| This is just sick. The article is now only in text format with no photos, which was good for me. I didn't want to see the sickness that she thought was art! Just when you think you've heard it all, someone comes along and does something that is mind boggling!! I can't believe that the faculty at Yale let her do this for her project!! Sickos!!

| I just don't really know what to say. I believe in freedom of choice although I personally would not choose this option unless it was extreme circumstances. However that is not what she did. She intentionally created a life and then took it over and over again claiming it was for the sake of art. If someone murders a pregnant person they can be charged with 2 counts of murder. However this woman has the freedom of choice and so nothing happens? I would agree that she has the right to make that choice under the normal circumstances but in this case I believe what she did should have repercussions.

I Love Thor Donating Member | I consider myself very liberal, however there is a time and a place for everything. Accidents happen, etc, etc, ( I won't get into that) but with this girl...I'm not sure I have many words either. I wonder if her sperm donors knew her intentions. I believe she wanted to do something that would get attention and I believe she has accomplished her goal. Disturbing. Also it said she did this for nine months, but does it ever mention the furthest she let her embryos/ fetus' grow? Erry |

I read that her donors were not compensated for their "donations" and Im not sure that they knew, either. She did it for nine months and it said she used the pills to create a miscarriage. Based on that, I would say that the embryos were not very far along. Once you get to a certain point, that pill no longer becomes an option. (im learning all this in a class right now..)

| This is sad. Art is supposed to be beautiful and inspirational. This girl is harming her body. I feel like this is more of a ploy for attention than art. It's sick.

| There is a HUGE issue at the college I teach at right now dealing with freedom of speech, expression vs. what is art and I sat through a 3 hour open forum yesterday listening to students speak about what they thought. We had an "incident" a few weeks ago with a visiting artist who had designed a video game that depicted murder of a highly important person here. The University closed the exhibit, there is speculation the artist was dragged out by police and all kinds of student groups went spastic about the issue. Yale University will soon be experiencing what we are I'm sure and honestly, I would not want to be a university administrator at this time. |

**UPDATE-- HOAX CONFIRMED** Well, all my suspicions were justified, it seems. The New York Sun is reporting that Yale announced that this was all the work of a "creative fiction" by the "art" student in question. The Yale Daily News was suckered, big time. A Yale student’s bizarre art project in which she claimed to have repeatedly impregnated and induced abortions in herself is a work of "creative fiction," the university said in a statement this afternoon. "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 woman’s 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." Yes, it's all a scam. Just as I thought. The sad thing is that, without so much as giving this story some thought, so many news outlets reported this as fact earlier this morning.
