i bet a lot of you been wanting this, maybe. here it is. also some of the replies to this are pretty funny too, theirs even a elric brothers reference in there.

/and please scalfin dont turn this into a flamewar.

Well, when the diehard Imperials hear about this, I predict we'll be hearing lotsa "Mutant Scum" and such, even if as jests.

Could be interesting. Though not my main care (Come on, Multi-versal Travel). Besides, 99% human would mean very small changes, so your 'catperson' may only have more hair over their body, or a slightly different ear.

Of course, I'm all up for it if we can give people limb-regrowth.

As long as this is for medical reasons and doesn't become some sicko's wet dream (CoughFurvertsCough), I'm game.

Well, we know it'll take at least 19 years for a Furvert to legally fulfill their dream (18 years is legal in most areas, correct? Plus the 9 month incubation and such). As such, most Furverts of this age shall have long since lost such interests. A Godsend, really.

Personally, I'm just surprised it was the UK that did this first. I had my money on Japan the whole time.

Uk with Furries, US with Mechs, what's the world coming to?

Ah yes, "furverts." The silly euphemism to thinly veil judgment. Clever.

As for the topic, I think it's odd. I don't support mixing genetic materials between species (OMG a fur doesn't want real furs to mess with? Shocking, I know). I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't muck about with the unborn genetically. It's too ethically grey-area. Who decides what's moral or not when changing a fetus' genes?

Well, with the growth rate of an animal, wouldn't their dream's come true slightly ealier?

Hell, Flora's what? 13, 14? in human years of course.

Then with the rapidly growing furries, soldiers would be more quicklyly trained and sent out, causeing more wars, destruction. Nukes are used, half the world is taken out! The remaining half turns to hate to survive, blaming the furries for the problem, thos faithful pray to their lords and lordesses to smite the problem, and they themselves are wiped out.

Leaveing only the few, the proud, the people with common sense!
Horray, a perfect world!

No. =/

This stuff is all old news. I really doubt they'll ever perfect a way to have people grow fur and tails and the like.

I hope that everyone here is clear that this is not going to result in any kind of furry right?

I didn't think anyone would ever legalize this. Half of me wants to see where this technology can lead to, and if it really can cure diseases. Yet, the other half of me is saying how wrong it is to create (for lack of a better word), mutants.

It wont create mutants, its never going to happen. I'm sure someones going to be like "you don't know that" but its just something I guess, were going to have to find out, but I can guarantee every one of you here that it will never become a reality.

The End of Days will come before this ever happens!

Its not only that I believe that prophecy, Its also that I don't believe this is possible.

That's it, guys, squelch the hopes and dreams of millions. Well, thousands anyway. Okay, maybe more like hundreds. Alright, fine, squelch the hopes and dreams of about a dozen people with poor cognitive skills and abhorrent personal habits. :P

On a more serious note, I have to wonder what the point of this sort of research is anyway (other than an Etherscope sort of thing, which isn't really tenable in the modern world). Animals with human DNA, sure, there's all kinds of applications, but humans with animal DNA? Unless they're trying very hard to get around something like stem cell harvesting restrictions (then we get to play with the idea of "how much human DNA is required before we consider something human"), I guess I'm missing the point. Any ideas? Enlighten me, please.
