Shocking As Japanese man cooks, serves own genita
A
Japanese artist cooked his own genitals and served them to five paying diners
in Tokyo to cover the medical costs, in a bizarre act to raise awareness about
sexual minorities.
According to reports the artist had
his penis and testicles surgically removed and kept them frozen for two months before
dishing them out - seasoned and braised - to customers at an event hall.
Diners paid 20,000 yen (S$320) for
the plate with a portion of genitals.
The painter, who is reportedly 22,
said on Twitter the organ had been removed by a physician and certified to be
free of infections.
The meal was prepared under the
supervision of a certified cook and diners were required to sign a waiver
indemnifying Sugiyama and event organizers.
The artist claims steps were taken
so the act met all relevant laws, including a ban on organ sales, processing of
medical waste and even food sanitation requirements.
The artist who considers himself
"asexual", that is without gender, initially thought about eating the
genitals himself, but decided to solicit paying customers to help pay his
hospital bills for the surgery.
