For some strange reason the Archbishop of the Kansas City diocese, has ruled that a scientific exhibition, Bodies Revealed, should not be seen by students on scientific field trips as the exhibit is "unseemly and inappropriate" because, in the opinion of the archbishop, "the use of human bodies in this way fails to respect the persons involved". The fact that the bodies have been donated to science by their 'owners' has no bearing in the decision.

As one whose own mother has donated her body to science, though as yet she still has use for it, I would be a trifle disconcerted to come upon her in later years as an exhibit posed upon a table in the basement of a railway station. Notwithstanding that fact, I still consider the Archbishop to be just a silly twerp to be ignored.
