I personally thought the embryo and birth section was the most fascinating. It wasn't intended as a "Hey, look at all these aborted fetuses" but "Check out how quickly these little things grown. Man - It quadrupled in a week - holy crap, this thing's huge compared to last week!" While I do realise that yes, it's all men and women who have died, but I think the learning experience exceeds the ethical worries of all of that.
Also, another thing about the woman who had died while still pregnant, they have a small section dedicated just to her in the fetus room. Basically she was a really ill woman with some kind of disease and she wanted to donate her body if she died before the baby was born. Which unfortunately is what happened.
Personally I thought the whole setup was brilliant. I learned a lot and heck, you're seeing what comes across as a real life text book, which is kind of unsympathetic to those who died, but when you're looking around you (at least I) had to sit there and remind myself that these were from real people, so when they're saying "This is what an ill person's heart looks like" that's not what one looks like when you're getting sick, that came out of a person who died of heart disease or lung cancer or anything.
I dunno. I liked it.
