Seattle Times: Seattle City Council passes ban on cadaver exhibits like ‘Bodies’
The Seattle City Council has voted to effectively ban the cadaver exhibit “Bodies … The Exhibition” from returning to the city. The ordinance that now goes to Mayor Mike McGinn would bar commercial displays of human remains that don’t have proof of consent.
When Bodies the Exhibition was in Cincinnati I protested it primarily because the bodies were Chinese individuals that were displayed without any consent. It has been show that these bodies are often purchased on the black market.
