Not necessarily. Being dumb isn't what keeps dogs from rebelling against us. They aren't rebelling because they generally feel no compulsion to. The undomesticated wolf however, is very difficult to control and even when tamed can be prone to violent outbursts and disobeying or ignoring orders, as well as being very difficult to teach in the first place. An intelligent companion race could be just as capable of philosophy and higher reasoning as humans while simply lacking the inherent psychological compulsion to do such selfish things as fight over resources or for their own liberation, simply because the instincts and dispositions that cause such self-serving (see: pursuant to winning the game of natural selection) behaviors are absent. If the creatures are created to see humans in a symbiotic role as providers or caretakers there is no reason to rebel because the very thought to do so is against their nature. Human intelligence may have evolved in the spirit of competition with other species but it is not itself a catalyst for a competitive nature. It is a tool like any other, be it the capacity for linguistic communication or webbed feet to assist in swimming.

Basically your catgirl can sit around your house and be cute for you as well as have the intelligence to come up with new recipes for you or engage you in philosophical debate for fun, while being psychologically attached to you with no potential to be unhappy in your care, so long as she's created to be that way. Though personally I'd want a cute canine girl to point out holes in my theories and help me improve my writing as I scratch her behind the ears and rub her belly.

Honestly, I think one of the biggest issues would be making it not look really fucking bad. Giving girls cat ears on top of their head is all easy when hair is just a buncha lines, but integrating hair and fur would likely be difficult, and the lack of normal human ears (since they'd likely have to co-opt that) might make their heads look fucked up. Come to think, moving the ear canals and musculature around to accommodate the new ear placement would likely require a lot more than just gene splicing.

Also, I'm with >>136037920. I'd rather have catgirls and similar be modifications of humanity, not some attempt at a slave race (also, that would let us get the SJWs on our side, instead of having them trying to ban them for being sexist exploitation yada yada).

It would require a really in-depth and thorough manipulation of homeobox genes and at this point it would be really fucking difficult when we don't know about 80% of intricate interactions undergoing between every single sequence of our genome. On top of that you'd have to do the same for cats, which is hard, but marginally easier than for humans since cat experimentation isn't banned as opposed to human experimentation, unless we count some eco-looneys.

I'm not sure cats are relevant to creating catgirls at all. I doubt that the ears are an encapsulated design that you can copy-paste over like a lego brick, and the internal structures certainly won't be. I'm guessing that the ears would have to be designed from the ground up.

Put it this way. Catgirls are alive. If they are intelligent enough to consent to sex, then they're smart enough to be given rights, such as the right to NOT give consent. If they are not intelligent enough to give consent, then they'd fall under bestiality and animal abuse laws, regardless of human appearances.

No, copy-paste wouldn't work of course. But unveiling genetical mechanisms of cat ear formation would unveil perhaps something that could work as a building block, a foundation for human-cat ears. Then you could adjust parameters like size and fluffiness.

I am thrilled for the age when we will know most of our genome's functionality, alas working in the field, I doubt that age will come in this century's half. Or even in this century at all.

Genetically engineered catgirls will never be a reality because no goverment would put a single fucking cent into a fetish and no mother or father would allow her/his daughter to be modified genetically for such thing

Don't forget the other factors that come with restructuring one of the five senses, namely:

Bone architecture, proper neural migration, synapsing AND correct mapping, which also brings the issue of how the brain might be restructured in order to accommodate, which is a whole 'nother mess.

Proper genetic manipulation is not enough, we'd also have to have a complete grasp of how to control developmental factors during embryonic growth.

It's not really how (complex) genetics works. It's not like a series of independent code where you can just switch out the bit that says 'human ears' and put 'cat ears' in instead. You'd have to find a series of small sections that together work to go towards 'human ears' and switch them out for 'cat ears', but hope other things aren't 'read' from what you just spliced in so you don't end up with extremely small cat eyes just knocking around in human-sized sockets (or more likely in such a case, constant still-birth / spontaneous abortion).

There is nobody in such third world countries that would do it (countries with no laws on the matter are too poor)

>>136046972
Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. A buncha shit within the head would need to be moved (like the ear canals), and other shit moved to accommodate that, and so on. I'm not sure how much the brain would need to be changed, though (unless it needs to be a different shape to accommodate the relocated equipment). Aren't our eyes linked to the back of the brain of some shit like that? I'd think they could just make a new nerve pathway from the new ear location to the same 'spot' on the brain.

The changes to the wiring and structure would be drastic. Our heads are designed in a particular way, which also takes into account the positioning of our ears. The ear canals would be the least of our problems.

For example, detecting sound in the way we do is completely dependent on the interaction of the eardrum to your ossicles (the small-as-fuck bones in your ear) to the oval window of your cochlea, which are aligned horizontally more or less, which significant due to how our azimuthal receptive fields are set. To move the ears to a higher position would mean a redesigning of this set-up, leading to a change in the cochlea, which can also severely affect our sense of equilibrium or balance.

You may posit that we can just use the cat itself as a model, but the problem is that as bipedal creatures, our heads have been tilted forward due to adaptations, whereas cats remain as quadrupeds, making the interaction between how their ears are wired to their brain more forgiving.

And don't get me started on the brain, because my autism literally cannot.

>>136047803
This is the best way, but let's be honest, we're too greedy to just stop at aesthetics. I mean, wouldn't you also like the ears to twitch just like the real deal?

I never thought that copying cats would be a good way to do it. My first thought on serious consideration was that there would be very little of value to copy from cats, and most of the new shit would have to be designed from the ground up.

