PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners in Portland, Oregon, has unanimously moved to ban the for-profit display of human remains.

The move came Thursday after the body of a Louisiana World War II veteran — whose wife thought she donated his body to science — was dissected in front of a paying audience at a Portland hotel, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.

For the wealthy, front row seats at $500 offered an up close look.

I found the Body Worlds exhibit to be fascinating and educational.

I guess the problem in Portland was that the body was still wet…and the proper permission wasn’t given.

I know that Bodyworlds exhibit has been to Portland in the past. It was even advertised on TV.
