Title: Gene Splicing animal into humans
Post by: rockduda on January 03, 2016, 03:13:39 AM
hi so yeah this is a topic about gene splicing if there is any scientists out there I would love to hear from you so I see a lot of what if, it impossible and it's unethical to test on humans.
well I want your opinion
I what to know is it possible would you go along and do it
and I want to know if possible but being stopped by law saying you can't test on people why WHY haven't we as a furry family done a petition to say it's ok to do testing on humans to turn us in to furries
let me know what you think and if you agree/disagree let me know :3

hope to hear from you soon

I wouldn't wanna risk Turning Into an abomination that very few people in my life would be willing to accept. Especially considering in my area I'd be considered "big game" if that were the case.

That's a big F- to the NO for me. You can get away with animation, but consult the live action Cat in the Hat movie and you'll see the reason(s) why I ain't doin' dat

Well, one of the primary reasons humans cannot interbreed with other species is the number of chromosomes  in each set of gametes , as well as the slight differences in blood pH. If you wanted to try and splice to create an anthropomorphic child, first we'd probably need to find which animals have the same blood pH. Afterwards find some way to add enough chromosomes  to the animal gamete or take away enough chromosomes from a human gamete to fertilize and use a living womb, not a tube to let the child develop (if it does develop).

Yea... it is technically possible to create anthropomorphic organisms, but in the real world, "ethics" prevents many accomplishments of science. You can mix 2 separate species, we already have the technology, a modified version of CRISPR can put in genes and take them out. Body shape and fur are governed by a relatively few number of genes, and we can splice those in after we find how they work. The point is, it is an accomplishable thing, if ethics allows it. But I bet our "ethics" would never allow for such things. Even here, people would disagree with it happening. But maybe that's a good thing, since ethics also prevents us from annilating ourselves with nuclear war.
