The Culture of the "Blasphemous Nihlistic Thrill"
Mark Shea takes on a particularly grotesque media stunt: When Antichrist Comes, He Will Have a Perky Spokeswoman Like Katie Couric. Man was made in the image of God; Mr. Shea is right to call this blasphemous.

But beside its visual shock, "Bodies" poses questions about the origin of the exhibits themselves. The bodies come from the Dalian Medical school in northern China, where human rights advocates in China have voiced concern.

Harry Wu said that during the 19 years he was detained in a work camp in China, he frequently watched medical students help themselves to bodies from the prison cemetery.

"These are real things not commodities. We have to know who are they," the executive director of the LaoGai Research Foundation told AFP.

"Are they male or females? How old are they? Are they caucasian, blacks, Asian, Mongolians? I think it's reasonable to ask," said Wu, who has become a US citizen.

These bodies should be underground where they belong.
