Wow. Check out the \"how\" page. Pretty damn neat, and it all started out as an exploration in packaging design.

woah freaky its like the movie iRobot, check out this quote \"We already package and strap down animals, pump them full of drugs, and hook various tubes into them. When we can take natural animals and legally label them ‘product’ and strip away all animal rights, why would a genetically modified organism with patented DNA made by a large corporation be given more rights? It just wouldn’t happen.\" Found on the Why page at the bottom, wierd stuff..

I read through his site and a couple of others. This boarders on twisted. Why would you want to do this?

He was trying to make a point about what he fears will happen with patented animals. And the fact that he he has been getting oodles of request to buy and sell the critters only backs up his point.
No, I don't think bioengineering is inherently evil, but I do suspect we will do many very evil things with it.

ha I could see you killing it you sound so honest. I see you punting it off a bridge.
I mean the thing is UGLY but if it was 'cute' or something your wife would like it but look it it its so frekin ugly its face and armpit hair, all I could do to help it is show it what comes out the end of a shotgun.
