I would do it, no question. Superhuman abilities and the ability to become a real-life furry. Screw discrimination and hatred, worst comes to worst I threaten them with my shiny new wolf claws and teeth. In all reality there is no downside in that for me.
I'm going to steal thing and use it as my own answer.

And yes, wolf for me (as if you couldn't tell I would pick that, given my avatar)

This is sort of a comic book morality. It's like asking "Would you have laser vision if you had to wear your underwear outside your pants?"

In fact, it's not really a moral dilemma at all. There is no morality involved in a hairy face, it's a question of whether you value appearance or intelligence and physical strength.

No, not for me. I'm not perfect, but I enjoy who I am, and working within my own skill set, constantly trying to improve.

To use a game metaphor, cheats are fun, but the real enjoyment comes from mastering the game on hard.

Wow, quite pithy. Well said, Nudu!

It's a win-win for some, and out of the question for others, I suppose.

Between furries and ponies I dont know which I despise more........
Both should die to be fair

Especially the deviant side of furries...The ones that fact them sexy
Actually, anyone who finds cartoons sexy can die in my eyes
Real women are not hard to come by people :)
Some of us find flat-faced divas pretty boring, Anus. Especially when they make 'genuinely' nice girls feel a need to go bulimic to emulate their 'done-to-death' look. Just saying, would it be that 'bad' if there were alternatives to trying to cram every girl in that category? *goes back to looking at Krystal from Starfox*

Whoops, hypocrite me. ^^;

I'd do it. You get smarter, stronger, faster, PLUS a nice warm fur coat for winter? Yes. summer would suck (more) though. would it just give slight animal features, or full on reverse ankle type stuff. That would probably determine how much of it you take though..Hmmm.
Am I the only one who thinks that maintaining a fur coat would be massive pain? It would take for fucking ever to clean it. What you get motor oil on your self? Or gum? You'd have to shave it off.

I'm pretty sure that morality does have a significant say here. As people have mentioned before likely not everyone would take the serum which would lead to the altered thinking they are superior which would lead many to abuse their new found mental and physical prowess while there'd be plenty of humans that think the altered are now nothing more than mere beasts. Alot of people here are saying yes they would take the serum, but I doubt many of them have thought about how that'd affect their friends and family and how they would rectify such problems.

People that simply reject their friends and family would quickly find out that just because they became a furry doesn't mean the other furs are going to be all lovable. If there's multple serums then that result in different hybrids expect to see social friction along those lines as well. Not to mention their will be plenty who took the serum simply to garner more power though it'd probably make it easier on the police when they gun down a drug-ring run by wolf-men. Not to mention some might try to take the identity of ancient gods simply because they thought the name was cool. I'd bet there'd be about 1500 Anubis's running about.

As for me I likely wouldn't become one. yes I can see the perks, but unfortunately I was born human which means my preferred species is human.

I would do it in a heart beat. The combination of being super-smart and moderately strong(im not very strong in the first place, so according to your definition, i would only get a bit stronger) and also being able to become a furry would be awesome.

I'd probably do it, I never get the furryhate anyway. I mean, there are worse things than furries IMO.

I'd do it. Making myself smarter? Heck yes!

Why is it so great to be pure human anyways? Is there some kind of superiority complex? I mean, what if humans evolved?

Okay, let's take a similar example. Let's say there's an abnormaly large pink hat which makes you superintelligent. Some may be turned on by your abnormaly large pink hat and some may think you look silly, but "Would you take the extra intelligence even if it meant some people would think you look silly?" is not a moral dilemma. Obviously putting on the hat is not as drastict as permanently growing hair all over your body and adobting a facial structure which renders human speech impossible, but the moral weight is the same.

As for your last argument I don't even know how to respond. If someone told me "My back is hairy, you must worship me!" and started a drug dealing cult before getting shot by the police I wouldn't blame whatever made them smart.

As for whether such a serum would be immoral on the grounds that it widens the gap between rich and poor, with or without the extra hairgrowth, that's a much more interresting conversation. And I can see good arguments for and against that. On one hand, it reduces poor peoples chance to compete and to a larger extent reinforce social class. On the other hand, making rich people smarter is not the same as making poor people less smart, and more smart people would probably lead to a better world for all people in the long run, rich and poor.

Yes if only just for the tail, oh why oh why oh why do we not have tails :/
Tails would get in the way of everything. Get caught in things, make pants difficult, and be a general pest. Tails don't exactly work that well for bipedal creatures
