    Wonder what PETA will have to say about this one:eek:

    "In one of the odder stories we've spotted in some time, an installation called "Victimless Leather" was on display at NY's MoMA. The piece was actually a living jacket crafted from mouse embryonic stem cells, fed nutrients through tubes. But after five weeks, it grew too large for its containment flask and had to be killed."

    Although... if the technology could be proven, I for one would invest good money in a goldfish tuxedo.
