Euthanasia Can Be Handy

I don’t usually read Boing Boing. But I did. And I saw this:

Curator euthanizes living leather jacket made from human mouse stem-cells

“A curator at NY-MOMA had to euthanize a living leather jacket made from human mouse stem-cells -- the art-work had grown out of control and threatened to overflow its containment unit.”

Go read the rest of it. Because you know you have to. I’ll just add this bit from their entry:

[Curator Paola] Antonelli says the jacket ‘started growing, growing, growing until it became too big. And [the artists] were back in Australia, so I had to make the decision to kill it.’ ”

And now I remain at my desk, creeped the fuck out.
