I wonder about the source of the cadavers used in “The Bodies” exhibit which is getting such attention as it tours. I can’t help but think they came from horrific means such as these. Does anyone have any information on this?
China Turns Out Mummified Bodies for Displays
Fierce competition among body show producers has led to accusations of copyright theft, unfair competition and trafficking in human bodies in a country with a reputation for allowing a flourishing underground trade in organs and other body parts.
Here in China, determining who is in the body business and where the bodies come from is not easy. Museums that hold body exhibitions in China say they have suddenly “forgotten” who supplied their bodies, police officials have regularly changed their stories about what they have done with bodies, and even universities have confirmed and then denied the existence of body preservation operations on their campuses.
We had a thread on that here. Supposedly, they said they donated them.
But I can’t help but wonder about the grant monies and the sudden intertwining of medical facilities calling themselves Medical Arts.
