Einstein's brain on show - in slices

[GeoffW1]

Hi,

I find this decidedly offensive. What do you reckon?

Not at all, I am pretty sure he has finished using it.

The only disturbing thing here is why anyone would want to see it.

[bojan]

It is confronting and offensive.
The person can not/should not be reduced to a slice of tissue. IMHO.

Brave new world.. with no limits :mad2:

[dugnsuz]

Funny old world, right enough!

[strongmanmike]

Funny, I recon they should have preserved him completely...for ever - I can see him in the Smithsonian, in a glass cabinet kinda all yellow and a bit shriveled under formaldahide :D

Nope, don't find it offensive but also wouldn't bother to go and see it - what's the point?

[KenGee]

he asked for his brain to be kept and studied.

I have always been under the impression that his brain was taken without consent ?
cheers :thumbsup:
