Should I see the corpses?

By MIKE DUNHAM

So here I am in Seattle. I've seen the Michelangelo and Calder exhibits at the Seattle Art Museum. But I have a conflict about another show.

"Bodies: The Exhibition" has returned to Seattle, skinned and disected people posed in lifelike positions. Some call it beautiful and fascinating. Others suspect the display is of people who criticized their government and, as a result, are now displayed to make money for the government that they dared to criticize.

I don't know. I walked by the place, a few blocks from the SAM, and debated buying a ticket to go in. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

What do you think?
