Taboos vary widely from one group to another. An
encyclopedic article on anatomy needs illustrations, and
human anatomy is a subject that an encyclopedia should,
and this encyclopedia does, cover.

Anyone likely to be offended by an image of a penis, clitoris,
or vagina is likely to be offended by the rest of the article, and
has the option of not reading it.
