Who knew bioengineering was so advance? According to genpets.com, genpets are bio engineered buddies that have 7 different personality types. To be honest anything that is not a living creature made by God would scare the shit out of me. There is even a genpets FAQ
Are Genpets Real animals? How?
Genpets are living, breathing mammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.
Do Genpets grow hair?
Very Little. Genpets only grow a small amount of hair under their armpits and are still allergen free.
Do Genpets feel pain?
Yes. However the Genpets have limited vocal chords so they will not create a large amount of noise when disturbed.
There's more of genpets FAQ. When i first stumbled upon this website, it really gives me the creep yet I wanted one. There was no indication of date of release of any sort. Made me wonder if these things were legit. Googled about it and found out it was a hoax. What a bummer!Snopes.com claimed that genpets are just art work done by a 24 year old Canadian artist, Adam Brandejs. Great job on the website got me really fooled.
