The problem of this likely causing a divide in society between the Halfies and the Humans. You know X-men? It could seriously be something like that... but with more Furries.Baneat said:
Furry Morality Question

depends on the level of Furry. if i can just rock a pair of fox ears great. if my whole body is literally Furry than i'd have to think about it.
May be a really different thing to learn to cope with the idiots that treat you like a freak, but all in all In my opinion I think it would be awesome to be a Furry my name kinda helps which one I would be.
I think such social descrimination only comes from people who cannot accept difference and think themselves superior, and in this case difference in appearence. I'm sure people like that would be delighted to comment such things given they don't do much in life at all.
Wouldn't be hard to resist any of them anyway, given you would be super powerful
Anyway, real friends don't care about appearence and would respect your choice, and you for who you are, not for what you look like.
I'd also like to be a werewolf
Chicks dig werewolves.

And so the fursecution complex becomes even more extreme.
Yes, everyone has a right to their own sexual preferences and fetishes. I have fetishes that people think is freakish and weird, but I never mention it unless it is absolutely necissry to the conversation. Why? Because people don't want to know.
OT: I'd have to debate taking it. Progress and SCIENCE(!!!) and all that.

Um, did you even read the question? It's not difference in just appearance. These hybrids are more intelligent than you. By taking the serum they instantly become superior to you. The moral dilemma here isn't that people are becoming hybrids; it's that they are gaining a huge advantage over others in society because they had the money to buy the serum and were willing to altar their body in disturbing ways. You're letting people pay to become instantly better, denying others the same chance becuase they don't have the cash. It would drastically lengthen the already large social gap that exists in our society.Rad Dragonheart said:
this would either :Harkwell said:
A: make one really cool sci-fi movie
B: will end up on the SYFY channel
C: will end up like the x-men were they are a more advanced human species that are persecuted and face legal registration and blah blah blah.
D: would make some interesting porno.
E: make centaurs minotaurs ect (awesome)
F: Kill you because gene slicing will kill humans if its done like that....or anyway actually. actually i think the movie SPLICE was like this (with more violence, but i digress)
honestly dude...you thought up of a cool idea. write a book a publish it.
wouldn't this discriminate religious people? because being part animal would force them to give up part of their immortal soul and so they could never take that shit, and everyone else would be getting smarter and stronger and we would start building ghettos around churches and such...
i got way of topic there, i would take the stuff, i have always been rather on the Yuuzhan Vong side of "mutilation for progress"

Humanity gets a little droll and insipid at times. As long as I don't turn into Judge Death, who gives a crap about trivialities like "equality". That'd be my subjective opinion. But you could probably have figured that out from my name. Or the fact that this is my first post here.
Objectively, on the other hand...
Society should not become a parasitic force, and when thoughts of equality start dragging us down in terms of independence, it's probably time to reassess our priorities between antiquated morality and plain old improvement on the physical level. Look at how fragile and reliant on technology humans are, for instance. Look at our tendencies toward reliance on a stable economy for food, shelter, and physical health. Would it be a terrible thing to continue this way, when we could augment what humans are capable of? What a human can be? Must we always delude ourselves with self-spun tales of perfection and providence, when already, many creatures of nature excel beyond our capabilities?
On the flip side, we should probably beware the temptation of "Master Race" mentality, in our strides toward physical improvement. People should not think of the betterment of others in their own sense, as Hitler did. People each improve in their own unique way, not by some group standard.
Lastly, we should resist the temptation to fear monger, when it comes to this sort of thought. Mind me for meandering with this last sentiment, I know this is getting a bit deep for the simplicity of the question of the thread... but as we founded the New World by overcoming a fear of the World's Edge, there are new and promising prospects that are guarded by similar fears and superstitions--ones we stagnate in, believing that they are protecting us from an apocalyptic future.
We've already predicted our own end many times already--if we're going to put our futures out of our own hands, then what hope do we have as a species? Let's look toward positive outcomes of our endeavors. Was it heresy when man learned to smelt iron, to right buildings, to take nature's things and reshape them into something more? Whether there is a creator or not, I somehow doubt he overlooked our potential to shape ourselves as well. Best we learn to do so respectfully, and become something more beautiful.
I personally want beautiful fox's fur, and their acute hearing and sense of smell. There are sacrifices I'd make for that. They should be mine to make.
