it's called real bodies conspiracy i can't believe i have to share the planet with Commercial human body exhibitions such as Body Worlds, Bodies, The Exhibition, and Real Bodies, there's four of them, have drawn continuous ethical, legal, and moral controversy since their inception.
Gray PittmanHOST
Look, I don't care because I'm just never going to go.

Anna WilliamsGUEST
They want to contribute to the understanding of... scientific processes, but they also want to contribute to justice.
