Start-up company Genetic Ink lets you decorate your living room with parts of yourself -- literally. The New York company will make creative works of art from your DNA.
Genetic Ink will send you a DNA collecting kit and you send back a cheek swab sample. The company will then sequence your DNA in a lab. An algorithm turns the sequence into a very personal piece of art. The resulting print comes in 17 color schemes and four sizes.
This product is ideal for people who want to live forever. You can become immortalized in a piece of art and live on even after death. And for all those pet lovers out there, the company says it can also make art from pet DNA, so Mittens and Fido can live on forever too!
