$450,000 for a full anthro-lupine form? Do they take PayPal?

I guess it's time to tell everyone.

This site was put together by someone who thought that the ability to surgically create werewolves (as well as other things) would be cool. They did a lot of research, and made a pretty awesome site! When I first saw this, I thought it was real. I was impressed how far medical technology had come, or whatever.

But In short, the Morphic Wolf Thing isn't real. Sorry To dissapoint everyone!

PS:
1) The costs probably would be at least that if this were a real medical procedure. Multiple surgeries get expensive!

2) Going back to the tail issue, there have been humans born with tails! Here is a pic:

Crazy, eh?

That tail wouldn't look as nasty if it had cute fuzzy fur.

Human tails are the result of an elongated spine. I can't imagine that that child's tail will look any more appealing as an adult, but I can say that it probobly wont grow any longer. I wonder if there are sergical procedures for REMOVEING nasty skin tails like that one.

Rex Wolf · Post by **Rex Wolf** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 10:41 pm

Um...actually, the tail is a result of a defect in the genetics in the womb whereby those parts of the body that are only present in the womb are reabsorbed, such as webbing between fingers and toes, and the tail. The genetics for a tail (and fur by the way) are already present in all of us. There are portions of our genetic code that shut down those parts of our genetic code. That is how we evolve.

But...guess what that means...with the right motivation and money, you too can have such things...if you had a doctor do it while you were in the womb still...

Sorry to disappoint.

Oh, and by the way, I'm studying to be a vet, on the way to my PhD...I could do surgeries to attach tails and 'other things'...someday...

Do you want to be my friend?

Hey,

to the papa who didn't cut the kid's tail off!

If I had a tail when I was a kid, I can just imagine the playground repartee.
"Hey, fatso!"
"Ahh, you're just jealous 'cause I got a tail and you don't." <whap>

Silverclaw · Post by **Silverclaw** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 11:43 pm

A human tail wouldnt be a very lovely thing to be poking out of your pants though

Especially if ya cant even move it, just a dead lump hanging down your butt

The kid in that picture is worshiped as a god, literly, I believe. Somewhere in Asia.

Mkay, would I get a tail... hmmm. Unless I could sergically alter myself to look like a rabbit hybrid (fur, snout and all), THEN I would get my cottontail. I think any human with a tail would look nasty. Some of you think it would be cool, but you sure wont look very appealing to yourself naked or in a bathing suit.

outwarddoodles · Post by **outwarddoodles** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 2:58 pm

the kid was worshipped as a monkey god I beleive, he also have a turned foot and some sort of thing with one of his arms just like the monkey god it is beleived he is. Otherwise that 'tail' is just skin.

Dude...the whole tail thing is an awsome idea.
I actualy went to school three days in a row with a real fox tail hanging from the back of my belt...Got some nifty reactions. But if it was real...that'd be so much more fun!!
I would so get a wolf tail...blond colored, like my hair...or white, because i plan on bleaching my hair...^_^

I walk on my toes almost all the time...So...the Digigrade feet sound cool too...though I woulden't go for the full package because...big paw-hands would make drawing a pain...and you can't exactly talk with a wolf muzzle...XD

Will ye people try ta remember the T in digiTigrade?

Anyway, since the thread's already been resurrected, might as well continue on-topic. As so many others have said, I'd go for the full package; unsure if I'd bother with just one bit. When (no, not if

) all this becomes possible, I doubt it'll be through standard surgery; that just gets too complicated too quickly, costs a TON, and is impractical for myriads of other reasons. I'm predicting something similar to the much-discussed werewolf virus, except in a much less powerful/more controlled form: A biological modification system that would convince your body to rearrange/grow/absorb everything itself, or, perhaps some sort of nanobot system that'd do the same, except accelerating the process greatly, and providing the whole enhanced healing thing afterwards.

Check it out the "Morphic Wolf!" It's pretty cool.
Yeah, like that one's true. I'd imagine atleast having a professional website domain if that were so. Some nice pictures and posibly if this were true I'd imagine seeing some documentary on this, that much changing on a person's body is sure to get attention on the TV, and would defeintly be heard around for the fact they claim to have this patented.

Cool, but something is telling me 'hoax'. Despite that, is still a fun website and fun idea.

I allready sent a e-mail about the pics.

Lets see what they'll write back.

Don't misunderstand... I think it would be AWESOME to have a Tail.

...I just don't think I would let those guys give it to me. (pretending for a moment that this company was real).

If the technology exsited, I'd shop around and find another option. You know...learn as much as I could about what would be involved, what could go wrong, and then find the right person or group to do it for me.

...of course...if we are going to go into "what if"s, then I'd really prefer to have it GROW out of me, without surgical intervention, either by genetic or magical stimulation. ...even if the process took an entire year or more to complete itself.

Mmmmm Hmmmm...and what if the tail that grew wasn't exactly what you wanted? Then what?

What? Do you mean like disfugurement by genetic defect?...that would suck, but things like that happen. No use worrying about things you can't controll.

...or did you mean like, I wanted a Fox tail but got a monkey tail or a lions tail instead (or a Peacocks tail...)?

That would be...odd...

...and frustrating...

But I'm sure, if something bizarre like that happened, I would learn to love it anyway. (Unless it was like an ugly, lumpy rat's tail...then I would probobly have it cut off.)

As I said earlier on in this thread, I can't think of one good reason why I should have a tail, and a thousand reasons why I should not, but I am obsessed with the idea anyway.

I think it would be really...Groovy...

Right or wrong, sometimes I just feel like something should be there.

either/or

I was wondering what a human tail would look like if humans had a tail. Would it be covered with hair? Would it be long? Short? fluffy? thin? leathery? We probably have the genes within ourselves. Its just not turned on. If we did turn them on, the mystery of how humans would look with a tail would become reality.

The genes for each animal's tail is different. If it interacted with the human tail genes, you may not get the results you wanted.

vrikasatma · Post by **vrikasatma** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 2:43 am

I think it would depend. We know people who have hair on their backs, I imagine some would have hair all the way down to the tips of their tails, if they had them.

Otherwise, it'd probably be like people with chest hair — maybe sparse, maybe fine, maybe nothing at all.

It'd probably make social interaction more interesting. You'd have to learn how to control it so it doesn't give you away when you're lying, or trying to hide fear or anger. I bet we'd start taking cues from our dogs and cats.

Heh...I wonder what the tail would be doing if we was lying to someone.
