Human Body Exhibit Controversy

A human body exhibition is causing some controversy.
Some people are questioning whether the bodies used are in the name of science or an abuse of human rights.

The "Our Body...The Universe Within" exhibit at the Exploreum has been on display since January 11th and it's been attracting a crowd.
"It's not common that we see this, "said one visitor.
But as some marvel others are claiming the cadavers are prisoners who were executed in China.
"There are people who have issues with mummy exhibits, there are people who have issues with a lot of other exhibits, "said Brett Berg with the Exploreum.
While he admits some of the bodies came from China, Berg says forensic pathologists who examined them have not found any evidence of trauma.

The Exploreum also showed News Five an affidavit from ,The Universe Within Touring Company, which organized this exhibit.
It reads:
"All the bodies in the Universe Within exhibition have been donated by medical facilities and schools for the purpose of promoting medical and scientific knowledge. All of the anatomical specimens in the exhibit Our Body the Universe Within have been ethically and legally obtained, consistent with the Laws of China and the United States."

Berg says the Exploreum got legal documentation after hearing about the problems other exhibits were having.
According to the Exploreum there are over twenty variations of the exhibit on display across the country.
"The Exploreum's a non-profit community owned organization, we're not going to bring an exhibit here that we don't feel comfortable with," Said Berg.
