Disgusting..........but cool?

[Sparx]

I am glad you had a good time Brit.

Wow Shelby that place you went to sounds completly interesting. We don't have something like that here but if we did I would defantly go.

Something about it just boggles me. I don't know what.

I am planning on donating my body to science.

I've not been, I just know a lot about it.

I see nothing wrong with having a body on display. It's a great teaching tool for people, to learn about their own body and also about what kind of diseases affect us, aka a smokers lung..its disgusting.

 

[tinkerbell12]

We saw lungs of a smoker when I was in 6th grade... very interesting.... everyone else groaned but i was so interested in it...

I am definitly planning on donating my body to science so others can learn... Without people donating their bodies, where would we be with breast, lung, liver, kidney etc. disease? How would the doctors know how to treat it? I just find it pretty much a miracle -- how the human body works... interesting.

Leonardo DeVinci was a grave robber. If you read his journals, which gave a lot to modern medicine, his anatomical "doodles" (as he liked to call them) were just a little too good. he knew a little too much. It was later figured out that he dug up recently buried bodies and studied them.

OK OK, where would we be without body-donaters and grave robbers like Leonardo DeVinci




***I'm planning on visiting a Body World type thing as a field trip with my science class in March

My point was, before "donations" thats how people learned.

Guess I missed your point then...

It's been that kinda day

The exhibit is real bodies. Its art made out of human cadavers. I'll send you some of the pictures. He doesn't have many pictures of his dissections (he's not allowed to photograph most of them) but I can send you some pictures that he's acquired over the years. I can also link you to his myspace. You can see more there.

Yeah that exhibit (Bodies) is in New York now at the pier. I really want to go see it.

 

[TinkerTracy]

They're pieces like this:

Thats from The Bodies.

Its a male cadaver (aprox. 35) that had a fluid injected into his body that hardended all of his cardiovascular system to be similar to glass. He was then dipped in acid that eats protein. It ate away everything except the cardiovas system that you see there.

Its incredibly interesting.

Wow yeah that stuff is so interesting.

 

[VolleyballQt07]

Glad you enjoyed it. Its really a once in a lifetime experience.

I don't understand the disgust some people have with the human body...I mean...you have one.

I think I was disgusted at first because its WAS a real human.......that once walked the Earth. And it felt weird actually looking at the insides, knowing, they were once functioning.

But I really had a good time and recommend it to people if they get the chance to see something like it!

 

[flowergirlbecca]

Thats amazing.
I would SO do that.

Its like the exhibit that came to the ontario science centre.
Body World

http://www.azscience.org/bw3/index.php

They had that in Boston and I went to see it a few months ago. I'm a little like squeemish when it comes to dissections and things, but I still think it is totally interesting. Body World was really great thing to show how different systems and things worked together. It didn't smell either, because the bodies are plasticized.

I wanted to go, but tickets were sold out.
So many people in Toronto >_<

Dead things and gore and guts are the coolest things. Really.I love to watch operations and things on tv, read about them, draw them.. I got to touch a human brain once. It felt amazing. I'm taking Anatomy and Phsyiology my Junior year in HS. When I die i'm donating my body to science.

People think I'm wierd.


DYK

-that the liquid behind ure eyes is so poisonous that if you ingest it you will die in a matter of seconds?
-that the human brain cannot stand on its own?

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

That would be sooo amazing =].

I use to really want to be a surgeon. =]

i got the chance to touch the brain, heart, lungs, liver, intestines, and ribs.....................but i was to shy!

This might sound offensive but come on Brit.

You were to shy to touch a dead person.

Ok I get it you were to shy to do it in front of everyone else..ok nvm.

IDC. It wasn't offensive. I just didn't feel comfortable touching a lung or a liver or a brain for that matter!

 

[PlainJane]

I've gone to a cadaver lab before, and thought it was really interesting. I was actually shocked by how much it didn't bother me. One word of advice would be the chemical smell can be really powerful, so you might want to step out of the room every once and awhile if your going to be there for a prolonged period of time.

I got chills the first time I touched a dead person.

I know its stupid, but I didn't think they'd be that hard. that cold. They feel different.

i thought the smell would be horrible. it wasnt too bad but they said you may get light headed and if you need to, sit down on a stool. and lets just say, i needed a stool after about 45 minutes!
