Human DNA Jewel Pendant

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on March 30th, 2006

The memory of a loved one no longer has to be just in your heart and mind. One way to keep them close to you always is to create a Biopresence Human DNA Tree and another at funeral homes with the Heritage Card. Now the same company that makes the Life Jewel Pendant for preserving your pet’s DNA is offering the same for human DNA.

The silver pendants cost $428 with DNA extracted from hair or fingernail. Extracted DNA is encased in crystal which is then made into a pendant. Two styles are available:

• Rounded perfume bottle
• Cartoon-like human faces that come in two complementary pieces

Some people are getting the pendants more as a novelty item (an expensive one at that!) and others are hoping to save the DNA for future use. Yes, that’s right, they want to use the DNA to make a clone. Speaking as an expert and a person with common sense - “Not in this lifetime, baby.”
