Sculptures from discarded DNA

Found another interesting article.

It seems a US artist is using DNA extracted from discarded gum and cigarette butts to create 3D printed busts of what the litterbugs may have looked like.

Pretty interesting stuff, I had no idea that kind of genetic decoding technology was readily available...

Could also raise some ethics questions about the unauthorized use of someone's DNA for profit...
