This is such a cool exhibit.
But because I have no remaining faith in humanity, I sort of expect to someday learn that the whole exhibit was created on a 3d printer in a garage, while the bodies donated for science were re-sold or tossed out (or never actually accepted in the first place).
Even if it was 3d printed, it would be an amazing work of science and art, anyway.
Sorry. I should probably believe in people more.
Shit you've got more faith than me, you think the bodies are fake or donated ethically and tossed out, I'm wondering just how ethical the source actually is.
"You have angered the state, prepare to be skinned and sent to the Chicago Museum of Natural Sciences!" (before someone tells me that isn't a real place it's because I made it up.)
