Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend going to the lin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia to see their exhibition " Body Worlds " . It is truly fantastic. Here is their website: http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/pages/home.asp I went with my daughter's high school health class. Unfortunately, we could only spend two hours there (because of the bus schedule), but I plan to go back again. It is a display of over 200 individual bodies (entire) and transparent body slices that have been preserved (so they don't smell) through the process of plastination which replaces body fluids and fat with special plastics. You see diseased organs alongside healthy organs. You can see up close the relationship between the muscular and skeletal systems in speciments like " the cyclist " . This display is there until April 23. If you are in the Philadelphia area, make it a point to go there. I believe it is also on display in other places like Toronto and Houston, but I don't know very many details about that. The website will tell more. Michele LeGrand Kennett Square, PA Quote
