Default BODYWORLDS Exibition in London Today! Some Awesome Pics!!

Remember the German Guy who did the autopsies on telly? Well, we went to see his exhibition today at the o2! MY GOD! it was incredible!

To think that these 'exhibits' were once living breathing REAL people was out of this world!

So here are some pics for those of you who are interested to see!

Sorry they arent that good, they were on my phone!



This was an actual feotus... it mesmerised me, to think already it had it fingers developing was incredible!












This was very sad, to think a woman had died somehow, with her unborn baby still inside her, but so incredible to see.



Im still amazed that these were real people!

Cross sections






This one was VERY eeery! you could still see the guys hair on the skin!!!










Being an avid horse rider all my life, this particular exhibited amazed me!














Non smoker lungs...


Smoker lungs...




You can really see it in the pic, but this guy had metal joints, and they cut away to see them!




Chicken!


Wabbit!


Old man....




From our tongue to out bottom!








Now this one shows a healthy man on the left, and then an obese man on the right!!!!!


AWESOME exhibition!!

Radleigh... they are REAL people who have agreed to have their bodies 'plastiosised' after they have passed away.

maria this aint to argue with you first before you read this

but i think its bollox that ANYONE aggreed to that being done,,,,, reason for this is what pregnant women is thinking about her death aswell as what children/fetus can make such a choice also ?

recon they have agreed to leave there boddy to science and some of em are bodies that aint been accounted for or poor poor countrys

i might be talking bollox but the children NEVER agreed to that

they showed GENUINE FORMS that a DEAD PERSONN left ?

and the kids who,,,,, cant make a true desision till they are 18 years old ALSO done this then got younger

the proof of this is ?

honestly think about it for a moment, i know the history of the hospitals and how body snatching was done and hospital trusts bought these bodys due to nobody wanting to leave there bodys to science,,,, then it stopped when someone from a hospital got sent down setting a president

so anything to do with medical science i dont belive,,,,, a fetus with no fingers signing a form is just one example

as said this wasnt a dig at you as i understand its a taboo subject for some and you can get touchy at times and think it was personal at you

i just dont trust the doctor at all, hes seems shifty

There was a documentary on TV a little while back about this, could have been last year, which I watched but it did make my skin creep, and he's a borderline psycho.

Whilst the anatomy is interesting It just doesn't seem right to me.

Ginge - they showed forms that people obviously signed, and agreed to before they died, and the reasons why they wanted their bodies to be exhibited in this wa.

But

I can completely see what you are saying.

fetus and baby are different things, abortion is not done when there is feelings ect

abortion is wrong but what is worse,,,,,,, not being born or being born and having no stable family/suport and never being wanted

wasnt is china where parents where dumping children in the street due to there 1 child rule and peope not being happy with the child they was blessed with,,,, so dumped them/killed them ect ect so they could have another child

i agree with bodys being chopped up for science as its important for us to save people

but putting a show on for paying people to EARN MONEY is not the same IMO and im not sure how i feel about it or if i agree with it

also id like to know how he learned to do this and get soo much pratice to be so good at it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, imagine what he must have been like as a child,,, bet he disected hes cat as a youth

ginge - yet again youre talking bollocks.

A foetus can be aborted up to 20 weeks, when they have 80% of their senses, they can hear, feel, determine whether their mummy is hot or cold, they have hair, mostly formed digits etc......


can we leave talk of abortion off this thread anyway... but ginge... read up on a subject before you start to talk about it if youre not overly sure!

i didnt know it was 20 weeks tbh, thought the reason why it wasnt allowed so late was for the reasons i stated

abortion is not a subject to talk about, its one where you will always feel strongly about weather it for or against

my missus works in a neonatal ward in a hospital, shes not been there long and tbh she dont talk about what she sees, abortion is not a subject to talk about with her either and shes gonna see some stuff in the future that could sway peoples choices on the subject

if thats the case with abortion i think that its NOT right at that stage but wont talk about it anymore
