Abortion is now considered art/What is an attention whore?


Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

What was even more shocking...well I guess it shouldn't even be shocking. This is how some people felt about what she has done...

- I have no moral objection but it's pretty shit art.

- That's wierd but it's legit art. I mean, she does the hell she wants with her body. In this concept she was expressing herself so well, it's art.
As long as "art" does not involve killing or torturing people i guess it's allright.

- can someone explain how this "cheapens the value of life". Before you do that, can you first explain what the "the value of life" is?

- So what makes humans more important than grass? It's not like there's anyone to remember us in a few billion years.


Scarily mindblowing... I don't know how else to describe it... Even if technically according to science these embryo's weren't alive. Let's just take that stance for a second. Let's say they were nothing more than a goop of goo... The fact still remains that someone is starting the early stages to "life" just to kill it for the sake of "art". That is truly disturbing and has to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life.

Now if we take the stance that these embryo's are alive... Well, that's a whole other can of worms.

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
