Plastination Exhibit at Science World

[mbarrick]

Starting September 15 and running through to January 14 next year Science World is going to have an exhibit of plastinated corpses, "Body Worlds 3".

Plastination is a process by which dead bodies are infused with polymers to prevent decomposition. In these displays the bodies are presented in action-poses, exploded views, cross-sections, etc. These are real people that have willingly donated their bodies for this use after death.

I think it would be great fun to get a bunch of people together for a group outing to see this exhibit.
