Take a look on the inside

Tomorrow D, a dear friend, and I are going into London to check out the latest Body Worlds exhibit. This controversial show is a real look at the insides of our bodies. People have donated their dead bodies to the project. They go through a process called plastination.

"The process of plastination involves removing all bodily fluids and soluble fat from the specimen to stop decomposition.

The fluids are then replaced through vacuum-forced impregnation with reactive resins and elastomers, such as silicon rubber and epoxy."

I have been part of some amazing dissections in my life and have managed to attend a cadaver workshop while in massage therapy school, but this is something I have only dreamed of. The ability to see tissue in action.


The name of this particular exhibition is "The Mirror of Time". They apparently have a whole section designated to the "obesity crisis". My hope is that it allows the people to show and tell without a dialog.


A reaction will be posted after the event!
