What's that in 0:37 ?
As a designer of transformative gene editing systems, I can say that if given enough research funding and some time (but not as long as you might assume), we can actually do better than Arrkay says. For every potential problem, there are potential solutions.
Ok uhh for now ill stick to vrchat
Yessss
Make me an indigo hermaphrodite foxtaur, you god in a labcoat!
Edit: I just revisited this comment, and I can't not read it in a sassy John Oliver voice.
As someone who goes full Robot given half a chance
Yes yes i will whole heartedly believe you
The real difficult problem from what I know is stablizing the brain's hormonal pattern and keeping it both chemically stable and functional during the transformation, especially given entire new body parts mean altering the nervous system.
Which leaves a question: If your fursona was real, would it wear clothes?
Ummmmmm...
Yeah this question is better left unanswered, for the sanity of the both of us.
Depends on if genitals are gonna be involved... if not, then no. Preferably, in my case at least, I'd rather them not be...
@@FrostfireTheKannik yeah...
Just to be safe wear at least some clothes before the "transfurmation".
@@maximeleninja4029 Fair enough
Good question that depends on multiple factors the purpose of clothes is to cover up your junk and other parts that cannot be seen because of disgusting and also if it's cold or not and if you want to express yourself it depends on how thick your fur is and if it's in a really cold climates where it's freezing that maybe you need clothes but I am I don't know I can knit stuff
You guys should talk about the "freedom of form foundation" if it is not already planned as part of the video. They have people with PHDs working with them
You guys could possibly do that but I don't want to be a weird telekinesis powered white eyed 2 ft tall sentient ball of God damn politics in real life that would just be painful
What is that?

@Vargen Fjorton Now we're talking
@Vargen Fjorton Makes me remember that vergil line "this is power"
@Vargen Fjorton Shit man so that means my dad is real?
It's funny that you mentioned this is easier to do than figuring out anti aging tech when just a few days ago it came out that they were able to make mice younger. They showed off two mice that were the same age but one was old, gray and weak while the other looked young, healthy and had really thick black fur. They say it's not long until this is readily available for humans. The organs of the younger looking mouse were also much healthier too and in theory if your organs stay healthier then you should live longer in theory
They say this tech is around the corner, yes, but that doesn't mean it's true. Also, this didn't happen a few days ago. It's been a few years at least.
Welp, idk if i should ne scared of this or be happy about the anti aging thing
Anyone with a Klonoa pfp is immediately the best person ever.
@@inkchariot6147 agreed
Perhaps you're refering to yamanaka factors. Reversing them is promising but many of the mice did not survive. The problem is controlling the reversing process, as it affects some cells more than others.
I think connecting our brain to computer to become a furry in the vr with all the sensations simulated is a much closer goal.
Outgoing messages are moving along pretty well.
But I don't think we've made much progress in sending signals into the brain.
Doesn't mean we won't, and I thoroughly think we will far sooner than people think.
But it's going to come with its own bag of worms.
Hah man that's just too dystopian for me. Plus shit like vr chat exists already.
I do that too.
In vrchat I could finally actually boop the snoot and feel it.
@@generalfluffyproto but then what happens when you lose tracking and your arms instantly clip through your body
@@MasterLYT well most of what I think when that would happen is too sexual to post on yt
Bro is explaining the literal plot of changed
When there is a beta program, sign me up. If I die, then I at least die as someone who made future heckin cool.
As long as it doesn't affect the reproductive cells, in general it should be considered.... ethical enough. though like a person going through gender transition one would likely have to go through quite a bit of expensive therapy beforehand to make sure it is the right decision for them. Even so I imagine it would be hard to find professionals willing to perform the operations at first even if it was found to be 100% harmless physically. People just have hang-ups about things like body modification, even relatively minor ones. And we all know someone would try to look like a demon just to piss off the religious types. So you could expect lots of protests. There is also the social implications, many people already assume that furries are degenerates and perverts, making it obvious at a glance would make living a relatively normal life difficult until, and if, it became mainstream enough. Body purists would become an issue, Harassment would be a given.
I do imagine though that given enough time communities would likely develop, people do tend to cluster around like people and this would be no different. So neighborhoods of all transitioned people would be likely after just a few years. And then the ethics of if there are sizable enough communities that make up what amounts to a different racial group. Would it then be more ethical to let them genetically modify their sex cells so that their children look more like their community. At which point you start imprinting a new breeding population of modified people that brings up it's own host of issues.
