#1 Actually, people like this used to simply be treated for what they are: mentally ill, and in need of hospitalization.

#2 Normally, I am opposed to forced sterilization. In her case, I might be willing to make an exception.

#3 We can only hope this is a modified Darwin Award situation, where she renders herself sterile.

#4 This is just beyond the pale. The cavalier attitude that facilitates this is what disturbs me the most. To actually think that this is in some way, "ok," no matter where you stand on the abortion issue is simply incomprehensible to me.

Her parents must be very proud, I'm sure. So much for the value of an Ivy Leage education.

#5 Jeebus, the mind boggles on this one. Art has gone downhill *quickly* since the 60s/70s. It erupted in "P!ss Christ" and other grusome/disturbing "mediums" and has (assumed) reached bottom with this crap.

As one whose wife has experienced a miscarriage and having to deal with all the medical implications (not to mention emotional ones) afterwards, I can tell you this girl is "crying for help." Either she's going to seriously regret doing this, OR she has absolutely *NO* conscience and is just one step away from treating all life in such reckless abandon. In fact, I'd willingly label her as one step away from the Nazis.

WE CALLED IT! Drudge-niks, Freepers and even LGF Lizardoids were fooled but Rantburgundians were not!

#8 Can't argue with that, tu. She is a sick "puppy" either way.

#9 destined for a Nat'l Endowment of the Arts award for her "courageous" work. I see a Ruth Bader Ginsburg Chair at a institute of academia for her, if she doesn't sell out and get a fast-food job to pay bills

#10 Ah. Another Great Moment in "Performance Art"...

The Yale Daily News reported this morning that Aliza Shvartss senior project, set to go on display next week, included video of her bleeding in her bathtub, as well as plastic sheeting layered with a mixture of Vaseline and the post-abortion blood.

"Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art," a Yale spokeswoman, Helaine Klasky, said. "She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a womans body."

Ms. Klasky went on to suggest that Yale would not have permitted a project of the sort described in the student newspaper. "Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns."

What's it cost to go to Yale these days?

#11 Her next perfomance, when she documents her suicide, should be a bigger hit at the Yale art exhibition.
