I think I might he mentally scared for life, I get its science but i guess i find it hard to see past the fact its jars full of dead babies.

I can deal with a couple of photographs or a short documentary on mutant babies and organs but being surrounded by them in a small space, seems a bit much. Tho it does sound fascinating from the website.

from the science point of view it is interesting, the humanitarian in me takes over i guess. I have only ever seen 5-6 dead people in my lifetime, friends and family, to see that many dead babies was disturbing. It brought about the typical human questioning, who, what, where and why?

Oh how it would be easier to be a Volcun and not have to deal with our irrational emotions.....

Deformities, illnesses and our fragile organic bodies are fascinating but I'll just stick to Cronenberg films, I too am not detached enough for this type of science. Typical human questioning would turn into existential crisis

My brother was stillborn, I wonder how I'd feel about it if he were put up there.
