The Duke of Edinburgh Award and ST’s “No sex for dead bodies”

Duke of Edinburgh Award winner’s mother accuses Prince Edward of going overboard (The Australian, October 30, 2009):

The Earl of Wessex, seventh in line to the throne, said in an interview with The Australian yesterday that the award remains popular with youth because it offers an element of serious danger, that “you could die doing this” .

“And the sense of adventure, the sense of excitement, that it gave you that sort of risk element – young people are like that still, that sense of adventure, the sense that it (death) is possible,” the prince said.

ST’s news article, “No sex for dead bodies” (October 30, 2009) on Body Worlds, “The Cycle of Life” exhibition:

The exhibitions, visited by some 28 million people around the world, have been criticised by some people as unacceptable, with German politicians taking special offence at ‘The Cycle of Life’ exhibit which opened in Berlin earlier this year because it included copulating cadavers.

These corpses, however, are not on display in Singapore. What’s on show is a flat cross-section of two copulating bodies that only shows their internal organs.
