Well, if it is going to be a matter of choice, I'd say no one can tell anyone what to do, however, there should be certain limits for the welfare of others that would have to live in society with possibly animalistically agressive people, with inhumane strength for example...but if all they want is to do is look and sound like a large cat and be a tiger in bed...so be it...
Thats what I was talking about I would be totally against this being done to a baby or anyone too young to make such a important choice on their own. But if the tech exist someday to do this as a adult through gene therapy or whatever I think they should be allowed.
You do make a excellent point about concerns for the welfare and saftey of other people. You couldnt very well have someone spliced with so much animal genes that they are runnning around eating people or something.
I really more invisoning a possible future were a human can mix traits for say. Eyes that have some eagle genes for better vision or cat genes for better night vision or something. I wouldnt be against people taking it further say wanted scale green skin or something. It wouldn't be something I would want but more power to anyone that does want that.
Fair enough. 
or at least will be fun for your children/future children. The Chimera Project was a so far fictional
program we discussed a while back. The pictures are cool too
