Abstract: The DREADCO team is attempting to create pets with a short shelf life. The idea is to shorten the teleomeres at the ends of the pets' chromosomes, thereby encouraging a shorter life span. This would be the answer to all those pets bought as Christmas presents, but who are unwanted by Easter.
