… and is a far more contemptible desecration of the dead than those perpetrated by vengeful pagans of history and legend.

    Meh. There are infinitely greater and worse desecrations of culture or the human body than this (e.g., any living human being who has defaced his (or worse, her!) body with tattoos).

    I pretty much find most if not all modern culture vulgar and repellent. But this show? Not so much. If there’s a hill to die on, this isn’t it.

    This is offensive why? Do you object to medical science in general? This is an educational exhibit not a halloween show. Some people may be squeamish about it. Those people shouldn’t attend.

    As someone who works in the Bodywork and therapy business, I have no problem with this at all. When I was in school I studied with books of photographs of dissected bodies, used real human skeltons in the classroom, and even attended a dissection. Am I a pervert?

    Exhibits like this could certainly inspire some young people to go into the medical field as well as educating adults about their bodies.