Them we get into practical application. I'm sure the military would love to have a secret force of modified soldiers with any number of traits that are beneficial. Color changing skin, night vision, environment specific changes, enhanced senses. Could have a whole spec ops team that is specifically modified to be the best at their jobs. Very hush hush of course.
Would a post species transition person still be considered human legally? Like we give people of every race, skin color, sexuality, religious and economic background right. But those don't necessarily apply to people who aren't seen as human anymore.
The fashion industry would probably both love and hate it. Unique market to exploit at a higher profit margins for specially made cloths, of a population that would already be seen as wealthy enough to do body transformations. Infrastructure would likely have to change when there are enough people of vastly different body shapes. It really has quite a range of implications that one would have to sort through to figure out the logistics on it's net effect on society.
I love everything you poured into this comment. This is really cool to think about. Thank you.

@@andrewtodaro2874 shame that we already live in a dystopia, and it's not the cool cyberpunk one
This guy gets it. lmao then they'll be screeching about body shaming mid-transformation furries that look like absolute abominations 🤣
On god.
As a bio(chemical)engineer I could say that the molecular biology is a miraculous science in its own kind, but it can't make magic. So we cannot be an other animal, but our offspring could be if wouldn't be ethical aspects of gene engineering.
Yeah I've been hearing this for awhile. I guess once you've developed past a certain point it'd impossible to change ones physical traits through DNA manipulation? The video mentions use of viruses to change ones body also but I don't quite understand how the difference between that and gene editing works.
You underestimate the degree of necessity for some furries, therians and otherkin, and how much innovation and invention is going on already. Nobody is saying science has to stay static at the level it was at when you last studied.
@@DanFoxDavies THIS
I'm just starting a PhD involving a lot of bioinformatics and yeh, how little we understand and how complex life is at a molecular level is pretty overwhelming!
No need for magic, metamorphosis is possible, we know, because it exists in nature.
It’s happening, and I hope I will live long enough to experience it.
Me too. We can speed up the process by hyper studying biology
I too hope a lot that I'll still have a decent ammount of my time when it do be happening

@@desuretard8654 i was thinking the same thing. I think the comment was unnecessary and uncalled for
Well there’s certainly an endless number of willing test subjects to make becoming an anthro animal a reality. Now I’m wondering if anyone has already tried this..
in some deep underground lab it has probably happened a few times.
@@tigertiger530 would explain some of the unknown sightings of werewolves and such
Sign me up. I volunteer !
(insert katness everdeen picture of volunteering)
Ask the American prison system.
I’d like to be a test subject.
An interesting notion to consider is that of epigenetics: what if some of the mechanisms for changing your physiological development, are already present within human DNA, and just need the right additional support/stimulus to trigger (fur growth, etc)? If we're already genetically so similar to other creatures, maybe some of the groundwork's already been laid by evolution, for shapeshifting? It could explain some of the accounts of feral children looking a lot like wildlife when encountered. It makes more sense that our genome is flexible enough to make a few beneficial phenotypical changes to our bodies when we're under pressure to survive, than that our genomes' expressions are just locked rigidly in place like documents on a hard drive, anyway.
I mean, if we have latent epigenetic triggers for an assortment of diseases, it stands to reason that, perhaps there's also some for developing beneficial traits, as well, that we can discover and adapt to our own purposes?
Definitely the sort of topic I enjoy exploring.
Cant wait for the day scientists release this and suddenly theres cat people walking on the streets and a dog like guy serves you on a restaurant and then your boss turns into a really angry lion
That's something I want to see in the near future.
If you ever catch me turning down the option of sprouting a prehensile tail, assume I have been replaced with a clone.
If I would become my sona, I would make a selfie of myself and post it on a group chat with my friends with an "Only in Ohio" caption.
hope you don’t mind if I would do this too because it sounds hilarious
ah yes my favorite passtime turning all of the dutchies into horrifying squeaking demons
Oh it'd be such a toss up on what I'd want to transform myself into. Dragoness, Voluptuous Vixen, adorable red panda or even a floofy tailed skunk morph. So many moods. That said, I don't think it's something we'd see for a good long time due to a lot of factors. Getting cosmetic and gene altering therapy on this level would be tremendously expensive. I wouldn't want to be an early adopter of it due to not being sure how the proven the tech would be and finally, The social-political climate is so brutal. If people can't accept HUMANS for the pigment of their skin or culture and transitioning to the gender they identify with, can you imagine how some people would react to someone transitioning into an anthro? I just... I don't think it'd be a great time. But it's fun as hell to dream about it.
