BODY WORLDS

Josh and I managed to hit the Body Worlds exhibit at Science World!

It's the coolest thing I have ever seen! Seeing the insides of a human body made me realize how small we look on the outside but how big we are on the inside! I can't believe that the puzzle inside holds so much mystery, discovery and the unknown. I agree; everyone should see the exhibit because it will show you who you really are.

I took it the next step, where Gunter the scientist dissects and removes the biggest organ that our body has: the skin. It's shocking, scary, and interesting but at the same time it stimulates a curiosity that won't allow your eyes to move off the screen. I guess we can call this science.

It was science that made me look into the eyes of each 'specimen' and wonder who they were. Where did they come from? How did they die? One sure thing I realized is that once the skin is off, we all look alike! You couldn't see wrinkles, scars, skin colour, facial expressions, or body physique; we are all the same. It also felt like the people in the exhibit were finally at peace.

Body Worlds is more then an exhibit; it's a realization that there really is more to science and the human body. You can believe in what you want to, fear what you want to, be what you want to, and express yourself how you want to, but really we are what we want to be. I feel alive, and free, and excited to be here!
