Bone of contention
I expect this biojewellry project will trigger a debate about aesthetics rather than the debate about bio-engineering this BBC article anticipates.
Couples who want to share more than vows are getting the opportunity to share their bone too in a "bio jewellery" research project. Using bioglass, a special bioactive ceramic which mimics the structure of bone material, researchers are growing rings made out of the couples' bone. Five couples are having the rings made. They will be grown from bone cells taken from their jawbone.
