\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

Trigger warning: This post details our experience of going to a museum exhibit that featured preserved bodies of actual miscarried unborn children. None of them were aborted. Their bodies are whole and carefully preserved. Depending on your sensibilities\/past experiences, the descriptions and\/or pictures of the exhibit that I\u2019ve included may be a trigger for you.<\/i><\/p>\n

Last year during my first speaking trip in Portland somebody told me that I couldn\u2019t leave without seeing the Prenatal Exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry<\/a>, or OMSI.<\/p>\n

Due to scheduling reasons I couldn\u2019t pull it off, but I called the museum a few weeks ago to ask whether the exhibit was still there. Upon finding out that it\u2019s there until May 6, I made sure that my staff and I had time to visit the exhibit during our recent trip to Portland where we trained the student club from Portland Community College with a seminar followed by a two-day outreach on their campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibit was created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens<\/a>, the person behind the controversial \u201cBody Worlds\u201d exhibit<\/a>. He uses a plastination technique to preserve animal and human bodies and sets up exhibits in an effort to educate people about anatomy in a way that books can\u2019t. The exhibit is controversial because in the case of the human bodies, these were real people who arguably should have been buried. My staff and I have unresolved concerns about that aspect of it.<\/p>\n

In the case of the prenatal development exhibit at OMSI, they only have babies who were miscarried and then preserved, presumably with the parents permission. (This exhibit isn\u2019t to be confused with \u201cBodies: The Exhibition,\u201d<\/a> which is similar but whose bodies all came from China, adding to the controversy.)<\/p>\n

According to the Body Worlds website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The BODY WORLDS exhibitions rely on the generosity of body donors; individuals who requested that, upon their death, their bodies could be used for educational purposes in the exhibition. All the whole-body plastinates and the majority of the specimens are from these body donors; only some organs, fetuses and specific specimens that show unusual conditions come from old anatomical collections and morphological institutes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found a few images online of the exhibit that I\u2019m going to include with this blog post to try to give you a visual of what we saw, but I firmly believe that these pictures don\u2019t do the exhibit justice. I\u2019ll explain why later in the post.<\/i><\/p>\n

Before you get to the main exhibit, there are lots of walls set up with some of Lennart Nilsson\u2019s famous fetal development pictures<\/a> and explanations of human development.<\/p>\n

\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite area was an interactive display where you could push different buttons and LED lights would illuminate how the babies blood and the mother\u2019s blood is kept separate, yet the mother\u2019s body gives nutrition to the baby and carries away waste.<\/p>\n

\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we got to the main part of the exhibit, which is kept in a large, dark room, and a warning sign that reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cAttention. Viewer Discretion Advised. The human embryos and fetuses in this exhibit are\u00a0real<\/b>. The survival of these embryos and fetuses was prevented by natural causes or accidents. These specimens were collected from medical universities and hospitals and prepared by Dr. Hunther von Hagens, inventor of the plastination process and creator of the Body Worlds exhibitions. The exhibit was installed at OMSI in 1993.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

When you walk in, this is what you see:<\/p>\n

\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

When Jacob walked in his first thought was, \u201cThere are so many of them.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

There are 42 embryos and fetuses preserved in glass cases along the curved wall. They start at the youngest and as you walk through the exhibit the babies get progressively older, until you reach the last child who was 33 weeks old and had a full head of hair.<\/p>\n

Each baby has a sign under it giving the age from fertilization of the child and what is going on for a baby developmentally, at that age. The exhibit makes it clear that the ages attributed to the children is the actual time after fertilization, not LMP. There\u2019s a sign on the wall that says:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe embryos and fetuses in this exhibit are real. They are presented here to offer a unique look at the journey each of us made from a fertilized egg. Acquired from medical universities and hospitals, the survival of these embryos and fetuses was prevented by natural causes or accidents. The age given for each specimen is the actual time after fertilization, this is the aging method used by scientists studying human development. It is different from the method used by health care providers, who time a pregnancy from a woman\u2019s last menstruation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"OMSI<\/a><\/p>\n

My immediate emotional reaction upon entering the room was sadness. There was a seriousness to this room, and the design of the room was clearly intended to underline the seriousness of the exhibit. This isn\u2019t a place to let your kids run free like they can at some of the other sections of the museum.<\/p>\n

The youngest baby was only a few weeks old, and was very small. I took my time, spending several moments in front of each child. As I looked at the youngest embryos, I thought to myself that I could understand why a pro-choice person could see this part of the exhibit and still feel convinced that these early embryos aren\u2019t morally significant. I certainly think they are, but it\u2019s not because of the way they look. It\u2019s because of what I believe about the nature of all humans, including the youngest of us.<\/p>\n

It became harder for me to step into the shoes of a pro-choice person and defend abortion rights later in the exhibit though. Around the point where the baby in front of us was nine weeks old, it became clearer than anything that this is a little human, not an unorganized mass of developing tissue.<\/p>\n

As I was staring at a child who was about 20 weeks old my brother Tim came up to me to ask me what I was feeling. I paused, and then responded that I felt \u201cintensely sad about abortion.\u201d I asked him what he was feeling, and he replied, \u201cAs I looked at the younger embryos, I felt really sad, but the older they get, the more I feel angry.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

