The human mind is an incredibly powerful thing. There is nothing more powerful on this earth than the human mind. If you were to convince yourself fully that you could do it, you can. On the other hand, if you were to convince yourself in a half @$$ed way, you would not be able to do it. Your mind will do exactly what you tell it to do. The problem is 90% of people on this planet don't believe in the power of their own mind, so they never harness that power. Try it sometime. Truly believe in something with everything you've got and see what happens. You may discover that anything is possible and there are no such things as boundaries of what a person can and cannot do.
Taking that into consideration, I would say that Yes, anything is possible, including human transmutation.

I am going to assume you mean shape-shifting, as in an human changing into another type of being. Yes, I believe this is possible, although I have not accomplished it yet, I am in training to do Faerie Shamanic work, and will eventually experience becoming "as one" with my animal guides in this work, for example. I have many friends and a few mentors who assure me it has been done many times before, long long before I even thought about such a possibility.
Shamans all over the world (not just Siberians, Native Americans or my Celtic shamanic practice alone) have done this work for aeons. This is why, for example, Native Americans "dance their animal guides", they are telling the stories to the tribe of their experiences of shape-shifting while in trance states and vision quests.

You're the FMA person again, right?
Well, the closest thing to what you're looking for is when we're (scientists) dealing with a set of materials with the rules already present- a cell. You might look into stem cell research- not the stuff in the popular news, but the peer reviewed journals. Taking a liver cell and turning it into a kidney, for instance.
Or, I suppose building genetic code from scratch... that's a bit difficult tho (understatement of the decade).
Putting air, iron, nickel, etc into a pot, banging the lid 3 times with a copper spoon, and expecting a person to pop out is a bit much.

Simple answer....People who become long distance runners do it constantly. Not instantly, but over years of training their body into an unnatural mode.
