During the first week, we visited the Musée Fragonard. This housed a series of preserved animal and human displays with a variety normal and abnormal morphology. Animal research has always been a key component of scientific exploration. There are many biological processes corresponding to human functioning and animal models allow an in depth look at these mechanisms and their dysfunction. For example, they had a lamprey on display, which is a common experimental model for central pattern generators in neuroscience research. However, the issue, especially relevant in the world of neuroscience, is that there are limits to comparing animal and human processes. Therefore, without human models we have a restricted understanding of risks and safety of certain treatments. However, as exemplified by the flayed human display (shown above) and the ‘Our Body’ exhibit, we have strict expectations regarding manipulation of human bodies, even after death.