I reminded Tim that abortions at 20-weeks or later don\u2019t happen nearly as often as first-trimester abortions before asking, \u201cWhat specifically are you angry about?\u201d Tim thought about it, and responded, \u201cI\u2019m angry that 20-week abortions are defended so often.<\/b> I\u2019m angry that our society is even having to debate<\/a> whether or not to pass a bill that would ban abortions at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t just feel angry about the late-term babies either. As I glanced to my left at the first-trimester babies, I thought, \u201cThese babies can be legally ripped to pieces, and they are, to the tune of about 3,300 every day.\u201d At Equal Rights Institute<\/a> it\u2019s a priority to us to be very careful with philosophy, and understand why the most philosophical pro-choice advocates believe what they believe. And yet, staring at these children, I felt like I live in a society that has gone mad.<\/b><\/p>\n

After I reached the end of the exhibit, I walked back to one of the babies. It was the one who died at 10 weeks. Many people don\u2019t know that my wife and I lost a child 10 weeks into our first pregnancy. It is the most traumatic thing we have ever experienced. I felt like I needed to take this opportunity to remember my first son or daughter. So I stared at the 10-week child for several minutes, in silent memoriam. His body was longer than I expected a 10-week child to be. And as I stared at him, I felt like I connected with him a little. I once had a child, and he or she was alive while we were ecstatic about our first pregnancy. For the first few years of our marriage we weren\u2019t sure we could get pregnant, and then we finally did, and I was so excited I would literally jump up and down when I told people! And then our child passed away, and a small part of me died with our child. I\u2019ve never been the same.<\/p>\n

We quietly left the exhibit, walked to our car, and processed together.<\/p>\n

We talked about the difference between the babies who were eight weeks and younger, and those that were older. We agreed that it is equally sad that they all died, but we had more sympathy for pro-choice people who only defend early abortions than those who defend all abortions.<\/p>\n

Tim said, \u201cNine weeks in, their humanity is not ambiguous anymore. They had distinguishable fingers and toes. They had different facial expressions.\u201d<\/p>\n

We spent a lot of time discussing whether an exhibit like this should exist. On one hand, it doesn\u2019t feel respectful. As Tim said, \u201cA human body made in God\u2019s image shouldn\u2019t be in a glass case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim had a good idea for how the exhibit could be more respectful in their treatment of the babies. \u201cI wish each baby was named. Not that the guy who made the exhibit made up a name for them, that would be meaningless. I wish the parents had named their babies, because that would be their real name, and that you could read each name under their body. Each of these babies were somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having said all of that, we agreed that while abortion remains legal, though we have reservations, we would prefer if an exhibit like this was in every major city in America.<\/p>\n

This exhibit humanized the unborn more than Lennart Nilsson\u2019s fetal development images<\/a> or the graphic abortion images do, both of which we use in our outreach brochure. There are some pro-choice college students whose world would be rocked if they saw this exhibit, in a way that images don\u2019t rock their world. Why? Because in this exhibit you\u2019re in the personal, physical presence of unborn children.<\/b><\/p>\n

A phone conversation can\u2019t substitute for an in-person conversation. Tim asked me what I thought when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time. My first thought was, \u201cPictures of this don\u2019t do it justice. You can\u2019t understand the enormity of this canyon without being physically there.\u201d Tim said he thinks the same is true for unborn children. \u201cPictures of this exhibit wouldn\u2019t be that compelling to show people. Being in the physical presence of a child is.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is similar to what I wrote after seeing a similar, albeit smaller, fetal development section of \u201cBodies: The Exhibition\u201d seven years ago. I wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talk about ultrasounds being the window to the womb. No, this<\/i> is the window to the womb.\u201d<\/p>\n

I told Tim and Jacob, \u201cI think we should treat bodies respectfully, but I\u2019m full-time in the pro-life movement, and I\u2019m a pretty even-keel guy, but I am SO much more devastated about abortion right now than I usually am.\u201d<\/p>\n

I recalled how at the end of \u201cBodies: The Exhibition\u201d there were notebooks at the end where people could write their reflections. Here are some of the comments that I read:<\/p>\n

\u201cA strong case for the anti-abortion position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know life begins at conception.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t understand how someone could have an abortion after seeing all the embryos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I\u2019m convinced that life begins far earlier than our society believes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked the part about the babies.\u201d ~ A young girl<\/p>\n

\u201cWe truly are fearfully and wonderfully made.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how you could not believe in God after seeing this exhibit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was fascinated with the fetuses \u2013 I did not know they were so well formed even at seven weeks \u2013 who could ever abort a child?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no way I\u2019m going to have an abortion\u2026\u201d ~ A 12-year-old girl<\/p>\n

Jacob agreed that an exhibit like this is necessary for our society to see, but he wished it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

As a full-time pro-life advocate who thinks about abortion a lot and tries to persuade others to become pro-life, I have sometimes struggled with how to balance grief in my pro-life work. There are some days that I don\u2019t feel as sad about abortion as I ought to. There are two extremes I need to try to avoid: If I\u2019m grieving all the time, it\u2019s unhealthy, but if I never grieve, I\u2019m disconnected from just how awful abortion is. I think seeing this exhibit helped me get a little more balanced on how grief should interact with my work.<\/p>\n
