to prove the true origin of the bodies !!!!!!!!!! Only that, is shocking !!!<br>Sorry but in France there is a law that prohibit any "business" with real corpses... even for culture.<br>First: may be it could be more useful FIRST to use them for transplantation. No ?<br>Second: is it necessary (outside playing with our dark instincts) to use real corpses ? we don't have enough technology to copy realty ?<br>Third : is it so difficult to built an exhibit (that could be interesting for so many reasons ..even cultural and scientific) without beeing able to demonstrate the origin of the corpses ? <br><br>Science and culture : YES . Business on doubts : NO]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Philpastaga]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 24th 2009 8:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Body Exhibit Causes Controversy In France]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/21/body-exhibit-causes-controversy-in-france/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/21/body-exhibit-causes-controversy-in-france/</guid><description><![CDATA[Too bad. This is one of the most thoughtful and well-conceived exhibits I've ever seen. I heard the state of Florida is considering similar measures. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Willy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2009 7:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Body Exhibit Causes Controversy In France]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/21/body-exhibit-causes-controversy-in-france/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/21/body-exhibit-causes-controversy-in-france/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yet another way we refuse to confront our own mortality.  I think it's necessary to be able to understand the human body and these shows do demonstrate a vast amount of information that would somehow be less if it were done with dummies.  I remember trying to watch a live autopsy on television several years ago--couldn't do it.  I thought I wouldn't be able to go through the Bodies exhibit as well, but am glad I did.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[just me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2009 10:46AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
