Genpets, Are We Ready For Bioengineered Pet ?

Genpets are not toys or robots. They are living, breathing genetic animals.According to the website that is supposedly looking for marketing opportunities for their product, the Genpet description is as follows:

"Genpets are living, breathing ammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic."





Here’s the URL to the official website: www.genpets.com

    "Genpets are a mixed media installation art piece by artist Adam Brandejs.[1] It is considered a hoax of exposure. The project has been shown in multiple galleries in Canada and Europe and has garnered some attention in the mass media"

    So, i guess you have to fix this post, right?
