On my way home today I had thought pop into my head. It has to do with furries but its not nessesarily restricted to them. Here goes.
Alright so a research company comes up with a serum and releases it this year. The company itself is not important, the serum itself is not important. If you have to ask, the company made the serum for the betterment of humanity.
What the serum does is improve your mental and physical prowess above that of a normal human. However, we're being realistic here. Your not Captian America, but the average serum user is equal in brains to a smart human. A genius user will always be smarter than a genius non-user. If you have never been able to lift a car, well now you can alibet only a foot or two. You can work longer, harder, faster, better, and stronger.
However, the serum does this by combining animal traits with human traits producing animal-human hybrids, the aforemention furry part. Using the serum turns you into a furry (assuming there are multiple types of serums for people who want a specific hybrid, one for a fox-human, wolf-human, etc...)
Obviously the person who uses it is going to face a lot of social problems, discrimination prominently. Honestly, I'd do it. Discrimination be damned I'd probably be smarter than all my co-workers, score one promotion for me.
EDIT: It appears a lot of people are saying that the serum wouldn't do any good because introducing animal genes in humans would have no good effect... scientifically that is. We're not talking about sceince here though (which kinda goes back to what I said earlier, the serum dosen't matter and a later post where I said it could be made of shit and pickles and still work), what matters is the moral implications. Not whther it is possible or not.
EDIT 2: One more edit! I also noticed a lot of people who were talking about how far the serum goes in regards to furriness. The serum's physical changes are 50% (for those of you who are familiar with that image, if not, look it up).
