Looks like the
geneticists have created something new for you to spend your money on. It’s called designer pets.

They have
cross-bred the African serval and Asian leopard cat with a domestic cat to come
up with a once-in-a life critter that will make your neighbors green with envy.
Price tag is $22,000. It looks like a small leopard and its called the “Ashera”.
It comes complete with its own microchip identifier and an animal psychologist
to ensure that the new pet adjusts well—both psychologically and emotionally-to
its new environment.
You won’t see
photos of this animal in your zoology book because nature hadn’t thought of it
yet. But the geneticist have.
From all
indications, the geneticists can now mix and match chromosomes and DNA patterns
just like they were baking a batch of corn bread.
My favorite
designer critter is the see-through frogs which Japanese geneticists came up.
Squeamish high school students don’t have to dissect them, they can just look
inside the frog’s body to see how the heart, lungs and digestive system all
work together. No formaldehyde, bloody, dissecting utensils and nauseating
grimaces.
At this rate, you’ll
soon be able to design your offspring.
Give me a couple
of blue-eyed, fair-skinned, curly-haired males that are 6 feet tall with
peasant dispositions and an IQ over 140. As a side-order, I’ll have a dark-haired,
petite female with a quiet smile and a penchant for painting.
It is absolutely impossible to not expect
designer children next.
If you’re got the
money, you can get it.
