Bodies Exhibition
Today we went down to see the Bodies Exhibition at the Science Center. Definitely different and I thought it was pretty interesting. It amazes me how much time must have went in to preserving and presenting all those nerves, arteries, and veins. Very intricate work.
They had a display that shows healthy lungs vs a smoker’s lungs. Huge difference. The smoker’s lungs were really black while the non-smoker’s lungs were pinkish and healthy looking. There was a clear bin near the display that had a bunch of discarded cigarette packs. Above the bin was a statistic I never knew – Every pack of cigarettes you smoke takes 2 hours and 20 minutes off your life.
I have no idea if that is true, but if so, it is sobering.
