The Potential of Dolphin-Human Hybridization”

Hybridization technology would be an amazing way to advance human society in a transhumanist way. Animals have many valuable characteristics that would be able to help  humanity achieve things we could only dream of before. We would be able to soar high in the sky, explore the deep sea, or run at amazing speeds. If we had the technology to transfer characteristics from one animal to me, the animal I would choose would be a dolphin. A dolphin is one of the most intelligent mammals. They currently exhibit skills and social structures similar to what we see in people and primates. Dolphins have a great memory and are able to adapt based on given circumstances. With being a dolphin hybrid, I would be able to dive to amazing depths of the ocean and see so many things that we as man probably don’t know exist. 70% of the Earth’s ocean is unexplored, being a hybrid I would be able to explore deep reveens, abandoned ships, and unexplored caves. Being able to swim at 37 mph and play with other sea animals would be amazing. Using their echolocation I would be able to navigate around anything and anywhere. Although I want the abilities of the dolphin I wouldn’t want to look like one. I would still want my human features. With being a hybrid I would have to be mindful of others and their outlook of hybridization. Therefore, having my human characteristics and humanity intact would help minimize potential conflict. I personally wouldn’t want to give up my humanity in order to be a hybrid. I would want the hybridization to add to my capabilities not take away from it.This would occur through combining the most valuable aspects of both dolphin and human characteristics.  I believe that a dolphin’s behaviors and interactions would mimic very similar to humans.
