   Is this for real or what ?
  Just what the hell are these things ????!!Gen PetsArtificially bio-engineered pets, living and breathing (apparently)- infused with DNA and such. Is this all a grand hoax or a new and twisted commercial application for the the ever emerging field of biotechnology ? If this is real then its time to start getting worried I think. Just whatever will be next ? Do you think we have the right to play god in such a way ? Is this just a stepping stone towards the creation of fully functionaly artificially engineered beings ? I'd like to hear what you all think of this. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find this stuff seriously creepy...   
  Very real.   ;It's been done...;Quote:Original post by DarraghI'd like to hear what you all think of this. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find this stuff seriously creepy...What creeps me out is the poor shape of their website. They won't even let me order one! I want my affront to nature NOW, darn it!   ;  ...Omigod.   ;  I ordered one. It's on the way. When you see these things in real life, they're really cool.   ;  I still don't know about it though, i'll only believe it when I see it... Those creatures look like frankenstein's monster gone wrong.. Macarbre is one word I would use to describe it. Still- I suppose in this day and age its not completely unthinkable. If this is fact- i'm just wondering where the hell its all going to end up.. I'm not religious, and i'm all for science and progress- but I still think some things are best left alone. I don't like the idea of man tinkering with the fabric of life itself, certainly not for commercial explotation anyhow! I just don't think we are responsible enough to be messing with such things.   ;  ...People actually believe that this stuff is real?EDIT:  I dug out a link belonging to the creator.   ;  It's real.  I ordered a couple of the 1-year models, and they work fine.  I'm thinking of investing in the 3-year model.   ;  If this were real, I don't think that I could stand to be in a room with on of those things.I also object to referring to the "freshness" of anything alive and sentient (or mostly sentient).
