The BODIES museum [...] uses bodies which are donated to science, through a conscious decision by the owner of the body [...]

From http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/newyork/disclaimer.html:

This exhibit displays human remains of Chinese citizens or residents which were originally received by the Chinese Bureau of Police. The Chinese Bureau of Police may receive bodies from Chinese prisons. Premier cannot independently verify that the human remains you are viewing are not those of persons who were incarcerated in Chinese prisons.

You continue:

I'd say anybody who can't see a pretty clear difference between the two should probably spend a little quiet time reflecting on what intrinsic flaw they possess that makes them incapable of seeing a difference.

Maybe you should spend a little time verifying your claims and less time critiquing other peoples' supposed shortcomings.

It would also be no different than the museum in NYC that has many human bodies on display in different stages of "being mutilated".....in the name of science that is

There's a world of difference. I presume you're talking about the "BODIES: The exhibition" display?

The BODIES museum:
1) uses bodies which are donated to science, through a conscious decision by the owner of the body;
2) Has an actual educational purpose which specifically requires the use of human bodies and organs - to teach about human anatomy.

The Catcopter:
1) Takes somebody's pet, or a feral animal that was killed "somehow"; and
2) turns it into a fucking RC toy.

There is no "educational value" to using a body in this way. If the BODIES museum strapped jetpacks on the corpses and launched them around New York and called it "art," then you might be right that there's "no difference." But since one has an educational purpose that is actually served by the use of donor bodies, and one is a toy where the use of the body is simply intended to be "cute" "funny" or "provocative," I'd say anybody who can't see a pretty clear difference between the two should probably spend a little quiet time reflecting on what intrinsic flaw they possess that makes them incapable of seeing a difference.

I heard the rumor that most of those intricately detailed bodies in that great exhibition 'Bodies were political prisoners in china. I mean, it makes sense, as most of those figures were realtively young, and in decent shape. but it was kind of sad and funny to look at each one and think, what did this guy do wrong?

You'll note that all the specimens are Asian...

Just check out their latest enterprise.

In Communist China, the State hacks into you.

As an example, the Bodies Exhibition, where cretinized Americans pay the Chinese government to view the preserved remains of murdered Chinese dissidents! So those wily Chinese can make money off of practically anything, as long as there exists some halfwitted Americanskis.....
