Genpets

Thanks Kesdjan, didn't have time to reasearch the entire thing, someone just showed it to me briefly at the office. I didn't think it's the real deal. Bloody well done, if you ask me :)
 
I agree it is probably a hoax-but it is very well done. If an art project, hoax or whatever someone certainly invested a good deal of time-and money or so I would think, into the production. To each their own.

Art is meant to provoke feelings-thoughts-whether positive or negative and on that level, I would say it has succeded (got our attention and provoked us did it not?)

Our attitude toward the thing is subjective-totally a matter of opinion. But who would honestly want a pet that pretty much remains in a new born state-regardless of the ease of care? But then again-look at some of the toys on the market (especially those aimed at boys) Most of these toys are stupid-with all the entertainment and educational value of watching paint dry-many centered around violence or mindless activity.

But there it is-an opinion. Someone would buy one of these (think "pet rock" and "chia pets" people bought those, did they not?) as a gag gift (emphasis on "gag") or genuinely think they are "cute"-

Quite frankly if you want a "pet" that cannot really do anything except lay there-get a stuffed animal (and no I do not mean a real animal stuffed by a taxidermist)-at least it won't need feeding, feel pain or DIE.

If these things are real the animal rights activists will have a field day if they are brought to market...
 
Anyone got Q&A about Humans for sale in "lizzies" stores ? :) I bet it's not much different

How are the personalities controlled?
The Genpet feeding packs are color coded and specially formulated with a custom drug mixture that can be used to control the Genpet, much like human drugs can such as Ritalin or Lithium and other behaviour modifying drugs. Thus we can calm them, or stimulate them without extra tampering to the DNA structure.

Do Genpets feel pain?
Yes. However the Genpets have limited vocal chords so they will not create a large amount of noise when disturbed.
