The spell of formaldehyde

Celebrating the tenth (or twelfth) anniversary of my exercising the right to abstain from animal dissection in high school biology class, I present to you a discussion at the Weisman Art Museum called “Why We Dissect.” All right, all right… The expert panel won’t be talking grasshoppers and frogs here. (I still gag.) Rather, they’ll specifically tackle the ethics of the Body Worlds exhibition. Is it cool with you that human corpses be sliced like loaves of bread? And what about those fetuses who haven’t filled out consent forms?
