Breakthrough in Science Education or Modern Body Snatchers?

In the first half of the show we do our normal little catch up and Larissa introduces Grey to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Then, Grey tells Larissa about the famous exhibition Body Worlds which uses real human bodies to show our anatomy in a way that hadn't been done before. If you've ever been to the exhibit, you probably left with a feeling of excitement for how far science has come, and maybe even a new-found respect for how the human body works. But you may have also wondered who the people were that were on display or how the donation process works, or if the exhibit is even ethical. Well its a little more complicated than it may seem and we're here to dive into it. As always, we hope you enjoy <3
