Re: Photos From a Anatomical / Medical Museum
Wonder if it makes me a tad bit sick for wanting to go to this place and see them close up..?

This is from the Peter and Paul Museum of Curiosities in St. Petersburg, Russia. I personally visited several years ago. All of the specimens are very old and from early research.

Re: Photos From a Anatomical / Medical Museum
Collections like these actually gave scientists their first real understanding of the developmental process and how it could go wrong. There's a very, very awesome book out called "Mutants" (Armand Leroi) that goes into a lot of detail how babies with deformities show us what it going on in our own developmental process. Highly recommended and mildly gruesome.  |

Re: Photos From a Anatomical / Medical Museum
So i know the ones we have at my med school were not all legally obtained. there is a story about one of the docs who would get the bodies...that he went down to another city hosp and came back with the dead fetus hidden under his coat on the train! they didn't know what to do with them b/c they don't know where all of them came from (some were donated) and they didn't want to toss them so they put them all in our anatomy lab. i think there's probably over 50 or so....i may have to sneak down there with my camera for you guys!
