Lets say that scientists find a way to create anthropomorphic animals and trans-species (i suppose that is the most appropriate term for it) surgery (as in human-anthro change).

I would react to it by purposing an even better question.... why?
No seriously, what would we gain in the process? I guess other than simply for the sake of science there aren't any practical applications for it...

Creating an intelligent human-animal hybrid is cruel to (and violates the rights of) said hybrid. That's some Island of Dr. Moreau or Fullmetal Alchemist shit, man.TrilbyWill said:
lets say we get anthropomorphic dogs. instead of having to follow rescue dogs we could just make the anthro dogs the rescue team (if they had human intelligence, which i suppose is a part of anthropomorphism)Angel Molina said:
I have a feeling I'd probably walk around with this fixed expression 0_0 I mean I think it would have quite the uncanny valley effect. I'm not bashing furries here, I'm just saying that illustrations in general even things like Anime wouldn't translate very well into 3D. For example:
Yeah, pretty creepy ain't it.

I would find the first doctor willing to turn me into a half human-half Pereguin Falcon and ask them to TAKE MY MONEY!
thats a chimaera. imagine if we evolved from dog-like creatures instead of monkey-like creatures.Kahunaburger said:
If it's just surgery, it wouldn't be too different than what Stalking Cat or Lizard Man [http://www.unfinishedman.com/wild-and-extreme-body-modifications/] have already done and thus, just be another form of body art. They might be nice to look at by nothing that changes the world in any significant way.
If you mean gene splicing or creation of new sets of artificial genes which combine traits from humans and other animals, I'd react with extreme curiosity until any further information about these new sapient entities is released.
Such beings could, by their very existence, redefine what it means to be human.

hmmm, I would probably find the perfect other half before chimerizing, it's bound to hurt after all.
Well, then what must be taken into account is then: would it cost less to create then creatures for a specific job (like you mentioned) as opposed to a human being (like a firefighter or similar employment)... Of coarse, there are certain things that anthropomorphic creatures could do that a normal human being could not, but again, is it worth the cost. The the value of the goal exceed those costs?TrilbyWill said:
Well, yeah, that's the Island of Dr. Moreau version, and it would be incredibly cruel to the surviving sapient creatures.TrilbyWill said:
