When "Art" goes TOO FAR

http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/24513

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....(link to read the rest)

And they are actually gonna allow her to do this experiment, project, whatever you want to call it, and it will be displayed in the Senior Art show at Yale University. Now I understand the whole "freedom of speech, freedom of this, freedom of that," but beyond that, this is crazy. I'm not outraged, nor am I without any feeling, but all I could think of when I read about this was, "I am not surprised, the world is going crazy"
