I have no problem with the artistic/scientific display of the human body, and would probably find it to be really interesting. Similar to my thoughts in the thread about an "opt out" policy for organ donation, I don't like the precedent of using unclaimed bodies for any purpose. I suppose you could argue that it's impossible to know anything about what the person might have wanted, so who's to say? I would think you could find enough people who would donate their bodies for such an exhibit that it wouldn't be a big deal to acquire them that way. I suppose I feel that this sets a precedent for the use of bodies in an area like organ donation, where there could be a real financial incentive for hospitals or private organizations to market unclaimed human organs.
