Can anyone explain to me why in the world these bodies should be put on display? To me, this is a sickening as that ‘educational’ display of human bodies that have been stripped of their skin and posed.

It has the same creepy vibe as the display of Lenin's body in Red Square. A reasonable period of lying in state for people to pay their respects is one thing, but this is just ghoulish.
