Ahah yes. Get someone drunk so they agree to something they would not consent to were they sober. Haha. Oh waitDurgiun said:
OT: Couldn't the money on this research be better spend elsewhere? I mean, really. Rather than cure cancer, we're doing THIS?
Wrong for ethics reasons, wrong because it's a waste of time/effort, wrong because it's just stupid? That, and I really just can't see that scientifically being...safe? most animals' life spans are a fraction of our own, so anyone willing to do this would be willingly cutting decades off their lives. And inb4 "hurr durr smoking/drinking same thing". Seriously, a dog's average life-span is 12-14 years. Just thinking about how the hell that'd work is making me dizzy. Then again, I feel like more people here should've read/seen "The Island of Dr. Moreau"
And seriously, why?
And seriously, why?
Soldier on in the phlegmatic indifference that always characterizes me when the news of the day doesn't have a direct and tangible impact on my present state of being. Unimaginative and debatably unwise that approach may be, but at least I don't spend my nights up worrying about mass yiffings and Floridian infanticide.
AFTERTHOUGHT: I'd probably buy a few guns, a stockpile of ammunition, and make sure my marksmanship is up to snuff. I can list numerous ways this would backfire horribly, with nigh-cataclysmic consequences.

im sorry i have to get this out of me. FUCK YES! ok done if i could i would have a Anthro dragon body built for me and have my brain transplanted into said body. people would hate on me but i wouldn't be touched. whats a human to a 8 ft tall Anthro dragon which could rip you to shreds. Humans are afraid of what they cant control.
also said transplant is possible as the body was created with the help of human cells and we know the human brain is universally accepted by humans so it could work today if we find a way to repair nerves.

id have to agree, it would be like cloning, risky and would take many failed attempts to pull it off.Kahunaburger said:
not to say it wouldnt be kinda cool...just a bad idea though.
So basically I can become like Sabertooth from Marvel....Sign me the fuck up right now sir.
A dog is a bit too low to be any real good. You'll need apex creatures to make great hybrids like Bears, Wolves, and Lions just to name a few. The lifespans of the hybrids maybe doubled because they have better bone, muscle structure and a much stronger immune system. Heighten vision, hearing, smell. We'll have more control of our bodies. Falling won't break bones as easily, you'll be able to survive harsher weather conditions. Most likely hybrids aren't gonna come from one animal but taking dominant traits from many and splicing them with our own. Fuck up somewhat yes but in the long term it might be needed.Grey_Focks said:
What, you mean like splicing from Batman Beyond? Well...
AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
wait didnt alien Resurrection kinda do something like this?Kahunaburger said:
yeah that scene where she torches the failures come to mind.
Interesting idea. It may be a nessessary reality because it would be more renewable than building machines to do work and constantly mining more out of our planet.
I think it would be quiet discomfort. The large mouthed idiots would be mauled by a manbearpig and survival of the fittest would take effect.Baradiel said:
So we make something as smart as a human and then force it into servitude saving our lives.TrilbyWill said:
This is a very dark thread.
I'd most likely have a one word reaction WHY!? Aren't there a few more important things we could be funding? You know like, that whole AIDS thing? (I guess that was more then one word but you get my point)
My reaction would be the only typical, sane reaction to this development:
Oh God in Heaven, kill it with fire!
I believe it was said best as this: "We do what we must because we can"spartan231490 said:
so why not? science must be done! as for "ethics"... that's a relative term. if we followed everything by the "ethical" book throughout history, we'd pretty much have no understanding of, well, anything. animal testing, human autopsies, human experimentation (especially on college kids and paid with beer), and all that mess... where would we be without it? hell, right now we're still in a big debate over stemcells and the ethics of using them to cure all kinds of things (in theory). give it another 50 years and anthropomorphic procedures will be nothing less ethical than eating baby dolphins (oh right, that's also no big deal in the future... just a heads up).
Being a smart bear (or a wolf or dog, you know , the sort of think furries want to be) dosn't make you better in a physiological way, it just makes you different.
for example, a bear can't grab a shotgun and fire at a crowd, it just lacks thumbs, while a man can't hunt with his bare (bear, gedit?) hands, so they use tools to hunt.
Humans are almost always superior to animals, and you can't denay that! (we are the only animal that can extingish more than 30% of the world's species and survive in almost every biome we find ourselves in).
now, an "human-like" inteligent dog could be a usefull creation, but said dog would suffer from the limitations of his body.
now, creating actual anthropomorphic (walks with two legs, has arms, etc...). creature could be a great creation, but still, most animals one could base on are severly liited to a certain biome (that's because of the fur), so I gues that a superor dessign shouldn't be based on fusing animal and man toghether, but by using man's creativity to improve upon man, just like we've been doing for a looong time.
