I suppose
it was inevitable. (And could only trigger an impromptu Elvis Friday.)
“Hair samples of Elvis
Presley, bought on eBay were sent to a gene sequencing lab to identify
different behavioural traits (varied from sociability, athletic performance to
obesity and addiction). Using this information, transgenic mice clones with
parallel traits were produced. The genetically cloned models of Elvis (in this
case) are tested in a collection of various contemporary scientific mouse model
environments, simulating some of the significant biographical circumstances of
his life.” (Click here for the whole weird story)

It's nice that an artist can make cloned mice based on someone's 'behavioral traits' because as a, y'know, geneticist, I can't.
I suspect a certain amount of "this'll make the proles think!"iness from the artist. Although I admit those look like real dead rodents.
You know that bit in Alien Resurrection where we learn that Ripley is Ripley #8 and that there were 7 earlier, less successful clones...
Does this explain Pat Boone?
“Hair samples of Elvis Presley, bought on eBay..." Just stop right there.
