Calling all furry scientists

[drakewithout]

a biodesined symbiotic life form that acted as a second skin and restructured dna, (much like a virus dose, but in stead of self replicating it would just insert new code) much like a second skin, it wold have to be liked to your metabolism to start with, and there are morality issue.

actually that would be a good way of doing it however the virus would need to mutate nearly every cell and it would have to be able to change the skeletal structure to achieve its full goal so it would need to create new bones which would be an issue


you are right their will be a lot of moral issues but at the end of the day it is down to the person

skeletal alteration would be best done by causeing the virus to secret a calcium leaching compound, then aplyng pressure to break and regrow certain structures,

its the senses that i think would pose the greatest challenge, as canines alone devote a third of their brains to smell

you could keep the scenes the same as we wont need to enhance them you would just need to elongate the nose in some cases to create a snout and also the process for feeling is well understood so if you keep the central nervous system the same and create the tail not as an elongation of it but as a joint to it kind of like fingers you could create feeling in their the eyes might be quite difficult it you really want them to change as changing the colour of the iris would be relatively difficult and also youd have to keep them the same shape otherwise the focal point of the lense will eather far too far back for the retina creating a distorted image or too short for the retina to see a clear image this can be fixed with glasses of contact lenses however this would just be inconvenient as each one would need to be tailor made for each person due to abnormal sizes

[drakewithout]

i think it would be more prcatical to amputate and replace the limbs, that should be possible in most cases

[Karric]

that could be possible but what yove gotta remember is that the limbs would have to be lab grown and we have made a lab grown burger and to keep that healthy it cost £250,000 and thats just one small burger just the mat without neurons or muscle or any of that so it would be a case of only the super rich could have it done

[drakewithout]

i meant mechanical limbs, with  faou fur and silicon covering

[Karric]

actually that isnt a bad idea because you could use a materiel called graphene witch is 1 atom thick to put a coating over the silicone skin making at a lot stronger and we could wire it up as it is conductive so the person could have feeling which people are actually working on doing with real mechanical limbs so its not that far fetched that

[drakewithout]

maybe some hard core facial reconstruction for the face bit

[Karric]

and a skin graft for the chest providing no infections occur i cant think of a problem
obviously this would require[size=78%] some of the best engineers to work on it but yeah [/size]

[Eesha]

I hope you all are billionaires, because it will not just an arm 


That's some hardcores solution but yeah, it might work in a near future, maybe 10 years.

[Karric]

yeah but still we whir not given a budget but it is possible for it to happen in our lifetime


so yeah it is possible to answer the question but moral is down to personal opinion

i think it would be more prcatical to amputate and replace the limbs, that should be possible in most cases

I bet that would be extremely expensive... You could say, it might cost an arm and a leg 

Being more serious, I wouldn't find it to be worth the cost if I was receiving mechanical limbs. I'd much prefer living cells.

while that is true like i said erlier it cost £250,000 to grow a burger without any neurons, muscles or any other complex structure like that

Gamma Genesplicing is a dangerous concept but possible, if you can change DNA directly, you can do anything and Genesplicing maybe the way to go.

So let me tell you how everyone became furries in my sonas universe its as close as it can get to what i am suggesting

A great nuclear war wiped out humanity and also the entire planet, though radiation transformed animals, immune to Gamma radiation and more brain capacity then humans ever had

[Eesha]

Well, radiation can't do that unfortunatly 
But I'm interessed in the gamma Genesplicing, I've never heard about it, could you explain what you know about it or I must find my friend google and ask him ?

[Taliaka Anichezachi]

Its pretty much just a scientific theory try googling it and see what you come up with
