Union Station Knew 'Bodies Revealed' Forms Were Fake!

Saturday August 30, 2008
Union Station is coming under fire this morning regarding their 'Bodies Revealed' exhibit as news leaks that they knew a form signed by people who's bodies are on display is fake.

Union Station offficals found out about the fraudulant form in March, but didn't mention it because no questions were raised.

No questions were raised? There is no doubt that when the exhibit opened in late February that the exhibit was controversial. People were protesting. The national news questioned the use of speicmens in many of the 'Bodies' exhibits. TKC and the local blogosphere lashed out against it.

Although I found 'Bodies Revealed' to be interesting and informative, there is no doubt that many of these bodies are in great condition and those of healthy and young men and women. You can't help but wonder where they came from and what their story is.

Was it Union Station's responsibility to tell the public that they found the fraudulant form? Of course it was. Did they fear that 'Bodies Revealed' would be shut down or no one would come if it did?

Someone has some 'splanin to do.
