I had a friend ask me this question and I want to hear other people's responses. What would you pick?

Question

Okay, so dust off your imagination for a minute here, okay?

You have an incurable disease. (I'm sorry.)
Good news: There is one scientist, though, who believes he can save your life.
Bad news: He can only do this by turning you into an animal.
Good news: You keep your intelligence, ability to speak, personality, etc, and will live an average human lifespan.

WHAT ANIMAL DO YOU CHOOSE? And if you don't mind my asking...why?

Answer 1

I'd have to say either:

1) A Unicorn - so that I might bring a little magic into other people's lives

or

2) A Phoenix - so that I could live even longer, since a phoenix doesn't die of old age - when they die, their bodies burn up, and the same bird rises newborn from the ashes of the old...

Answer 2

I did nothing but hangglide for about 15 years so it's gotta be a soaring bird. I would choose a pterodactyl but maybe all the cold weather in the would would be a problem, no feathers and all. Also an extinct dinosaur is going to be big and conspicuous, and basketball players find it hard to get around.

I think the bald eagle is the prettiest raptor, but I may want more size. Condors are too ugly. I think some of the African eagles are really big, I would choose one of those to be. Then I would travel the entire world, maybe get a job as an actor or maybe take video cameras into interesting situations. I could do an animal show on TV, only I would catch poisonous snakes, tell all about them, and then eat them.

Dang. is there anything to eat around here, I'm starving.

I wouldn't need clothes, a car or a house, so I would spend my money on rare steak or sushi in the nicest restaurants. I would always be seen with beautiful women.

Answer 3

I choose to be a bird . Iwould love the ability to soar above the the clouds to be able to fly would be wonderfull.

Answer 4

umm hard to choose. would be between a bird (am not sure which one, possibly hawk) or a river otter. the bird because love the thought of flying and soaring being free etcetc. the river otter because they seem to like to play and have fun alot.

Answer 5

Hey that's a really interesting question! I guess I would like to be horse. I really don't want to eat other dead animals (like a lion or cheeta), birds poop all the time, eagles are conceited, orangatangs are skeptical, elephants are kindly but their dumb.. wait I'm getting into a song here... anyway... a horse of course!

Answer 6

i would be a bird. ive always wanted to fly OR some kind of sea animal, living under the water seems pretty cool.what about u?

Answer 7

an owl or a monkey, almost the same thing when you think like one can fly and the other climbs trees all the time, the owl is wise-y and the monkey is fun and they seem like helpful companions, which is what i am...flying is great and all, but a monkey is so cool

Answer 8

A dog, because people like dogs and it could be a great life if I had a master who is good to me.

Answer 9

i'd like to be an owl because i always want to know how it feels to soar and fly literally; i would also be able to see all my loved ones; distance wouldnt be an issue. plus i would be able to satisfy my adventurous side by going to different places. owls are cute and wise, and i like to be that way =D

Answer 10

definitely a bird, because I would be small enough to house and stay with all my friends and family and I could fly back and forth to them. Transportation and housing covered!!!!
