Controversial 'BODIES Revealed' Exhibit to show at Union Station

Wednesday October 17, 2007
It was announced today that the controversial 'BODIES Revealed' exhibit will be coming to Kansas City's Union Station at the end of February, 2008. The BODIES exhibits have drawn criticism and controversy from human rights groups around the world, because of their use of donated human bodies. The exhibit is divided into each of the human systems and include everything from the skeletal and muscular systems to nervous, respiratory, and digestive specimens.

Brought to Kansas City by a grant funded by the Bank of America--the BODIES Revealed exhibit will be located on the lower level of Kansas City's historic Union Station.

If you are for humans, you should be against this exhibit. The bodies used were purchased from China for 25 million dollars, and consent was never given from the bodies being used. Consider the “educational” benefits opposed to the greivous disregard given to those you see split open and displayed for your entertainment dollar. Do your research before you go, so you will have the answers if your children ask,”Where did they get these bodies?” Education means knowing the truth
