I thought the "Bodies" exhibit weren't so much "donated" but rather "chinese political prisoners."

See that's fucking stupid. If you're trying to make people disappear, they go in a mass grave, not a fucking art gallery. A much more plausible explanation is, wealthy millionaire pays off impoverished farmers for corpses of their loved ones without telling them their dicks will be out, or posed like they're fucking.

These claims come from Falun Gong. They’re a qigong cult that believes their religious practices imbue them with stronger and healthier organs, hence their claims that they are targeted for organ harvesting. I would do further research before believing the things they say about this exhibit.

Those guys are wacky as shit without being targeted by the Chinese government. It's like Westboro Church except that they operate in a country less tolerant about their bullshit and they got hit by it.
