Abstract

A combination of amplified genetic material from an individual or other organism with an inanimate article of manufacture to produce a bio-commemorative article is disclosed. The amplified genetic material is preferably produced from a polymerase chain reaction process. The amplified genetic material is coated onto the inanimate article of manufacture, incorporated within a structure of the inanimate article of manufacture or contained within a chamber provided in the inanimate article of manufacture. Optionally, the bio-commemorative article is packaged with documentation that establishes authenticity of the genetic material.

Claims

1. A bio-commemorative article comprising:

a support structure; and

amplified genetic material from an organism incorporated with the support structure.

2. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amplified genetic material is amplified DNA.

3. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 2, wherein the amplified DNA is polymerase chain reaction amplified DNA.

4. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amplified genetic material is incorporated into a material from which the support structure is manufactured.

5. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amplified genetic material is coated onto the support structure.

6. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support structure includes a holding chamber to hold the amplified genetic material.

7. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 6, wherein the amplified genetic material is incorporated into one of a solid, a liquid or a gel.

8. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, further comprising authenticity documentation.

9. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support structure includes a picture of an individual on its surface, wherein the amplified genetic material corresponds to the individual.

10. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support structure includes a name of an individual on its surface, wherein the amplified genetic material corresponds to the individual.

11. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amplified genetic material corresponds to a geographic location.

12. A bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amplified genetic material corresponds to an event.

13. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article comprising:

obtaining a sample of genetic material of an organism;

amplifying the genetic material; and

incorporating the amplified genetic material with an inanimate object.

14. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, wherein the genetic material is DNA and is amplified using a polymerase chain reaction process.

15. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, wherein the amplified genetic material is coated on the inanimate object.

16. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, wherein the amplified genetic material is included in a structure of the inanimate object.

17. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, wherein the amplified genetic material is place in a chamber of the inanimate object.

18. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, wherein the amplified genetic material is incorporated with one of a solid, a liquid, a gel or a powder.

19. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, further comprising placing an image of an individual on the inanimate object, wherein the genetic material corresponds to the individual.

20. A method of manufacturing a bio-commemorative article as claimed in claim 13, further comprising placing a name of an individual on the inanimate object, wherein the genetic material corresponds to the individual.
