Gen Pets?

1-3 yr life span, buyers choice. Get em while thier hot!

*shaking head*

 

in this case, I'm happy to say, my own ignorance here, is my own bliss.
...don't wanna know...

 

id own one

 

Its a big joke. (HAHA funny) This is just like the "Bonsai Kitten" that every simpleton passed around on the internet like it was real. Unlike the "Bonsai Kitten" this site is around to "wake" people up to the issues with bio-engineering and dna manipulation. This is a site that was created to draw attention to the major issues and pass on simple information to the masses.

Whew. LoL Still ugly as hell though. And damn 1200 for one that moves. I'd have to save my allowance for that one.

 

Well, would you buy one AC? We are currently killing thousands of living animals in shelters and millions in slaughterhouses to say nothing of the people that are dying daily even though we(people on earth) have the resources to feed them all...
Of course if we(people of earth) did feed all the human race we sure wouldn't be eating steak every day.
I am in favor of thinking about these issues. If I had $1200 to spare I wouldn't be spending it on a gen-pet...
We can't take care of the living creatures(wild and domestic and human) of earth that are produced the old-fashioned way, why create disposable life?

 

Thank God that crap is phony! I might have had nightmares for the next several weeks! Very good point made by this guy. Very thought provoking indeed. I didn't even realize how far this has come. The links provided were real weren't they? there was one from National Geographic.

 

funny you mentioned that. That was exactly what I was thinking when I read this last night....

 

No for-frigging way in hell would I allow one of those things in my house!

Glad that it's not real

 

I hope that it dosen't become real. I'll be making it a point to show that site to as many people as I can.

 

Nah I don't have 1200 to toss like that. Even if I did I'd rather spend it towards something that isn't manufactured for our own sick twisted pleasure.

 

Yeah, how could it be in a plastic package & for sale, if it was alive. Glad it's fake.

 

that shit is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!11

 

"Our friends at GUSH Magazine inform us that Gen Pets are made by Adam Brandejs, a 24 year old artist from the Ontario College of Art & Design. The Gen Pets can be purchased in several retail stores on Queen Street, including Iodine and Arsenic."

This is what I found about it..still don't know if its real or not...

 

Gen-pets, by Canadian sculptor Adam Brandejs, consists of 19 plastic packages hung by hooks within a mock store set-up displaying streamlined, mass produced bio-engineered life. Each package consists of 3 layers of vacuum formed plastic surrounding a foam latex animatron: strange animals, grown and altered, by bioengineering, but obviously mammalian

They are twitching, shaking, clawing, moaing and head-butting their packaging with twist ties to keep them held in place. Feeding tubes supply the creatures with nourishment, as well as electricity for the glowing "fresh strips" and fully working heart monitors.

Brandejs wants to emphasize that these are not plastic toys, but mass produced, copyrighted life; modified for consumption; life wired, up to serve. The animals have been deemed worthless and marketed as midrange children's toys. They are tethered for practicality, not for security, and the cables that bind them demonstrate their relationship of utter dependency and submission immediately upon birth. They are sleeping in their packages and complacently awaiting to join their new home as one more possession, a consumable form of technology, the latest and greatest.

Gen-pet is part of Pulse, an an emerging artist's show curated by Angella Mackey.

At Interaccess, until Saturday, August 6, 2005.

Rethink Nature
Nature has never been a closed system, nor has it ever been balanced - we as a species have been affecting it for thousands of years. It has been our inspiration, and by choosing the best it has to offer we have been able to create absolute perfection. Patenting of living systems has become slowly accepted as our outlook on life has changed. As it is obvious that Genpets™ have never, and would never exist in nature, it seems silly to even question them as a patented technology.

Unlike other domesticated pets, Genpets™ have not been torn from their natural environment and forced to quickly adapt to a foreign habitat; instead, they are fulfilling a pre-designed destiny. Now doesn’t bioengineering nature make far more sense? Nature to us, is nothing more than inspiration for rough parts. We have picked out the best of everything to create absolute perfection.​

Before you start reaching for your credit card, this is the work of Canadian artist Adam Brandejs. Each Genpet is robotized so they move and twitch in their packaging. The heart rate monitor shows activity

They are fake! Ha mystery solved!

Fake yes but very thought prevolking. It makes a wonderful point. However Government labs still play God. splicing genes from one creature to another. Some for possible good and some not. Amphibious research once tried to form cells to re grow limbs if cut off as in frogs and other amphibians in other creatures. Didn't work would have been neat though. Got a bum knee cut the leg off and grow a new one. It was a thought. Gene splicing can lead to freak show beings though. It isn't that hard to do. Ethically I think it is wrong I suppose the artist does too.

 

yeah those are a little on the wierd side!! I have a feeling something like Gremlins is going to happen!
