    <title>Frankenstein's Cat: Cuddling Up to Biotech's Brave New Beasts by Emily Anthes - Powell's Books</title>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["For centuries, weve toyed with our creature companions, breeding dogs that herd and hunt, housecats that look just like tigers, and teacup pigs that fit snugly in our handbags. But what happens when we take animal alteration a step further, engineering a cat that glows green under ultraviolet light or cloning the beloved family Labrador? Science has given us a whole new toolbox for tinkering with life. How are we using it?
"In Frankensteins Cat, the journalist Emily Anthes takes us from petri dish to pet store as she explores how biotechnology is shaping the future of our furry and feathered friends. As she ventures from bucolic barnyards to a “frozen zoo” where scientists are storing DNA from the planets most exotic creatures, she discovers how we can use cloning to protect endangered species, craft prosthetics to save injured animals, and employ genetic engineering to stock farms with disease-resistant livestock. Along the way, we meet some of the animals that are ushering in this astonishing age of enhancement, including sensor-wearing seals, cyborg beetles, a bionic bulldog, and the worlds first cloned cat.
"Through her encounters with scientists, conservationists, ethicists, and entrepreneurs, Anthes reveals that while some of our interventions may be trivial (behold: the GloFish), others could improve the lives of many species&#8212;including our own. So what does biotechnology really mean for the worlds wild things? And what do our brave new beasts tell us about ourselves?"]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One of their projects is to make glowing sushi from GloFish, commercially available zebrafish that have been modified with jellyfish and coral genes to make them fluoresce. The center also filmed the Glowing Sushi Cooking Show to teach you how to make your own transgenic sushi, provided you're not afraid of eating genetically modified organisms you bought from a pet store. But they are serious when they call their signature maki the "Not in California" roll. You can't legally purchase GloFish in California. If you're anywhere else in the US, though, you can go to town on raw fluorescent zebrafish."
Yet again, I have grown up and am living in a Bruce Sterling novel.]]></description>
