Cadaver exhibit



I was visiting Tampa, FL earlier this week and I saw a news clip about an exhibit featuring human cadavers. They were sliced up, diced up and preserved in various poses. Some group called the Florida Anatomical Board was trying to block the exhibit from opening. They believed that the relatives of these corpses didn't know that they were being put on display. This is probably true since the bodies came from China and were supposedly unclaimed. Never-the-less they opened the exhibit two days ahead of schedule. All the press that they got from the controversies will probably make this feature much more popular than it would have been otherwise. Even bad press seems to be good press sometimes.
