"the last explosive art in the art community"

I haven't come up with a lot to say on this yet, but wanted to share it. Thanks to Ari for the link and title.

Update: Apparently Yale is now disputing the true nature of this exhibit, and the artist is disputing their dispute.

Who knows what to think at this point, but what I find really interesting is that people on both sides of the choice/life debate are coming out against the project. Yet, no one is addressing what the artist's intention was: to spark an intelligent discourse on the issue of choice and body. It seems that while she wasn't doing it for the shock value, that is, of course, what happened. How could it not?
