Mouse Jacket (not a jacket for a mouse, but a jacket made of living mice cells)

what's playing: "You To Thank" by Ben Folds

This has got to be one of the weirdest things I have read in a long time.

Evidently, someone made a jacket out of mouse stem cells --an actual piece of clothing that was alive and being fed by tubes (TUBE TECHNOLOGY!!!). The jacket was being kept alive in an incubator, but after 5 weeks began to grow too fast, so the piece of apparel was euthanised.

If ever three letters were more appropriate, I don't know the occasion.

WTF?!
