The ear mouse [1997]

This picture was shot in Vacanti’s Boston Lab and it caused outrage among animal rights activists. Growing tissue in the lab is a controversial technique developed by American scientists and it was seen for the fist time in this picture a fully grown human ear on the back of a mouse. Animal rights activists describe it as cruel, while others have moral reservations about allowing scientists to create life in any form.
