MadGE

I came across this picture a couple of years ago.The site www.madge.net.nz now seems to have closed and I can't remember the full details of what it was advocating. I think it may have been something relating to genetically engineered foods - hence the 'GE'. The use of this image came from, I believe, a feminist perspective. There is nothing explicit or provocative about this image - rather it shows a woman being used purely for what her body produces. The aim, it appears, is for this image to raise the question of whether we should use animals in the way that we do given that we would not use a woman this way.
