the chimeric experimentation idea

Although scientists have always been attempting to understand and treat human diseases by manipulating human and animal genes, I believe chimeric experimentations can be taken into another direction to advance people's lives.

Each species of living organisms on earth possesses its own adeptness. Mainly developed for the need to survive, these talents and skills are planted in the genes of the living beings. Humans, for example, developed intelligence that surpassed all other living beings on earth and helped them advanced to the top of the food chain. But on the other hand, the homo sapien is extremely weak in the competition of other aspects such as speed and strength.

For example, the fastest land animal, the cheetah, can reach up to a speed of 70 mph compare to the 20 mph human record. The strongest animal, the rhino beetle, can lift 850 times its own weight compare to the human record of 20 times.

Thus, is it possible to insert cells from a cheetah to human embryos and create humans that can run at 70 mph or add genes of a rhino beetle to human embryos and create the strongest human ever?

Taken this idea further, by mixing the genes of the animal with the longest lifespan, a Madagascar radiated tortoise that is at least 188 years old, with human genes, is it possible to raise the human lifespan to above 150 years?

In addition, if we combine genes of fish and birds with human genes, can we create humans that can breath underwater and fly in the sky? This would create new possibilities so that humans could live in underwater towns and villages located on cliffs or at high altitude. This might actually alleviate the problem of lacking available resources and living habitat in the future due to overpopulation.

Thus, in a sense, chimeric experimentations, that combine human and animal cells to create hybrid creatures that are part human and part animal, might be legitimately claimed to be performed for the sake of humanity's well being.

However, the questions asked by Jeremy Rifkin still stands.
Would such creatures enjoy human rights and protections under the law?
Would they be considered as human at all?
Would they be able to live normal lives without under constant surveillance?
Is it possible for them to mate with creatures from another species?
If it is, then would such a creature be able to mate with a human?
Then come the question: Would society allow inter-species conjugation?
Will they be forced to perform tasks that are dangerous to human?

Also, are they suitable to interact with the mass population in general?
How would normal people react to their strangeness?

Special thanx to ZZ for helping me to come up with the idea~~^_^
