FOCUS - The Bodies Exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center

The Cincinnati Museum Center is hosting the highly successful, real human body experience: "BODIES… The Exhibition." This exhibition allows visitors to take a closer look at the skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and circulatory systems. It also increases an individual's understanding of why it is important to make healthy lifestyle choices by highlighting medical concerns that include smoking, obesity, breast cancer, colon cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, ectopic pregnancy, arthritis, osteoporosis and bone fractures.

On this episode of Focus, Kathy Lehr talks with Dr. Roy Glover, the Chief Medical Advisor of "BODIES…The Exhibition" about what the visitors can expect to see during the exhibition and the humanitarian issues they face when they dissect, preserve and present the human bodies for public display. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED DUE TO THE GRAPHIC NATURE OF THE EXHIBITION FOOTAGE.

Actual artifacts that were recovered from the wreck will transport visitors back to the days of piracy in the early 18th century Caribbean, a time when the region was the economic engine of the early modern world.
