Body Worlds

Body Worlds was in Seattle for a long time, but I was never able to go. Once I found out it was in San Jose (The city right next to Santa Clara) I knew I had to go. My friends had seen it and told me it was really interesting, and when the school offered a "go to body worlds for free" day my choice was made. I don't know what I was thinking. I Morgan Wilhelm cry when I see road kill, I cry druing the news when I hear a horrbile story, I'm the biggest baby when it comes to death. So I'm not sure what I expected my reaction to be when I was looking at actual dead bodies. We went and I was ok untill the fetal part. Not ok. It reminded me of this time I was in a seafood restaurant with my dad and there were crab and starfish hung as decoration all around the wall. My dad said something like "imagine if aliens came, we were the food, and our dead bodies became the decoration." i still completely support the Body Worlds exhibit, it has taught so many so much and all the bodies were donated willingly. But It's not for everyone. It wasn't for me.
