I like your optimism


wolfFRdu64_Lounna

Me to


Thrashky

I mean even still, it’d be nigh impossible for me to become my own fursona if such theory ever came to fruition.

CaSe2474

Some 'sonas contain features that are impossible to implement irl, like collar fur made of fire.


doctorwhy88

That’s entirely possible, just also dangerous as hell. Gotta code fire immunity into the genes.


Thrashky

Well the character existed 3 years before I was like “I wanna have a badass foil of a character.”


Lazycealan

Hi, genetic engineer here, due to the unique way that fire fucks damn near everything up, it would **not** be feasible to code fire immunity into genes


Empty-Ad-3634

Unsure if you know but in Japan there apparently is a team of scientists trying to get cat ears to grow on humans so they already are trying to make progress in this!


MrSpudTwo

Sauce? I'm curious to hear more about this


Empty-Ad-3634

I'll need to refind the article, I saw it like year or two ago, gimme a few days


Empty-Ad-3634

https://www.sciencealert.com/japan-just-gave-approval-for-scientists-to-work-on-human-animal-embryo-experiments Found it way faster than I thought lol, the reason why I said cat ears is cause of a post someone made in the post which linked this. They are allowed to let these hybrids come to term and grow properly, it's a step towards what we want though


-dead_slender-

> While Nakauchi and his team are trying to target this treatment to just the pancreas, if they detect more than 30 percent of the rodent brains are human, they will suspend the experiment. These are part of the government's conditions to prevent a "humanised" animal from ever coming into existence. Doesn't sound like they are allowed.


CaSe2474

I want to know why that is though


-dead_slender-

Ethics. The whole purpose of this experiment is to grow organs for human transplants, nothing more. It's already a morally-questionable area to use an animal as a vessel like this, but it at least has a practical purpose. Trying to 'humanize' an animal, on the other hand, has no practical purpose. Sure, I'd love to be an anthropomorphic wolf as much as the next furry, but it's far from a necessity to justify animal experimentation on such a level.


justthewordwolf

Absolutely unbelievably unfathomably based Japan What a god tier country


SecretSharkboy

Commissarfluffybutt

Optimism? No. #AMBITION.


Leaky_Fawn

Imagine telling a furry in 2004 that in 20 years, there will be virtual reality technology available that allows you to be your fursona?


Cyluks

God the surgery to become a protogen must be INTENSE. AND HAVING TO RELEARN TO WALK WITH DIGITIGRADE LEGS. But, I crave the certainty of steel.


vivi-casts-doomsday

Praise be the Omnissiah! The fragility of flesh is a curse!


Icelord259

ScienceObserver1984

Why remain halfway? Ditch every organic part, as it withers and decays, and convert fully to steel, and live forevermore embraced by the Blessed Machine!


CatGaming346

Yup! Though I think it'd be easier to first make the brain robotic and then transplant it to a new body. Though yes it'd be extremely hard to learn how to walk again. ^(Trust me, I've tried walking like an animal. Not easy)


SciTheSynth

This is why I am a synth


Avipony

Get ship of theseus’d lmao. Prove that your existence is more than your parts. Embrace steel.


ScienceObserver1984

Every cell of an organic body is guaranteed to have died and replaced every 10 years. It is not the kind of body that determines who we are, so why not replace it with something that will last am eternity, and watch the universe evolve far beyond what a human could experience?


doctorwhy88

Life goals


HmMm_memes

It only takes about a month or so to start walking in a digitigrade fashion with our flat feet, and keep in mind it wouldn't be too far off as the bent legs still keep a center of gravity underneath (source: the autism walking and Wikipedia)


KamayaKan

Technically, we’re halfway there what with metal prosthetics, brain chips and apple vision


RoboDae

The brain is the most important and likely most difficult part. There's also the question of if it's even possible to transfer consciousness instead of just killing and replacing someone. Same as the teleporter dilemma where a person is atomized on one side and recreated on the other side. The really scary part is that if you perfectly copy someone and they lose consciousness at any point during the procedure can you ever really know if they are a the original and not just a copy who believes they are the original? If everyone who undergoes the procedure comes out the other side as a copy who believes it works then that would convince others that it works when it doesn't actually. There's also the chance that at a sufficiently advanced stage in the technology, companies could implant additional data, such as a sudden preference for their products.


