Protest Over Exhibition Showing Body Parts |

|
LONDON, U.K.- Two MPs have protested over an exhibition that will show dozens of human corpses and body parts, describing it as "shameful" and "ghoulish". "Body Worlds", due to open in the Atlantis Gallery in London on March 23, features 175 body parts and 25 corpses - including the body of a pregnant woman, her womb opened to reveal a seven-month old fetus. The government has already said it may take legal action because the show may contravene a 19th century dissection law. Conservative MP Sir Teddy Taylor said: "What possible benefit can a normal person gain from looking at dead bodies?" It was "one of the most objectionable and shameful proposals I have ever seen," he said. Organizers say it has been seen by eight million people in countries including Japan, Switzerland, Austria and Germany so far.