I'm not sure how the aural balance system works, but isn't it somewhat about what is the 'norm'? It might still work after being relocated because the new location would be the 'norm' for the catgirl.

In any case, you're preachin' to the choir here. I'm a layman in this field, and it looks like a really complicated project to me, and you're using the real jargon words to explain how complicated it is, instead of me trying to explain the shit that looks like it'd be complicated to me.

As aesthetic-only ears: We might be able to give them some twitch, at least, by co-opting the deprecated muscles we have for our natural ears. Most people can't wiggle their ears anyway, but you might be able to design some new musculature to move the aesthetic cat-ears instead of the human ears, and figure out what human genes need to be active to give back ear-wiggling. (I'll gladly donate my DNA for use in creating catgirls. I can even wiggle my ears independently to some degree). And now you're gonna tell me how that would be complicated as fuck, too, right?

>I study criminology
Topest of keks I've done half a criminology degree because I had electives and crim is the easiest subject on both campuses I attended.

Also there are plenty of reasons for criminality just not one grand unified theory. Further there is a LOT of evidence that people don't like to talk about that links crime and genetics. Excluding obvious genetic change and abnormality and accounting for situational stressors you could certainly breed out criminality (given that the technology and skill to manipulate genes on that level was also developed). That would probably make us the slave race though.

Couldn't you introduce it generationally? You people are to focused on the cats and the genetics doing it in one sweep.

If you transplant the ears and wire them up to the same area things would be concerning, sure, but with any luck that's where plasticity comes in. As long as the transplanted ears are similar enough to the stock model to have some functionality with the pre-existing areas and tracts continuous transplants over a few generations would eventually produce of spring that is better equipped to deal with it. If you naturally alter the neural structure over time would the final step be figuring out how to genetically introduce the ears? While getting them wired up even with the now developed areas would be a nightmare, it would be more realistic than producing it from scratch with genetic coding.

>I study criminology and pretty much I can tell you that we have no scientific proof of any of the theories that try to explain criminal/degenerate behavior
That's social and psychological theory though, tailored specifically for humans and developed in the interest of understanding human behavior. Assuming we have reached the point where we can manufacture a self-replicating genome, we need not build catgirls from a human template, but can instead build them from scratch using what parts of the human genome we want, since by then we'd probably understand enough of it to know which genes do what, theoretically at least, though I'd think by then there would have been plenty of experimentation considering the importance of human genetics to medicine. Behavioral genetics would actually be the easier part, since what you can do by messing around with expression of proteins really only allows you to create a set of behavioral dispositions, and the rest of the work is to raise the subject in the correct environment to maximize the probability of getting the desired psychological product. Once the project has a V1.0 catgirl I'd the ones that have already developed the wanted psychological profile would probably be the most costly for the consumer, while those that require a fair bit of effort on the part of the owner to achieve desired behavior would be cheaper. Of course, the owner could probably offset some of the cost by getting a younger one from a higher-rated producer and training her themselves. Even if the brain is an enigma behavior modification is a game of cause and effect experimentation.

As other anons said, a bigger challenge would be creating anatomy that is both functional and appealing to the customer, since that is a hell of a lot more complicated than "give her X enzyme and see what happens."

I'm sure there are tons of issues that haven't even occurred to me. We'll probably colonize space first. I'm just an overoptimistic transhumanist.

Bioengineering is more about explicit medical technology, at least as it's taught at my school. The tissue engineering focus bridges the gap somewhat but it's still an emerging field and even then they're more interested in the products of the genes than the genes themselves. A lot of people take the introduction class expecting to do genetics and drop out disappointed.

There are some bodymod enthusiasts who stick bits of plastic in their foreheads to give themselves horns / weird bumps.

If we ever got to that point it'd be likely that humans would have started advancing physically and cognitively not just atheistically.

>Forgetting that the Japs literally have sex robots already

Biggest issue is the surrounding morals behind it.

Of course, we only find the morals to be bad because we're doing something. No one would ever consider it morally wrong for humans to find babies cute, but for modified catgirls to be programmed to like humans would be considered immoral.

Another issue is the line between human and catgirl. If they're just like humans, but a subclass in the eyes of the law, you can bet companies are going to abuse the fuck out of them. Our cute pets would become the literally slaves of the new world while we're all stuck at home on welfare because our jobs are outsourced to catgirls that by law aren't required to be paid as they are not human.

If they're not like humans, and only look human, then the question is why bother? Unless you want to have sex with them, a catgirl that looks like a girl but with only the intelligence of a cat is getting into uncanny valley.

>Biggest issue is the surrounding morals behind it.
I don't see any moral issues with sex robots unless someone has managed to secretly develop conscious strong AI. As it stands they're just really expensive onaholes.

If I were to have my way the catgirls would be classified as a subspecies of human as even if they are somehow developed with a genome different enough from ours to be considered a separate species they would have been artificially created in our image to be a version of us that we wished to give life to. "Homo sapiens nekomimicus" or something. Actually, by the time that happens there would probably be a system already in place for decades that is meant to integrate man-made species into the greater taxonomy. Therefore, as a human subspecies it would stand to reason that catgirls, though possessing innate psychology that makes them prefer symbiotic pet-master relationships with humans, would by virtue of having the same capacity for intelligence and independent thought as the rest of us (or perhaps even more; since they're not bound by the limits of reproductive evolution why not make them cute, dependent geniuses to help advance humanity as a whole?) have the same basic rights.