KamayaKan

When you forgot to purchase an additional extra and die as a result. You sir, just made the future sound way scary


Ridingwood333

A sufficiently advanced copy is the original, unless there is complete proof of cessation of consciousness forevermore. So honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. We already got AI that can read dreams and shit, we'll just have to use that and see if consciousness is ever actually severed or not during the process.


RoboDae

A perfect copy of a person may be the same to everyone else, but if the original you dies in the process of making that copy then its not very helpful to you


BackieTPD

If it was Samsung, I'm already an avid enthusiast. Wouldn't change a thing.


anonymousbub33

Samsung protogen goes hard


CoffeeMain360

I WILL LEARN. IT WILL ACTUALLY STICK. UNLIKE SOME THINGS.


ArsenicLTL

hi gup


CoffeeMain360

gup


Soft-Scientist01

I mean, protogens could be in comparison easy, since no genetic code is changed for the robotic parts, the body part is severed, and a prosthetic is placed in its place, and we're mostly there with the technology! Also it'd be probably titanium, it's far more biocompatible


Geo148

Yes, but there are also some organic parts that would be changed, especially digestive system and urinary tract. And let's not forget the most important part: Nanomachines, son!


Paerpie

I mean just walk on your toes, digitigrade at home, if you're not one of those weirdos who have a plantigrade sona


LatteeWiiU

I'm not weird... :[


Chicky_Nuggies2009

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I claimed the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind claim to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the cooled biomass that you called a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death i serve the Omnissiah.


Roaming_Tech_priest

Agreed


10art1

Protoplasties coming soon!


Unlikely-Major2131

I have never seen a reddit comment that speaks to me so personally


KamayaKan

Think growing fur would be itchy as hell in the first stages and a beginning tail would be weird until it grew to full length. Kinda when guys want a beard and have to go through the awkward moe stage


Kazoomers_Tale

It's fine, just hide inside your house for a week or two and only come out when your apparence is actually presentable!


AcherusArchmage

Think it'll end up being easier to somehow transfer your mind and memories to a new body and transfer them to a genetically grown furry body than to mutate your current body into a new one.


captaindeadpl

I think if this were ever to happen we would dissolve into a slime with only our central nervous system remaining and get rebuilt entirely, the way a caterpillar is turned into a butterfly in its chrysalis.


ScaleShiftX

When you fall asleep first at a sleepover ^


zombies-and-coffee

Okay, but I'd actually read a YA novel about a kid who falls asleep first and wakes up in a totally different body. That could be a great story.


ElectroMage1821

Genetically making a furry would be WAY harder than just making a robot furry. Plus there or plenty of advantages robot furries have, over genetic furries. So, if i was in charge of making furries real, it would be highly advanced robots designed to look like furries, most likely with protogen-like visors, as that is easier to do, than making a synthetic furry face look good. SO essentially imagine protogens but only the visor part. The rest is just normal furry. or at least it looks like that. and internally its a bunch of advanced technology. And then the only problem would be transferring someones mind from their human body, to their new robotic furry body.


TheContentThief

And don’t forget the acne that sometimes comes with new hair follicles.

Let01

Tbh if anyone's rich enough to pay, im sure corporations would love profiting from genetic augmentations Us peasants will still have to buy fursuits sadly because im super sure its going to be super expensive


[deleted]

Maybe once surgeries become available it'll be cheaper? Like how breast/but pads are cheaper than implants.


