- One of the central works in the exhibition "Design and the Elastic Mind" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (until 12 May), Victimless Leather, a small jacket made up of embryonic stem cells taken from mice, has died. The artists, Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, say the work which was fed nutrients by tube, expanded too quickly and clogged its own incubation system just five weeks after the show opened.

- From the page: Catts says his intention is "to raise questions about our exploitation of other living beings"... by growing a coat made out of living cells, you certainly did.

- "...I had to make the decision to kill it. And you know what? I felt I could not make that decision. I've always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I'm here not sleeping at night about killing a coat...That thing was never alive before it was grown."

..we are getting dangerously close to a precipice.. ..and knowing most humans are vile, selfish, loathsome individuals, this precipice is only a ledge into a vast pile of shit.

- Skin coat made from mouse stem cells. It was about to overflow from its' containment "bubble" so the nutrient flow as cut off. Poor little mouse coat died after only 5 weeks of coat life.
