We also take organs to our hospitals health fair they have every year at a local mall. The organs have been "plastinated" and are very safe for everyone to handle. They look like rubber but still are very real. Our section is always the biggest hit and the kids and parents love it.

We also loan them to other health care professionals to use for this purpose also. We talk about smoking, drinking, eating, bike and skate board safety, etc as we have normal, emphysema and malignant lungs, and normal and cirrhosis liver. It is always a great hit with the kids. I take along brochures and talk to the students about this profession. I hope they remember!