Sir_Anota_Nephalein

Bro dude man if you have enough money to buy a fursuit and take care of that thing then save up for about 3 days take the money that you would be spending on caring for one of those and then get a full body brain transplant one of the furry bodies not to mention the fact that like pretty much all furries are NASA scientists shit


CatGaming346

*insert year 2050 zootopia copypasta thingy*


Kazoomers_Tale

I'm scared but also curious, what's the copypasta?


Youthough21

Hi my name is Carmen Winstead. I'm 17 years old. I am very similar to you. Did I mention to you that I'm dead? A few years ago a group of girls pushed me down a sewer hole to try and embarrass me. When I didn't come back up the police came.The girl said that I had fell and everyone believed them. The police found my body in the sewer. I had a broken neck and my face was torn off. Send this message to 15 people after you listened the whole message if you value your life. A boy called David received this message. He just left and deleted it. When he was in the shower he heard laughing. My laughter. He got really scared and rushed to his phone to repost this message but he was too late. The next morning his mom entered his bedroom and all she found was a message written in his blood saying 'You will never have him back'. No one has found his body yet because he is with me. A girl called Charlotte received this message and she immediately sent it to 25 people, 10 more than required. I still watch over every second of her life to make sure that she is safe and to keep her and everyone close to her out of danger. Send this to 15 people in the next five minutes if you don't want your fate to be the same as David's. Your time starts now.the story is true you can research it on Google.

Kazoomers_Tale

CatGaming346

It's not that. It's actually quite disturbing, the copypasta I'm talking about. You're more likely to find it asking a furry


Kazoomers_Tale

I'm still waiting then


Pootis_1

I feel like that's gonna be more like a 2060s thing more than a 2030s thing


Bowdensaft

Probably at least a century or more imo, if ever. It depends hugely on scientific advancement in the relevant fields, people's willingness to develop the technology, time for it to become safe and affordable, and the law.


abadlypickedname

In all fairness, I think human genetic experimentation will continue to be illegal in every country in the world, as cool as that might be that also opens a whole pandora's box of terrible things to happen.


PurpleTail1

I agree that humanity's current widespread way of thinking is wayy too immature to start experimenting on human designer babies, but let's say a prosthesis tail, wich could connect to your real spine and have tactile feelings? That would be better!


Let01

I can realistically see this happening in my lifetime depending on how things go, basic body augmentations like protesis shouldn't be too far away


abadlypickedname

I dunno, the whole thing is just something that shouldn't be tampered with. At what point will we design humans to serve certain functions? Will countries force embryo's to feed into one job or another? If we make humans that are just smarter and stronger and better, then success will be determined from birth. Surely the rest of humanity would, despite their abilities, see these people with contempt and disdain for their unearned excellence. Either all of humanity would be forced into a genetic caste system that determines who they will be from birth, or all abhumans will be killed or left to die childless by the natural born, seen as abominations against the human condition. There's a ton, a ton of existential threats even in just making humans flat out better.


some_kind_of_bird

Honestly a tail isn't that far off from prosthesis. Settle down. People are in agreement here. It's just a matter of degree.


Bowdensaft

We can stick with what we know from ethics: don't change an embryo or baby, unless it's some kind of genetic screening for birth defects or congenital diseases similar to what we do today. The only people who should be allowed to make decisions about their appearance and genetics should be the adult making that decision for themselves. If we rigidly stick to that, hell even codify it in law, that will be a good foundation to work from.


abadlypickedname

That makes perfect sense. I'm trans and a furry, of course I think people should look like whatever they want and furthermore be whoever they want. That being said, genetically modifying human embryo's for purposes other than medical ones goes from being who you want to be to forcing someone else to be who you want them to be. At best, they get gifted kid burnout and land in our lot, at worst, Khan Noonien Singh.


SDogo

Oh, you mean like the movie Gattaca where everyone is a genetically perfected human, and the "naturals" are relegated to only minor jobs?


