Michael Jackson's DNA Used To Make Diamonds

Michael Jackson via last.fm

Apparently, Michael Jackson is still making loads of money, despite his recent death. The Telegraph in London has published a news report on a rather macabre trait which seems to be becoming more popular is America.

A company called LifeGem says that it managed to get hold of some of Jackson’s hair from the producer of the 1984 Pepsi advert where the pop star’s hair caught fire.

LifeGem will create diamonds from Michael Jackson’s DNA and sell them. The company charges bereaved families something in the region of $5000 upwards if they want a permanent gem memento from a loved one’s DNA.

No doubt the price of their latest money making scheme will be much higher.

However, it seems that fans will pay the price as the frenzy continues.