I would settle for tail and ear anamatronics that interfaced with my brain so when I'm wearing my fursuit, I could move those two things more realistically. Right now my plan is to get a Costail and maybe Cosears and build fursuit stuff to fit those things for myself (I'm a fursuit maker, I know what I'm signing up for lol).
Therians might like being able to try early trials of anthrompomophication though. Still, all the things that could go wrong make me worried.
That's why there's the text-based, interactive fiction game Welcome to Moreytown! It explores a lot of what you mentioned in this comment (at least, the second part, because the game is set after the fact, though I do hope it gets a sequel or a prequel soon). You play as a genetically-modified human-animal hybrid of your choosing, and it's just really cool. There isn't that much to it though, I will admit, and again, that's why I really hope we can get a sequel or prequel.. Lmao.
@cameroo Boomerang if you can’t decide then you should join me and lets be red pandas!
Yeah. I have seen other comments. But communities
Its going to be damn near free if you are one of the first test subjects..... .
This video came up at the right time in my life. A couple weeks ago, i started wondering about re-incarnating into my red panda fursona when I am like 80 and then living forever until the universe ends. Imagine how cool that would be
immortal doesnt mean invincible, you could still get killed by things
@@HazzyHazeI i know.
@@HazzyHazeI Of course, but i will still live longer in general. Let’s see how long I can go for. Probably a while if I live in the middle of nowhere
Oh,that's easy,isekai yourself and boom,you could reincarnate as your red panda fursona(unless you wanna do it like,later in this life)
@@guizintheinsect5022 later in life. Cause I probably won’t find out how to do this anytime soon
Very interesting, I'd imagine it could be something like Cyberpunks Exotics, vat grown tails, facial reconstruction to have a muzzle, fangs, pointed ears, fur, the ability to smell and hear 1000x better than a regular human you'd technically still be human, your DNA, genes are the same, but you wouldn't look human. I'd be fine with that, instead of painstakingly rewiting your entire DNA structure and biology. But we could become more then just human.
When I hear stories like this, I am reminded of fur named Dennis who tried to physically transform himself into an anthro tiger by means of tattooing on his face and body, filing down his teeth to cat like canines and wearing painful cat-like thick contact lenses. His life was not the wonderful thing he thought. He couldn't eat well due to his teeth, he was almost blind due to the contact lenses and due to his appearance, he was often shunned by regular society. He couldn't even find a job anywhere since his looks scared away any employer no matter the job. Finally alone and broke he took his own life. Think before you act is all I can think of concerning all of this.
This story sounds fake to me
Nvm it’s real
@@wotter66 no its real, but then again every adult should have the freedom to do what they want with their own bodies
@@shawnsmith8558 ok I think there should be a line though
There are also people who do all the right things and still end up with miserable lives.
Life is a lot of chaos.
But we can at least try to be careful and look twice before we leap.
Sign me the fuck up! I want to be my Tanuki self!
Okay I really thought that was pretty rare cuz no one picks of that but okay I'm talking about my friend on the internet or more like an acquaintance
You planning to get a pair of comedically large testicles in the process?
On the last claim, that a furry transformative therapy could be a stepping stone to immortality, in theory, especially if you begin when still relatively young, one way to do that now would be to use a CRISPR modification to extend your cells' telomeres, doing nothing else. This would prevent premature cellular damage from duplication errors. It might not reverse aging perse, but it would stave off one form of aging, and would at the very least afford you enhanced longevity.
Extending your telomeres is not difficult. You can just upregulate telomerase activity. However extending telomeres (just like any in vivo crispr use) is likely to cause off-site mutations. A mutation in NOX gene + a little bit of immune system inactivity and you would die from metastasizing cancer. Using any enzyme that cuts or extends DNA in any way is a sure way to die.
What should be done instead is: putting healthy cells that were modified in the lab into the body and then killing the cells that aren't modified with immunotherapy. You could for instance put a cell with 5 copies tumor suppresor genes, which would make you practically immune to cancer. Other aging processes could be combated similarily.
I wonder how quickly can we make horrors beyond our imagination
you know someone's gonna use it like a mad scientist and or villain and make genetically engineered super soldiers or something like that.
hope that doesn't happen, though.

