    Question If we could make man/animal hybrids...

    ...do you think it would be morally acceptable? (this is just an example that leads onto the greater question of..)

    ...where is the limit that you believe science should reach? Consider, hypothetically, that science has no bounds, we can make half man, half machine... mutant type people like you'd see in X-Men, androids like in IRobot, whatever you can think of, what's the limit? Why do you believe ________'s unacceptable but ________'s not?

    I think, if we could defeat aging, disease, famine, any naturalistic type death that most people die of today, we should, as I think it would probably lead to more scientific achievements. Imagine a scientist working for 9,000 years straight! I think there would be massive benefit to such advances.

    I think regeneration should be near the top of the list of goals. Some animals can do it, so we know it's possible. We should know how to regenerate amputated limbs by 2020.

    Cloning. Fuck yes, why the fuck not? A readily available storage of exact copies of all of your own healthy organs in case something on you goes to shit! GENIUS! "TAKE MY MONEY!"

    Space exploration. Inevitable.

    I really don't know where I would personally draw the line. Pretty much, if it can be done, do it. I'd like to see the limit.

    What's the absolute perfect human body that can be created? Wouldn't it be cool to know? Have some scientists get together and devise some system to determine which two people out of everyone on the planet have the best genes that correspond with human mortality, they sleep together and have a child, combining the best of the best, then a team of 500 people raise that 1 kid to be the absolute most intelligent, strong, healthy human the population has ever produced! That shit would be awesome!

    Jetpacks?! What!? Yes!

    The best. of. the. best. I see no real moral limit, I mean, unless you start creating some zombie type creatures that go against the collective benefit of mankind... That seems just counter productive...

    Also weapons, perhaps... No real need unless we have some outside thread that can't be reasoned with (the Borg, Romulans, etc..).

    What do you think?

    Clones, abortions, teleporting, seeing through ladies undergarments?

    The whole human/animal hybrid sounds great till you see them dancing at furry techno raves.....then you feel like Oppenheimer did when he made the first nuclear bomb. Some things should be left at ideas lol.

    *points at furry community*
    Raole Duke: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Screw trying to make the perfect body. We just gotta get brain transplants going.
    That and cloning. Clone a new body every 20 years then transplant your brain into it.

    Bam. Immortality.

    But if i had a choice to be half animal i'd pick anything that could fly.

    To the OP's question ... over a long-enough timeframe, the morality of available mods will be dictated by what works. cn

    Another cool thread idea! I'm with you on all points for this one. I saw a Nova recently where they were cloning human parts. Pad, this shit is happening NOW, I had no idea how fucking close we actually are to unlimited organs for everyone. They are building bio-scaffolds (out of bio-rubber, and also stripping cells off actual organs to reveal the natural amino acid scaffolding underneath), injecting them with the patient's own cells, and in a few days the new organ is ready for transplant with absolutely no fear of rejection because it's your own body's part. The coolest thing is that they printed a mouse heart with an ordinary ink-jet printer, and the fucker actually beats Are you fucking kidding me?! The head of this research says it won't be decades before these technologies are available to all, but years. Check out this link to the vid, and also look around this page for other related articles. We're close Pad, really close...

    Already been done over 4,000 years ago. Lots of stories and myths and more about half man half demon beings. Eygpt had more then their fair share.

    Bob has been providing us with intellectual evidence of Human x Toaster for a while now.
