I’m not saying it’s scientifically impossible, it just seems fishy to me. Then again, if you asked people 100 years ago about airplanes, they would probably chalk up the notion to witchcraft, so there you have it.

On twitter, some very helpful folks pointed out another site, http://www.DNA2Diamonds.com/, that also works with pet ashes and hair as well. For pet lovers, this is a pretty big option as many don’t know what to do when their pet dies.

I don’t know why not? Hair is just dead skin cells.

I am kind of suspicious of the idea that you can make diamonds from hair. Seems a little too close to making gold from straw.

That’s true, it’s not. I think what redeemed it for me was that you can make it with hair and it can be done while the person is living.

Seems creepy to me. I can’t really articulate why.

By the way, a tattoo isn’t made with the physical remains of a dead person.