@@_marshP metal gear solid is basically that

Fox news headline: the key to immortality will be through the furry fandom
I’ve been cataloguing ways of creating a specific method of transformation, for about a year now, and I have gone into a rabbit hole right now.
I find a certain concern with this: although growing hair like this seems possible, growing a snout or a tail seems much more difficult because it would require a change in bone structure. I am not sure if there is a way to do this because I don’t know if you can not only grow bones for a snout but also muscles there such as a tongue or cheek, skin along it, and also add hair there.
Well consider this, certain animals can regrow their limbs, or completely metamorphosize into something else entirely.
There's precedence for this kind of thing, even if it's not really in our grasp at the moment.
@@kamikeserpentail3778 perhaps, although I still am unsure considering many who can change or regrow their bodies aren’t vertebrates
@@randomunovafan2787 For instance antlers regrow. That means: mammalian bone, skin, nerves and blood vessels. The problem is that buck has the genetic framework for this and we don't. Changing the blueprint for a house is useless if you don't have the instructions on how to rebuild it.
@@wiczus6102 Oh, I completely forgot about that! I still think the formation of a muzzle would be difficult to do because it would involve such a drastic change, but I see how that could help a lot!
@@wiczus6102well, I think the approach is to change the blueprint within a cell. The cell then knows how to reproduce itself.
I think the issue is you would have to do that with multiple types of cells simultaneously, in such a way that they then all produce in the desired manner.
this must be studied more, ik there's some furry scientists out there
We will need AI to guide us, to create the perfect furry, we need an AI of some kind and current furry scientists to work together.
The fact that this video exists, and that I’m watching it, was enough to almost make me laugh audibly. I don’t know why that was my response, but it was, so I’m sharing it.
Pretty interesting!
In a few episodes, yall should really cover if the science of Changed is actually possible.
I feel like the realm of minor changes such as growing Neko ears, or a tail is more likely to become common than a full transformation simply from a practical standpoint.
Maybe it'll be the thing angsty teenagers do in 2080 to piss off their parents as an act of rebellion. Like how they get a tattoo or piercings today.
Well, on the one hand, it's an interesting idea. Wouldn't mind having a tail, ears and some animal features. Also some instincts would be nice, e.g. faster reaction time like squirrels. But knowing people, they take it a step further and turn into full animals without changing their minds. As tempting as that sounds, I definitely wouldn't want that, because animals are sort of my safe space. I don't want to lose trust in animals
And I'm a bit frustrated humans can't view other humans the way they sometimes view animals.
The faster reaction time part depends on size. Doubt it'd work so well on humans. Optimistically, with perfectly optimized genetics, you could maybe engineer people who casually achieve the performance of olympic-level athletes while living the lifestyle of the laziest couch potato. A worthy goal indeed.
3:37 literally just the plot of Changed
Furries are not realistically viable. In real life, Physics and the Ecosystem break us down into what would essentially be disabled people.
Fur would make it harder to exist anywhere warm, and the ability to sweat would become quite the obstacle. One way to avoid that is simply to revert back to panting, but that comes with it's own problems.
Tails are... difficult. In normal animals, the tail acts as tool for balancing. There's a reason why most bipedal animals don't have it anymore. All the bipedal animals that *do* have tails also come with horizontal bodies, essentially just being quadrupedal again, except they can use their "hands" for stuff that isn't walking.
Digitigrade legs are just. No. You'd be so tired. Digitigrade legs were made by Evolution to be ideally for quadrupedal creatures. A bipedal creature with digitigrade legs would be like if you tiptoed everywhere.
Also, it would uh make even more people into antifurs, and since it was just a conflict of interest before, I think we can expect more terrorism and discrimination if we extended it to our physical bodies.
It would be cool as heck if we can find a way to make any of this work, though.
Really, the most viable way to "become your fursona in real life" (other than a fursuit) is to abandon real life. Get back in the vr pod.
While there are valid concerns, I don't think "you might be discriminated against" is one of them.
People dye their hair, get tattoos, wear certain kinds of clothes, all knowing that there will be haters out there.
You can't let the world control every possible decision you could make.
We get rid of the haters by making their opinions extremely unpopular until they fade away.
RIP to all people that have dog fursonas although they're allergic to doggos
Because of time zones I won’t be awake for this. I can hardly wait to watch the vod!!
