Puppies are cute. Babies are cute. But what happens when you cross those two together?
Chinese designer Lingxizhu Meng decided to find that out by crossing human babies and puppies in a project called ‘Baby-Pet’.
Looking to the future, she imagines a world where “the act of genetically combining human with animal DNA is not illegal nor does it violate [moral] or ethical codes of conduct”.
“The discussions between should or should not we start to modify human gene was started many years ago,” Meng said. “Compared to vague ideas or abstract imaginations, I wanted to make a detailed speculation of the future of science and marketing.”
“I am not just attempting to shock the public. This project is simply a question—since technologically this is entirely possible, what would people do if it actually happens?”
