"Frankenstein's Cat" is a non-fiction book by Emily Anthes, published in 2013. The book explores the ways in which scientists are using genetic engineering and biotechnology to manipulate and modify animals. Anthes visits laboratories around the world to investigate projects such as genetically engineered goats that produce spider silk, mice that can sniff out land mines, and pigs that are used as organ donors for humans. She also looks at the ethical and societal implications of these experiments, considering questions such as how much control humans should have over nature and what the long-term consequences of genetic engineering might be. "Frankenstein's Cat" is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the frontiers of genetic research and the complex relationship between humans and the animals we share the world with.