One problem with modifying your anatomy (muzzle, tail, ears) is that once you're done growing, those things don't generate anymore. For example, we have genes for arms and legs. But once you lose those, you don't get em' back. That's basically the issue for most of your organs (liver has limited regenerative capabilities). You might have the genes to turn into a furry, but you probably wouldn't feel any effects other than hormonal changes due to different proteins getting expressed. One way we might be able to get around needing to inject dna into a developing fetus to get more significant morphological changes is possibly looking at how lizards, flatworms, and other organisms regrow parts of themselves. If you could trick your body into thinking there is a missing part it needs to regenerate, there's hypothetically no limit to what we could add to our body.
Of course, we're entirely assuming we have enough of a grasp of DNA to do stuff like that. Admittedly, AIs might help in this regard. But, figuring out how DNA works is ridiculously complex and hard. For example, we've barely scratched the surface of the genetic code of model organisms like drosophila and the mustard plant (used in plant biology), despite them being the absolute major focus for large portions of scientific genetic studies. And these are relatively simple and easy-to-manipulate organisms. Scale that up to something as complex as a fox or us... Well, we need a different way to approach genotype-phenotype matching that's a lot more rapid and doesn't need to wait a few generations of crosses to figure out. Wheeee... It's a challenge.
I'm pining my hopes on full immersion vr. All the benefits of being your fursona in whatever style you like, without the anatomical issues that might restrain how you actually end up looking like and removing all the difficulty of understanding genetics enough to get the results you want. I suspect by the time our technology gets to a point where we can bioengineer people into furries, the ease, convenience, and versatility of not having to conform to physics and switching up a form with a click of a button with virtual reality will likely render the process moot.
The main reason for this is that eukaryotic genomes are genetic hell compared to a prokaryote genome.
While it's fun to think about it I think we kind of ignore the main problem. DNA is blueprint. If your bones, skin, nerves already grew changing DNA will not change them. What you would have to do is to grow the tissues with modified DNA and graft them. Which would be as horrifying as it sounds.
Couldn't you just tell your body to start growing again but with the new blueprint?
@@quest9905 Your DNA codes for some properties of your body. Many properties do not come directly from genes but from the interaction between direct properties, environment and during transitive states in development. Growth relies on that. If the context of growth is drastically different it just wont work.
What I mean is the genes that let a lizard regrow its tail will not work the same in the human body.
@@wiczus6102 perhaps it could be done with the right mixture of hormones and other compounds though. There's still Much to learn!
Thank you for all the helpful notes of making another species for me to learn about.
Just saying but you don’t need a virus to do this, all you need are Nanobots and you could in theory become both immortal and a furry.
I hope we get this before I die. This would be really cool
Damn, I wanna become the patient zero for a furry virus now
So... if you need a volunteer for trials. . .
Same
Same
What if we like 3D print the desired fursona body and inject some of our stem cells or whatever and transplant the brains into it, and because we printed the body we can make it not attack the brain?
You'd need to figure out the brain transplant first, and that means finding a way to reliably connect complex nerves. Your idea is workable in a very theoretical sense, but just developing the prerequisite techniques would give your laboratory enough Nobel prizes to use them as doorstops.
Interesting, always find it entertaining and intriguing when people look at something from a scientific standpoint and explain it.
As someone in the military, I sometimes wonder what it would feel like if some 8 foot tall ware wolf looking dude just bust through an enemy camp tearing through everyone. Rockin an M60 with one hand and then being able to go full wildebeest on a dude would be sick as hell.
yesss, werewolf squad!!
I'm worried that this will end out terribly to the people involved. Like this would result in some Unforeseen Consequences
Scientific Progress Goes 'BOINK'...
Of course it would. Even just being hot in what used to be comfortable weather, or having trouble sitting in normal chairs, over stimulation from enhanced senses, or chocolate suddenly becoming toxic are things that might not think about before it is brought up to them.
Then you add in any number of things we couldn't have seen coming.
I'd still consider it.
_Gordon doesn't need to hear all this! He's a highly trained professional!_
BNA could happen irl anytime soon
There's also the concern of the pain that result in this type of transformation, a sort of idea that requires careful monitoring and frequent care. Of course, there's also dietary needs that will need to be met. Certain animals con only eat certain things, though this can be removed altogether, it would also be the type of thing that requires people to take a portion of their lives to truly adapt to, and learn. Of course, there would also be alterations of muscles, and even requiring to learn how to naturally use them. Essentially, you may need to relearn how to walk, or say learn how to fly, or use a tail to balance.
