Furry Morality Question

[Corporal Yakob]

Become a Furry as efficient as Daft Punk!?! Yes please!


(After 5 mins struggling, that was the best pun I could come up with >_>)

 

[Pinstar]

I fail to see a downside.
OK maybe one.

Say I took the serum and turned into a raccoon and my wife took it and turned into, say, an arctic fox. Would we be able to have another child together? Or would our one son be it. If we gave him the serum, would he turn into some sort of fox/raccoon hybrid or something else entirely?

I was kinda considering this fact, but I though that perhaps, if the serum it self is gotten from the manufactors, then both you and your wife could be the same speices. But I would not be suprised if it turns out that if you had another child, it would be a hybrid.

Now, on to my side of the opionin: Yes, I support it. I can't say that I would nessisaraly use this serum, under certain curcumstances, I would. Plus, more power to the furries out there; They need all the help they can get.

 

[Coldster]

As long as I don't have furries trying to have sex with me then I would take it in a heartbeat.

 

[Andreas55k]

I would be Reluctant... I would not blame anyone who did it... I just dont think i would do it... I dont have any other thing to back it up with other than, "I feel like i should not do it"...

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Hey, if I have superhuman abilities and the way to rock a pair of kick-ass wolf ears, I'm doing it. I'm already discriminated against, it'll just make it more obvious discrimination so yeah. Fuck it, I'd go for it.

 

[Pakkie]

Fuck yes

 

[alrekr]

No, basically because in my over-whatifrical mind I'd be asking myself what the downfall, the catch, or the side effects are to this drug beyond it's furriness.

I imagine that instincts and basic animalistic urges would heighten as well, leading to territorial wars and a loss of organized society without some construct of alpha males ruling over prides or packs. Could also lead to a loss of ingenuity, which is tied to but not exclusive to intelligence. Without ingenuity you lose creativity and end up a work horse, being able to solve equations and life heavy objects but not so good at being inventiveNot to mention that by exploiting the new, heightened animalistic urges of the Furs, non-users may easily be able to manipulate them into doing the grunt work thus creating class systems where the Humans are on top and the Furs are near bottom., which is integral to my line of work so...

Nope.

Well thats assuming that humans don't have any of this already I have you forgotten that we are animals already, just another group of mammals. We have alpha males, our presidents, kings, queens, prime ministers.

Also not all animasl follow the same social patterns. Meerkats have a rather socialist group structure. Wolves tend to live alone and sometimes group in packs for a time. Most human behaviour is due to society and upbrining. Humans have the potential for language, doesn't mean we will learn it though.

The idea of human-animal hybrids has been floating around for a while now (Focus did a article on this about a year ago at least) and there are some cases of people acting on these theories (key gorrila penis replacements for men)


Bottom line: Who wouldn't want to be Hank Mccoy (a.k.a Beast) the blue furred genius (we also happens to be preety popular with the ladies post furrifaction).

I have not forgotten, dear poster. But really in what ways would Meerkat genetics introduced into our system be beneficial?

Actually that's a good question, what animal parts would we grow? And why would I want a gorilla penis?

Well that's beside the point, what's important is that we human animals appear to be more in control of our animal urges and in some ways are, but not entirely. Introduction of a syrum that can potentially offset ingenuity for intelligence would weaken our control over those urges and it'd bee soon that we'd be unable to be civil about matters.

Presidential debates would be more interesting though.

I still disagree about animals not having ingenuity, chimps have been found to have crafted basic tools such as using stick to get to termites.

 

[Sansha]

So, a Worgen from WoW?

Fuck yes, I'm sold.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I wouldn't. Who the fuck wants to maintain all that fur?

 

[PSIcho2468]

The only reason I wouldn't do it would be because I don't know what I'm doing which can easily be fixed with an instruction manual.

 

[ragestreet]

I'd do it. I've always thought cat or dog ears were kinda cute. Nothing further than that though.

 

[JoshuaMadoc]

If anyone gets turned into a Samoyed and can't have all that fur, just trim most of it real short.

 

[Auron225]

I would probably think about it for a long while, and then if I decide to do it, spend an equal amount of time considering which animal to hybrid myself with. Im honestly not sure at this point, but its a very interesting question!! =)

Im gonna be thinking about this for the next while...

Quick Question: Some people are talking about doing it for things like cats/dogs/wolfs ears and teeth/claws and all that. Would taking a strong enough serum of something big with wings give me wings? Say, an eagle? If it did, Im guessing the other less-desirable effects would increase too, such as being covered with feathers from head to toe...?

 

[Jedoro]

Sign me up. I sure wouldn't mind being one step closer to a werewolf.

 

[rokkolpo]

This would certainly improve a lot of things.

The fact that I'll be hairy can be overlooked.
Even though I have a dislike for body hair, a fur can be quite nice I imagine.

 

[EradiusLore]

Absolutely disgusting. There is already a huge social inequality gap in the developed world. Something like this would only serve to widen it even further. People would be denied opportunities becuase they could not afford to purchase this serum. People would be incapable of doing as much as those who were fortunate enough to get the wealth needed to acquire it. Some people will merely use the serum to make up for their own lack of effort. Such a thing will only bring problems to our society, and thus must not be used.

As for it turning people into an animal human hybrid, that just makes a bad thing even worse. Hybrids brought about through the manipulation of genes should not be allowed in society. It would lead to a ton of discrimination from both sides. Humans would resent them for being "unnatural", while hybrids would view themselves as the superior species due to their genetic modifications. This would cause a ton of problems, obviously.

i agree it could cause a rift with undeveloped countries but to deny progress just because a % of people wotn be able to share in it is stupid, science is the way forward, progress comes through change and so i wouldnt be to bothered, i can see religious groups being but lets be honest here, religion is dying (very slowely, which is a shame) so let the past be the past and let science take its course!

oh and personaly i would take it if i had proof that it could improve my mental capacity higher then what it currently is + strength etc. if it didnt then i wouldnt because even though im pretty furry atm i wouldnt like to be a furry just for the sake of being one

 

[Gabriel of Creosha]

I would, if of course I could hope it to not cause A giant rift between upper, middle, and lowe classes. If I could however, I would, I know alot of people who would for the power, I would do it just so I could help to better the world, not rule it.
