Polls Apart Article
After a recent poll in the Western Daily Press where 93% of their readers voted against displaying the dead and only 7% in favour of, the views expressed and the best efforts of The Archaeologist in a white frock; We see that yet again EH are out of step with their outdated research and claims that People wish to see the genuine remains on display; As was also borne out by other more recent polls Source.
Giving Up the Dead: The Impact and Effectiveness of the Human Tissue Act and the Guidance for the Care of Human Remains in English Museums By Liz White, information collated from "The White Survey" NOVEMBER 2011 Museum consultation as part of the White Survey, showed the following statistics in answer to the question put to them about the use of "replicas" in their collection, we can see from the response that a large percentage (over 70%) would consider this, and over 37% of respondents already do curate replicas. "Museums were asked, in light of current concerns over the retention of human remains, whether they would consider using replicas. Thirty-seven (24%) museums stated that they already use replicas, 40 (25%) museums stated that they would not, 76 (48%) museums stated they would consider using replicas and four (3%) museums did not respond. Museums that use none, some and all of their human remains for research purposes are represented within all of these categories." Source

LISTEN UP!
'Out of the mouth of Babes,'
Overheard at a Museum recently, a child asks the following question when viewing the skeleton remains of long dead and departed children.
" Did they do something wrong? were they naughty mommy? Is that why they were not buried like everyone else?"
RETURN THE STONEHENGE GUARDIANS AND REBURY THE DEAD.....
