Biopresence and Transgenic Tombstones
Biopresence developed a unique method, that allows us to store human DNA 'within' the DNA of a plant cell, WITHOUT affecting the genes of the resulting organism (genetically or visually). Biopresence trees can be seen as 'Living Memorials' or 'Transgenic Tombstones'. The creators, Georg Tremmel and Shiho Fukuhara, believe that a growing, living tree has the ability to comfort in a completely different way than cold gravestones.
