I think that becoming a hybrid with an eagle would se really cool. I have really bad myopia, so I think that trading visions with an eagle would be really beneficial since my optical prowess would be extremely sharp and heightened. I also would like to have wings in order to fly, but this mainly stems from my hatred towards 5:00pm traffic. I am the biggest advocate for teleportation as my theoretical super power, so flying is not too far off. Now my main gripe would be if I could just have my wings disappear after I land or would it just retract like a bird. I would also like to know if my wings would be proportional to my body or would it be just like a small extension in my back. I know I said that that being a hybrid would be really cool, and I do not take back the sentiment; however would I have to trade my arms for the wings?
Have you ever seen a Victoria Secret Fashion Show? I think that I was disillusioned by the question as first because this ^ was what I was envisioning if I were to become a hybrid with wings. This romanticized and angelic perspective on wings is just far from what would become of my hybridized self. I think that if my arms were replaced with wings then the joy of flying would easily be overridden by frustration as I would not know how to handle anything without my fingers. Not only are the wings bulky, making it inconvenient to go out in public, but the future professions I would want to pursue would be out of the question since they rely heavily on dexterity and hand-eye coordination. I think that because I am so adamant about no even sacrificing my limbs for this hybridization process then I would be even more against giving up my humanity. But who is to say that humans are the only ones capable of humanity? I think that although this theoretical situation is fun to imagine, since I am unwilling to compromise the loss of any of my human anatomy/consciousness the question is out of the box for me. I also feel like my stance of this question is very selfish.
