As far as I know, he has enough corpses to last him a hell of a long time. Everyone is eager to donate their bodies to him. I saw the show in London. I found the fetuses fascinating. It's a beautiful exhibit.

However, one of the exhibits I saw in London that gave me pause was a Harry Potter corpse. His instestines had been stretched out and hardened into a 'broom' and his skin had been flayed and was flying out behind him like a corpse. He was wearing giant round novelty eyeglasses for that student look.

I would be mortified (see what I did there?) if my body was turned into a novelty corpse instead of the scientific exhibit I was expecting. Not that it would be possible for me to feel anything one way or the other but you know what I'm saying. I'm totally down with the graphic nature of the show but I have a problem when they target a child audience by using actual cadavers to represent characters from children's books or when they try to add a little lighthearted comedy to what should be a sombre and dignified experience.

But I do believe it's lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I haven't seen it in two years. I wonder what has changed.
