Bodies | The Exhibition

This guide to Bodies | The Exhibition in Las Vegas opens with the disclaimer a state attorney general forced onto the show, admitting the company cannot prove its thirteen preserved bodies were not executed prisoners. It follows plastination, the process a German anatomist invented in the 1970s to turn flesh into plastic, and the question human rights investigators and a member of Congress kept asking about where the bodies actually came from. Listen for how little the exhibition itself is willing to say about the people you're looking at.
