Medieval anatomist Andreas Vesalius was the forerunner of BODY WORLDS creator Gunther von Hagens; both men find beauty and grace in the human body. My eldest son and his family live in Portland OR and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry currently has a BODY WORLDS exhibit that, while focusing on the brain, includes the signature musculo-skeletal pieces, such as The Angel and The Ballerina, that demonstrate the strength and efficiency of this system. My grandson, who is 8, enjoyed the exhibit thoroughly and did not find it "scary" at all. If you can find one of these exhibits--there is a small remnant at the Chicago MSI--GO! Knowledge of your body will allow you to more fully participate in your health care decisions. (If your doctor is intimidated by this knowledge, you need a new doctor!)Monday, January 9, 2012
