    I'm sure there's a market somewhere for the DNA-based "art", but the idea just seems a bit creepy to me.

    I'm sure they spell it out somewhere on their site or whatever, but ummm.. what do they do with your DNA material when the work is done? I can imagine all the conspiracy theorists out there having a field day with this one.

    This is kind of creepy. How would you even get a print out of your DNA to send to these people? (A memento of your prison stay maybe? M-Diddy might want one if that's the case.)

    Nice art, but way too expensive!. There's an alternative that offers you highest quality, lowest prices and maximum flexibility. The company GENEPORTRAIT creates beautiful and
    scientifically-solid genetic portraits from a sample of your own DNA. They can include multiple individuals (people/pets) in one single portrait which makes the experience much less expensive and more meaningful: You can directly compare your fingerprint with your loved ones' (family members, couple, pets, friends), generating both a unique sense of closeness and
    individuality. The artwork is delivered on CD giving you total freedom of choice to handle your work of art and save money in overall costs. Furthermore, you will preserve your DNA-art portrait for a lifetime.
