    This is Beyond Weird!!

    http://www.genpets.com/index.php
    I couldn't find any link to where these are sold, and for how much. They really kind of creep me out. They look like fetuses encased in plastic lol!
    I'd love to see how they actually work though...morbid curiosity maybe?

    It says they are looking for venues to sell them. It seems very strange- surely they can't be real?

    They are sculptures, designed to make you think.

    From the website:

    This sculpture is the physical representation of a question. Bioengineering, like any new technology promises a great deal of positive effects. We as a race however tend to put a great deal more faith into technology as a saviour than it necessarily has earned. Through Genpets I question the negative effect that bioengineering can have, for we all know that when it all comes down to it, profit is the bottom line.
    The question surrounding bioengineering is not in it's positive or negative ramifications, or where it can take us; it is whether or not we are responsible enough to go there.
