Topic Subject : Re: A new topic has been added-RE: A new topic has been added-Re:

This piece has become infamous with the group, but I haven't seen it. Is it
just one of the submitted pieces under 'Gallery' on the lifecasting.org
website?

>> 84 lifecastings:--
>> I was looking forward to the completion of my first lifecasting and had
>> hoped to see it in the gallery soon. My plans were to surprise my
>> daughter on her birthday with the "Butterfly Princess". Well my plans
>> went down in flames with the addition of "84 lifecastings" of sex organs.
>> How can anyone with any amount of morals allow children to veiw such
>> things? This should be in a catagory labeled "Adults only, Erotic
>> displays!" I realize that one persons definition of art differs greatly
>> from the next, but I must appeal to your sense of decency for the benifit
>> of children who have access to the contents of this site. After
>> considerable research on the subject to determine what is considered
>> acceptable as ART, I have come to the conclusion that it comes down to
>> ones morals and convictions. My personal belief is that God created sex
>> as a wedding present for believers and that sex and sex organs should be
>> shared with husband and wife only, not the whole world. Who wants their
>> kids!
>> looking at an erect penis or a spread open vagina? God forbid that this
>> is acceptable for children to view.
