Bodies in Seattle
The controversial Bodies exhibition is currently on display in Seattle. It's controversial because the bodies used were bought from a Chinese medical school and the arrangers, Premier Exhibitions, are not sharing evidence of consent for using the bodies this way. Seattle Times' has an interesting article that gives more details.

Contriversial or not, I found the exhibition interesting and educational. Seeing a full human neural system laid out on a table, arteries and veins, and knee joints with muscles attached makes you want to sign up for a classs in anatomy.

A couple of facts interesting things I learned:
- When removing the part of a lung that contains a tumor the remaining part can still function.
- Smoking a packet of cigarettes on average shortens your life 2 hours and 20 minutes.
- Eyes don't grow after birth.

The exhibition is open until end of December and the ticket is $24.50. There's also a youtube commercial that gives some idea of what it's like.
