What happened

DENVER — A new exhibit at Denver Pavilions is offering an up-close view inside real human bodies, called "Bodies: The Science Within." The exhibit features bodies that are donated to science.

Why it matters

They go through a process called plastination, where the fluids are removed and replaced with a chemical that preserves the organs and tissue the same way they appear naturally.

Common ground

The preparation process also allows the bodies to be bent into different poses and held together with pins.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
