Trying out Christina's idea..

So I have been reading articles and one that struck be to really be a conversation starter was about a student who put on an art show revolving around giving herself abortions (or creating miscarriages) after she supposedly got pregnant. This women who did this thought of it as art and said that she didn't intend it to just spark conversation, but actually be art. I think it was only done to cause controversy and bring attention. What do you all think?

In addition to this unusual for of "art" there was another student who did something outrageous. I wonder if these students do this stuff to push limits or get attention. Also, some people consider sex as art and if the teacher already knew the basic premise, what is the problem?
