While some readers might not exactly agree with the sentiment and possible exploitive nature of the concept, there is a school of thought which would see this as art.
Afterall art has always challenged new boundaries of thinking. It has always been sensational. Picasso, Warhol or the impressionist to name but a few.
Art and artists should always keep pushing their own boundaries. I think however dealing with death is always a sensitive subject matter. We can all relate to it too well and in some ways frown in disgust at a piece of this nature.
I think however, if done properly with all parties agreeing to try and capture a moment that is still a mystery to this day then it can indeed be art.
