I think I'll stick with a dog.
that's a pretty elaborate site for a bunch of bullshit. hahaha
but its pretty cute. id want one. my dog would prolly try and eat it lol
Wow, it's very realistic--scary, almost...in a funny way.
Welcome to the future, lol.
Hahaha, just like bonsai kittens and buyapenguin.
Oh my GOD! That is so scary! I want one... just later... I want people to get them first to make sure they don't turn evil and kill people.
It's fake. :P
Can you imagine the outcry if these were for real?
But someday I have no doubt there will be custom made pets, and probably much cuter than these, lol...
Whhatt? Fake? Really? Damnit. Where's it say that?
Are Genpets Real?
Genpets are living, breathing mammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets are flesh and blood just like any other animal.
Genpets are packaged like toys though.
Genpets are designed to be sold on retail store shelves, not traditional pet stores. This is why they are packaged in plastic.
How?
We 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 bioluminescent jellyfish (link) and has since been used to create glowing rabbits, pigs, fish, and monkeys (link). Since then, human DNA has been injected into chimpanzees, spider into sheep, and now, Genpets have arrived.
Is bioengineering this far advanced?
In 2003 Human DNA was successfully combined with rabbit (and other animals), to create successful Chimera Hybrids. Read National Geographic for more information (link).
How do Genpets stay alive in the packages?
While the Genpets™ hang on retail shelves they are in a chemically induced type of hibernation controlled by a protein in the packages’ nutrient supply tubes. This was a natural trait found in many seasonal animals that would normally hibernate in colder northern climates that has been added to the Genpet line. This also ensures comfort for the Genpets™ while they are on store shelves.
What if I go on vacation?
The same protein that keeps the Genpet dormant on store shelves can be supplied at anytime during the life span of the Genpet making care for the pet incredibly simple.
Do Genpets show emotions?
Yes. This is part of why we have colour coded the Genpets. They come in seven different personality types. Each personality type shows slightly different emotions.
Do Genpets Talk?
Genpets have limited vocal chords for the convenience of parents. However, they do make some sound.
Do Genpets grow?
Genpets come fully-grown in their packaging.
Where can I buy Genpets?
Currently we are getting the Genpets approved for resale, as well as securing retail opportunities.
When will the Genpets be available for purchase?
As soon as possible!
How much will Genpets cost? (msrp)
This has yet to be set; however, we feel the Genpets will be very competitively priced.
How long do Genpets live?
Genpets come in two basic configurations, 1 and 3 year models. See our Meet section.
Do Genpets come out of the packages?
Yes, after purchase Genpets can be removed from their package; we will soon be doing a photo shoot to make this more clear through the website. Think of Genpets as living dolls. Genpets are designed to move more like a newborn human child, thus their range of motion is rather limited.
What, and how do you feed a Genpet?
Bio-Genica, as well as retail partners, sell a special nutrient pack for the Genpets that need only be administered once per week.
Do you have a reseller network?
Yes. If you are interested in becoming a reseller, please complete our Reseller Application form and a Bio-Genica representative will contact you shortly.
Why haven’t I seen any commercials for Genpets on TV?
As Genpets have not yet been released, we have not begun our marketing campaigns.

C'mon, that's SOOO tongue-in-cheek.
Yea... it probably would have been all over the news by now.
Lmao -> http://www.malepregnancy.com/
i'm not going to sleep very well tonight..that robot movie with will smith scared me. this just makes it worse! i think it cruel. i also really really hope its fake and never ever hits stores. this is too creepy.
I hope it's fake too,disturbing....
Me, I can't wait for robotic pets. No food, no poop! Meantime, this uproar about genetically modified animals is downright silly. Hello, humans have been manipulating the DNA of animals via selective breeding for a couple thousand years.
And one last thing. My pal owns not one but three pugs. Talk about a mutant species. Those micro monstrosities give me the creeps. Give me a robot monkey over a pug any day.
(Eagerly awaiting the flames of the PETA zealots.)