As a therian who got the worse part of species dysphoria, I'm genuinely interested in any science that involves the possibility of altering the body. And my interests skyrocket when there is the topic of possibly physically altering the body into something more animal-like that wouldn't be an aesthetical disaster. I know that fooling around with that stuff can and will be a risky thing, and I've heared the horror stories of people who tried it surgically. But sometimes I'm at that stage of feeling unwell in my own body that I'd take anything, literally anything, to at least have it a tid-bit more like the species I identify as.
Also, considering that I'll never fully reach the ideal version of myself (strong physical alteration of the head would probably affect the brain and thus is out of question), having an anthropomorphic body would actually be a really good compromise between still being the person I am and caring for my desire to be more like the animal I see myself as.
Yes, I absolutely agree with this and it NEEDS to happen! If i can become what I was supposed to be; a Wolf then take my money, take everything, I want this "transformation" if you would, to happen!
First puberty: child to adult
Second puberty: male to female
Third puberty: human to werewolf
As a genologist i can confirm that those were true facts that can be proven.
I found a new and strange rabbit hole and I don't think I mind that all too much
I have some scientific criticisms. The presence of DNA alone isn't enough. DNA is closer to instruction sets or computer code, loading a toaster's firmware into a fridge will not make the fridge turn itself into a toaster. DNA is information, not incantation - it still needs the cellular machinery to run, so to speak. So spray-painting a vector over your skin won't get new hair to grow unless you can engineer genetic code that will tell the skin to plant more hair follicles in itself. But that's some good thinking though!
Well I already intend to go the brain transfer route route, Ghost in the Shell style, because in cyberspace I can change my form at will or do things impossible in the real world, could have multiple bodies, and possibly have a lot more resistance to dying.
Though I definitely loved the Batman Beyond Chimera Institute episode. Of course people want to do it. To wrestle control over our nature from the hands of uh, nature, and become more than what we are now.
I am also going the same route
Can't believe furries are the biggest fans of Gene editing technology.
But wouldn't my brain have to change if I wanted a tail/to move my ears?
That's a good point 😳
I'm pretty sure you guys can do that without using your brain I mean what's the purpose of having butt muscles and humans do you have ear muscles you just have to exercise them
@@kosmalaanimations2864 *facepalm*
Yes, flexing my buttocks is just like wagging a tail, how silly of me.
@@kosmalaanimations2864 the human brain is not designed to move foreign limbs. Moving a tail is not from butt muscles but from muscles within the tail. You would either need to train or probably upgrade your brain in a certain manner in order to perform motor movements it was never built for
@@readyredpanda127 ok
In response to the argument about passing the modifications down to your kids being unethical, I would say that such an argument could be flipped back around. We didn't ask to be born human, after all; and if we were happy being humans, we wouldn't be seeking out ways to alter our bodies, now would we?
Well, this is one of the most difficult and controversial ethical questions we have while we have to deal with such thing as "furry transformation"
Who knew that the key to endless life was being a furry
The egyptian gods maybe? I dunno
This could cure so much dysphoria for me, omg ;n;
With your channel name I was dreading it being one of those videos. But its really well researched and laid out. Very cool. Id go Cougar or Wolf myself...unless someone founded Ponyville. In that case its all hail the Princess. :)
OMG! Finally District 9 (movie 2009) it's happening! 😁
When it comes, I probably will just go on my day like nothing happen while having a lot of looks
3:35 *Changed* “Am I a joke to you!?”
Can we cure alzheimers and cancer first before we legit try to return to monkey? Cart before the horse is all I'm saying.
if this would work, would school bullies be body shaming someone for being an anthro animal?
This can turning red like the movie, but I gess can happening the same thing if you were gay or lesbian. 🙃
@@skiroviepcvr7792 im gonna be a lesbian hyena and bite any and all detractors, except it wont be kinky and they'll most likely die

You have to control yourself.😳

me: "no, I don't want to be furry IRL, having fur is hard"
also me: *watching this video*
This is a clickbait and I gladly fell for it
people who played changed: *hey i've seen this one before*
Either we end up creating furries IRL, or we create mutant abominations
what's the difference
My concern is that the world might not want to accommodate us as in some companies would not want to make chairs with holes in them to fit details or airline seats wouldn’t want to put holes in their seats for example
There is no way the world could accommodate everything.
