My body, my choice, my art project?
A college student repeatedly impregnated herself, induced -- and filmed -- miscarriages and used the resulting blood (and footage) as materials in her senior art project.

  • Let her put her money where her mouth is- carry it to term for an infertile couple

    I am adamantly pro-choice, but if we are talking "art" lets up the ante. I propose Aliza Shvarts take this one step further- sure get inseminated in the name of art, document it, keep the fluids- AND CARRY THE FETUS TO TERM. There are so many infertile couples desperate for a child, or desperate for a surrogate. Put your money where your mouth is and make some real ART.

    I can't imagine a more relevant statement about art and the human body than the documentation of gestation and birth.
