The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) has condemned the Real Bodies exhibition on the basis that the specimens were unethically and illegally obtained which breaches the NSW Health Regulations. RACP has called for the exhibition to be shut down.
The exhibition displays over 200 human organs and 20 preserved cadavers. However, the RACP alleges that the exhibition organisers do not have consent documents or any identification papers clarifying that the Chinese donors willingly donated their bodies.
The exhibition has been banned in numerous countries due to these ethical concerns. The exhibition is currently showing in Sydney.
