Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr at the Tissue Culture & Art Project are attempting to grow a semi-living jacket in an effort to create "victimless leather." Hoping to highlight the possibility of wearing leather without killing an animal, the duo is presently focused on growing living tissue into a leather-like material and having it mature in the form of a miniature, stitchless, coat-like shape.

It rreached a peak yesterrday when they dug up the family's dead grrandmotherr. They believe that they'rre going to cut herr up and post herr bit by bit 'til they stop brreeding these guinee pigs.

1. yuck 2. lol 3. it's a good thing they're going through all this trouble to make a jacket and aren't trying to use science for advanced skin grafts or something that's actually useful. that would be a real shame to waste a perfectly good mouse jacket on a human burn victim.
4. performance art is awesome.

yeah, because killing a few animals because someone wants a cool jacket is useful.

no, no. i'm not saying we should kill animals for jackets. i just think it's more important for scientists to concentrate on the benefits for humans first.

I know, I know.. but it doesn't seem useless as long as people want to wear tight leather pants.