We struggle to do it now, with left handed objects and lack of ramps and...god damned bathroom worries.
People will definitely have to assume the world won't accommodate for them and be careful in their choices.
The world definitely won’t want to change public infrastructure for such a small minority of people. Anthros might start creating their own societies
simple, carry a saw with us and cut holes in our own seats!
I am not exactly sure how I got here.
But I am intrigued.
From a purely scientific standpoint this is absolutely amazing
Yeah, makes sense considering we’re on the verge of making *dinosaurs*
I can manage the instinct part. The area of psychology can easily stretch there meaning no issues in regards to ethnics as only certain instincts can be implanted but also easily deactivated and removed with safety phrases and/ or words.
Moments before changed events happen IRL :
my theory to make existing people be able to do this, and reversibly too, is to effectively grow a brainless body that your brain would just get transplanted into, and if you want to go back, your original body can be preserved the same way the destination body was kept alive, and the transplant procedure can be reversed
Exactly what i was thinking. I like this idea. Something being reversible is so helpful cause if there is a mistake, we can just go back
me with a feral fursona: *struggles to open a door*
Yes, good. Let's recreate the Island of Dr. Monroe.
Ole Doc Monroe was turning animals into "humans" while this is about giving you the look of one. I for one would miss being able to chew my food without a muzzle, watch a dog or a wolf eat it's messy and in the wild pretty gross.
Idk if I'm a furry, we better not try this. All the ethical concerns and questions can't be ignored.
There's already a low-cost alternative:
. Get a large cardboard box
. Print 'TRANSMOGRIFIER' on it
. Write various species of your choice
. Climb in, and have your assistant* punch in a selected form...
BINGO! You're transmogrified!†
*Choice of assistant is important in this: lapses of attention (such as thinking of a tuna sandwich while punching in the form) can produce undesirable consequences.
†There is a more compact, 'ray-gun' version of the device; but it requires considerably more research, as well as sufficient box-tops to purchase the equipment... 7@=Q 👱🐯
Thank you strange lava lamp science person, I can't wait to have lizard flesh (oh god actually shedding sounds horrendous maybe I'll change my fursona to a catfish or something)
source for the lion transformation clip at 1:21?
A face transplant from lab-grown, modified cells could work. specifically bone. face transplants are already possible. Though the cranium and neck would have to stay the same size to not damage the brain, and how that would fit together is beyond me. this could make your head look oversized like a bobble head unless you also make the rest of the body bigger with limb extensions and expanding the rib cage, though I don't think the body could handle all those changes in the timespan of a normal human life.
Perhaps Humanity is ready
*Looks at latex vats*
I didn't think i would not be the only one who has transformation locked down
But here i see A fellow transformation scientist
District 9 is becoming real
cure cancer, world peace.
No, make me a imortal dragon
There will be almost immediate discrimination.
@@gabicampram9865 do not hate being human, we are spacebound, humans are strong.
i have a problem… a very, very big one.. ummm, so my main fursona is a cockroach and the other is an anodontosaurus. is this possible do do with chitin or scales?
I just had a thought, maybe if we managed to collect dinosaur DNA, we could actually see what dinosaurs actually looked like!
Ah yes, man made horrors beyond my comprehension.
Cool and interesting topic! Hope to see the next one soon. Aaaand hope you will put the text you're reading slightly more near the lens of the camera- you look a bit upwards too much :P
@0:37 what's the clip from?
I really feel like shifting hair to be a bit more like fur and making it grow in more places would need a pretty minimal amount of work, especially compared to bones or organs.
grrooww.. Bones. more.. more organs. make me into something that outlasts civilization, as an incarnate of the forest
@@theratgod8194 If theres an option to get more limbs I'll take it but it seems pretty unlikely overall.
"Ah sweet, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension."
just going to say on the topic of ethics and your kids not asking to be born furries... none of us were asked if we wanted to be born human so they will get over it just like we had to AND if they don't like it the hoops we jumped through will be there for them as well.
also shouldn't need to say what I wanna be my pfp speaks for himself X3
If this exists that means I can turn myself into a bioweapon
live your dream, be a bioweapon, darkvoid.
Bioweapons kill very fast
Plague inc. end of the game is what I will do. That means kill off all life on earth
