The Young Family[1] is a sculpture by Australian artist Patricia Piccinini chosen to represent Australia at the 2003 Venice Biennale. The concept is what human-animal hybrids might look and feature provocative creatures which are part of a sculpture entitled "The Young Family".
The work also addresses the reality of such possible parahumans in a compassionate way. Transhumanists would call for the recognition of self-aware parahumans as persons.
