Your New Genetically Engineered Pet is Here!

This is a hoot: Say hello to the all new “Genpets.” They are “allergen free, child safe,” and “life perfected.” These “mass produced” bio-engineered pets come in plastic packages where your “new buddy” rests in suspended animation” until awakened. They come in seven different “personality types,” and two models, a one-year and a three-year lifespan.”

Pets today, pre-selected personalities for children tomorrow! Just think, no more teenage rebellions.

Don’t know if the Genpets are really sold, but if they are, they could become the new pet rock.
