<P> Concerns have been raised about the bodies' origins and about the ethics of viewing human remains, especially for children and Catholics . </P> <P> This show appeared in the following 82 places: Albuquerque, Amsterdam, Athens, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Barcelona, Belgrade, Bogotá, Boise, Branson, Bratislava, Brisbane, Bucharest, Budapest, Buenos Aires, Burlington, Chicoutimi, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Concepción, Córdoba, Detroit, Dublin, Durham, Tartu, Fort Lauderdale, Gdansk, Greensboro, Haifa, Hartford, Honolulu, Houston, Idaho Falls, Indianapolis, Istanbul, Jaffa, Kraków, Las Vegas, Lexington, Lisbon, Ljubljana, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Miami, Montreal, New York, Niagara Falls, Omaha, Ostena, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, Prague, Providence, Puerto Rico, Romania, Quebec City, Recife, Riga, Rotterdam, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego, San Jose (Costa Rica), San Salvador, Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, Seattle, Shreveport, Sofia, Tampa, Tegucigalpa, Tel - Aviv, Timisoara, Toledo, Tucson, Tulsa, Vienna, Vilnius, Warsaw, Washington DC, Winnipeg, Zagreb, and Malaka . </P> <P> The exhibit is set up so that one starts at the skeletal system, and more layers (muscular, nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems; as well as fetal development and the treated body) are added in successive rooms . Containing about twenty bodies in total, each exhibition uses real human bodies that have been preserved permanently by a process called "polymer preservation" so that they will not decay . This exhibition is organized by the publicly traded corporation, Premier Exhibitions Incorporated, which also staged Bodies Revealed first in Seoul, South Korea and more recently in the US . The company received the cadavers for research from the Chinese government, who donated them because all the bodies at the time of death had no close next of kin or immediate families to claim the bodies . The dissections took place at the Dalian University in Liaoning, China and the resulting specimens were leased to Premier Exhibitions for the five - year duration of the show . </P> <P> Some of the specimens are arranged so that they are performing activities such as playing poker or conducting an orchestra . Along the way are other displays showing a human intestine stretched out, the polluted lung of an adult smoker, and all of the arteries and veins without the body itself . The exhibit of the polluted lung of the smoker also includes a clear standing box in which guests can discard their cigarettes and tobacco products after viewing the display . In the Las Vegas exhibit, there was also a polluted lung of a fetus on display . One section includes several fetuses in various stages of development . All of the fetuses died due to miscarriages, and the disorders which caused each are highlighted on most of the displays . Guests are notified by a small sign at the exhibit of the sensitivity of the fetus gallery just before entrance into the area, and given the option to skip that room if so desired . </P>
