Context

[perzephone]

So, as I've been letting the BodyWorlds exhibit filter thru my subconscious, something finally dawned on me. I have such a vested interest in the forensic sciences, & usually when you see a dead person outside the context of say, a morgue or a funeral setting, it's an indicator that something is out of balance. Usually, it means the dead person was murdered or in a fatal accident - something wrong, in other words. So the BodyWorlds exhibit features a whole bunch of dead folk, & they're all out of context. And everyone alive who was wandering around seem to assume that these people must have met some horrible fate... no quiet, in-home or in-hospital deaths... everyone was speculating on what accident or intentional harm befell the plastinates to cause their deaths. I was even a little caught up in the mindset.
