As of 07/05/10 it is a reality!

Genpets are not toys or robots. They are living, breathing genetic animals. They use a process called "Zygote Micro Injection" which is quickly becoming a favourable method to combine DNA, or to insert certain proteins from different species. Most notably it was used in 1997 to splice mice with bio luminescent jellyfish (link: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/ne... ) and has since been used to create glowing rabbits, pigs, fish, and monkeys (link: http://health.usnews.com/usnews/healt... ). Since then, human DNA has been injected into rabbits, chimpanzees, spider DNA into sheep, and now, Genpets have arrived!

Genpets are a mixed media installation art piece by artist Adam Brandejs. Intended to be displayed as living, but dormant, bioengineered creatures for purchase as pets. The fabricated packaging indicated a purchaser had a choice of colors, for different personalities and levels of activity, and that the creatures had a limited vocal capacity. The sculptures and packaging, so realistic that observers are often fooled. In 2006, Genpets were featured on the weblog in San Diego, California. as well as broadcast on BBC News Worldwide on a BBC program, as well as the Times (UK), the New York Times and G4TechTV. All the work was hand done by the artist Adam Brandejs, with assistance from makeup artist Crystal Pallister for the coloring of the creatures. The video show the actual 19 genpet units that display at art galleries. Genpets have been displayed at multiple Fine Art galleries and museum displays in both North America and Europe. The project has been shown in multiple galleries in Canada and Europe and has garnered some attention in the mass media. The creations were sculpted, automated creatures made of latex and plastic, and housed robotic circuitry to simulate slow respiration. It is considered a hoax of exposure.
