It's an interesting thought though. With our capabilities with manipulating the genome, there's no telling what kind of wonders are in store for us, and the possibility of human/animal fusions is frankly intriguing to me.

Good point weswissa. I'd like to further expound on it by quoting Hebrews 8:6-7
"But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second."
The Old Testament Law had faults, such as the inability of the blood of livestock to get rid of sin(Heb 10:4), and so God saw fit to establish a better one.
