Gimme a break
The recent tempest in a teapot over the cadaver exhibit at the Gulf Coast Exploreum was much ado about nothing.

They’ve also transformed it into a unique experience for area artists.

I have no desire to see this exhibit, but it could be worse. Think about that girl at Harvard that did the art supposedly using her own aborted fetuses.
