Apparently, one can't smoke in Kansas City, but you can view posed, plasticized dead bodies of dubious origins. 
"Bodies Revealed" is one of at least four touring exhibits featuring exquisitely preserved human remains that have played to huge audiences around the world. Scoring “Bodies Revealed” was considered a major coup for Union Station, which is counting on such high-profile shows to deliver much-needed crowds and revenues.Ok. So what? People indulge in gross voyeuristic endeavors all the time. The hollywood 'slash n cash' B film craze and rubber necking at car crashes are perfect examples. The only problem here is that some of the bodies in this traveling display may have been acquired without the former owner's consent. At least that is what ABC’s Brian Ross is alleging in a 20/20 television special to be aired tonight.
Officials at Premier Exhibitions alerted Kansas City Union Station officials this week about the upcoming broadcast, but station officials believe the bodies in question are in a different touring exhibit than the one opening Feb. 29 at the station. Premier acknowledges that a sister exhibition called “Bodies … The Exhibition” uses unclaimed bodies of people who did not willingly donate them.The management at Union Station stands by the 'integrity' of the display and insists that the cadavers were acquired through a supplier in Beijing and that all of the bodies came from willing Chinese donors.
No. I'm not going.
