A former employee of the Carnegie Science Center who resigned when the museum decided to showcase Bodies…the Exhibition said she has received overwhelming support over the past few days since the "20/20" report aired.
Elaine Catz, former education coordinator for science content at the Carnegie Science Center, said she tried to prevent the museum from exhibiting the show on moral grounds.
She resigned in June of 2007 and started an online "virtual picket" for citizens who questioned the ethics of putting unclaimed bodies from China on display.
Catz said the number of hits on her Web site, the "Anti-BODIES Protest Site," has skyrocketed since the report aired. She now has more than 200 virtual picketers of the Bodies…the Exhibition show.