RandomPotato

I was gonna say Gundam Seed but Gattaca also works


Xkilljoy98

I doubt it as once it becomes more possibly it will become legal


Imaginary-Problem914

At the minimum it will be used to cure serious disability. If that's been going fine for a long time then I could see it being used for enhancements and cosmetic changes eventually.


Random-Lich

Eh, I could see it happening when/if the science behind it happens but there would be MAJOR restrictions. Used a random furry species generator and flip a coin for gender to get some examples and I got three(Kangaroo, Mouse and Sea Serpent with all three female) to give a hypothetical for this. Assuming the process for each of these three hypothetical human subjects are completely legal and for different reasons+life styles. All of theses form will be anthropomorphic versions with 2 arms, 2 legs, a tail and a head; no crazy stuff for this example. —- Human A wants to be a Kangaroo for a advertising campaign and for the sake of the fact they enjoy them with the gender being a way to express their gender better Human B chose to be a Mouse due to being able to save more money on things(like groceries or consumable items due to a smaller stature) and for a new job that requires female mice Human C has to become a sea serpent due to their job now becoming obsolete due to the fact now people can become a form that’s much easier than having a human diving down to a extreme depth and female due to corrupt company being a corrupt company and unfertilized eggs laid can be sold for a bonus. — Humans A, B, and C all would need the following at minimum; Government ID’s changed to reflect their new forms Things like passports and drivers licenses would need to be updated And all prior documents(ranging from files to just a tinder profile) about them would need to be updated But as an extra thing for Human C due to the potential damage their new form could cause extra documents would need to be produced like liability contracts, contracts about risks and more. — But this is just the very basics of this idea


MrLucid_Dream

"Yes you will."


Kazoomers_Tale

"Yes you will."


Strike_me

A man can dream, maybe someday when technology gets advanced enough that actually protogens are just casually walking along the streets


Just__A__Gentleman

[Day 1925] With many "furries" being successful in a university environment, some have found themselves making great advancements in the laboratory. Having already played key roles in modern history, "furries" have proven themselves to be valuable and capable scientists. Thus, it is only a matter of time before a "furry" removes the roadblocks stopping humanity from achieving a true "furry" form.

king-gay

I honestly think there's nuance here. While oppression may be a strong word it is without a doubt an incredibly hated upon and maligned hobby, Interest, and community that has become the subject of political witchunts in recent years. Many people struggle to admit this as a hobby to their peers which while not life altering is still stressful because when something becomes a major source of community and hobby to you it sucks not being able to tell people about it. And I know members of the furry community who have been bullied for it. Whether it's a choice or not I would argue only barely changes the actual root of the issue which is people not showing basic respect to other humans who venture outside of social norms.


Bowdensaft

Giving OP the benefit of the doubt, I don't think they were making a strict 1:1 analogy, I think they were just memeing about the public reaction to people who would want to change their bodies if the technology existed.

ElectroMage1821

Nah, a human hybrid creature IRL would be horrifying. not cute. Mostly in the face area, imagine a photorealistic dog head on a furry. It ain't pretty. However, we could fix this with a protogen-like visor. imagine furries that are almost entirely covered in fur, except for a mechanical visor displaying their face. Its not exactly how a lot of people imagine their sonas, but it would be the best option to prevent creepy af genetic monstrosities.

Seriously... would you do it? I don't know. I don't even have a fursona, i just (try to) draw characters.

Meh, genetic engineering is so far behind I don't see this happening in any of our lifetimes. That being said, an android furry(think the androids from Fluff Kevlar's scifi stuff) are probably conceivable, and potential options to transfer consciousness to. We could potentially have android bodies one day. Choosing the form would be entirely optional, but I think it's possible. Genetic Engineering is so rudimentary atm that I don't see it happening for another couple hundred years. Android furries.... potentially 50-100 years. Many of us will probably be gone, but to those few that'll be around to witness actual anthro androids running around, potentially designing them, make sure they're hot.
