This document discusses two controversial artists - Gunther von Hagens and Damien Hirst - and their works involving human remains and killing animals. It notes von Hagens developed the plastination technique to preserve flesh and bodies, but some question the consent of donors. It also discusses Hirst's works incorporating formaldehyde-preserved animals and questions whether he kills them for art or money. The document raises whether the public should support artists whose works collide with ethics.

Art reviewer v.s the Artist that does not make his own works
