Calling all furry scientists

[Karric]

to me going off the name it sounds like it is gene splicing except instead of using enzymes to cut the genes you would use gamma radiation to do it

If possible, I'd just upload my brainwave data to an ideal Robot of my design. Perhaps in the image of Doctor Nefarious~

But if that won't work, like if my consciousness couldn't be transferred, then I'd settle for keeping my squishy little brain intact, but either moved inside of said Robot of my design, or I'd have my whole body except my brain replaced with mechanical parts!

Pfff... It's easy for you, just have an androïd, link your brain with it and poof ! Robot ! 
I still cost a lot, but you can sell your organs, since you will have mechanical ones

[Karric]

haha yeah i think a heart gets around £500,000 on the black market 

[Eesha]

I have Tor If you want me to search
Tor is awesome, it pierce through every securities on my school network 

[Karric]

yeah it would do the same for me it is pretty cool in the sense

Well... In my opinion, considering that just 30 years ago people didnt have color televisions. I think that we may live to see atleast the early stages of furr body mods. Ive had my heart set on getting real elf ears since I was little, but a full fur transformation I definitely couldnt resist.

In regards to modifications to ones body?

The technology is already here, stem cells and cybernetic augmentations, the problem is that the human brain would be overloaded with electrical signals.

Could the brain be enhanced with implants or something to make it be able to handle whatever is added onto the body?

3d bio printing already has you covered with that as we are starting to print kidneys so an ear would be easy 
(on a side note in a couple of years we will be able to creat living cells with 3d bio printing and we can download the genome of the ebola virus of the internet so download that put it into the printer and then their you go you can print yourself as much ebola as you like or whatever cellular virus you like that is kinda scary isnt it)

personally i think it can and we are doing it for some people as we have made people who have been blind all their life able to see for the first time and many other exciting innovations are happening and according to the american government their is a real life cyborg alive today his name is Neil Harbisson its quite interesting he can see colours that the normal human cannot because of an implant in his brain he could only see in black and white when he was born now he can see more colours than you and me

lol thats such a funny thought. *prints bubonic plague* ...oops 

[Karric]

haha   
while it may seem funny you could actually do that so in a couple of years we will literally be playing god   
am i the only one that loves this idea it might be because i want to be a physicist so i love innovation but come on its cool 


hear this video explain it better only the start bit is on 3d bio printing the rest is about the possibility of human extinction

Eh. If you're really feeling lucky, make a genetic clone of yourself, add the correct genes you need to be considered furry, if you wanna be ethical, make sure the brain doesnt develop but everything else does. Then, grow that furry clone of yourself and do a brain transplant. eZpZ. (I mean, only if you have billions of dollars. if not, good luck!)

Nanomachines, son.

_{Uugh, I'll probably make a more serious contribution to this discussion later. Just wanted to put that there, as I believe that's the key to achieving the trans-Humanist furry dream.}

Omg I just saw that and almost literally fell out of my chair

that is a good idea but connecting all the neurons would be a tremendously differ cult task an example is that the last head transplant which would e similar to a brain transplant technically it worked as it was done on a dog and the dog did survive though it only survived for 2 days till it died from an infection though this was done a long time ago and their have been plans to carry out a head transplant on a man soon soo if that works than yeah we are on our way to being able to do that

More like a brain transplant. Try putting the patient's brain inside a shell that is compatible with the immune system. Connect the brain stem to the backbone with a suitable neural interface. How it will be designed to make every neuron connect into place will take some time. Also you need a way to supply nutrients and oxygen to the brain.
Maybe that way the brain wont have clashes with the immune system. I would call this a "Brain in a case"
