That's not tampering with human beings and humans were what CL was referring to.

But what if the horse people are super smart and can control the brains of normal people.  I don't want one of these things as an overlord.  Bad enough to have the orangutan mutant in that position.

In all seriousness I think creating half animal half human people is unethical because it's grossly unfair on the half animal half human people. With emphasis on the grossly.

As far as I am concerned, humans are already animals so introducing more animalism is pointless, I'd much rather prefer humans merging with machines, that is where true future lies.

I agree.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I mean even if they can function normally.... let's say we make 6 of them. Talk about an oppressed minority that didn't have to be created!

The rest of the world would treat them like they're part of a freak show. Cameras everywhere. Those poor poor dog/horse/crocodile/chimp/whatever people.

That's because he was an amateur (and working with 19th century technology).

I invented a creature that's half orang-utan, half excrement.  Now it's the American president.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
