The HAM Serum

The goo wolf speaks!
Let me talk to you about the Ham Serum.
It was created by TAG Industries in an attempt to study genetic mutations. They were able to create human organs inside of animals but the problem was they had to inject it directly into the embryo. The serum was created in order to affect the animal itself instead of the animal's embryo. The serum only affects canines Felines and a select few other animals due to the fact that the DNA structure of the serum is strong enough to change feline and canine DNA as well as some smaller animals.
Their first animal was a female bunny named Evergreen. The experiment was a complete success. after one week the bunny mutated into what is known as an anthro. The results of the tests were so fascinating they decided to ship the serum over to their main branch for more experiments. Even though the experiment was kept secret from the public, a group of animal rights activists attempted to sabotage the experiment calling it a disgrace on the animal kingdom. Their sabotage burned the truck containing the serum which evaporated into the air.
The serum mutated flu and cold viruses so any animal that is infected with the flu or cold or even if they are immune to the flu or cold, the serum still worked causing an outbreak of anthro beings.

Did these people (who sabotaged the shipping) changed into the AAR?
In an attempt to separate them from the public, TAG created camps. These camps were made to protect the community as well as the anthros. It took 15 years for the anthros to recieve human rights due to the fact that every single one of them needed to be taught how to act human. At least the first generation of anthros.
There were adverse side effects. Elliot and his fume is a good example as well as Gregory's immune system being impervious to sickness and most poisons.
However there is a negative side effect. Due to the mutating properties of the serum, some anthros had Anthropolitus. A disease that kills but can stay dormant for years before effects become noticed.
As to this "Anthropolitus", I think some more explanation is required. You say the disease kills, but HOW does it kill? What is to distinguish death by AP via natural death or other causes (heart-attack, old age, etc)? Does it cause all the affected anthro's systems to just shut down? Is it more specific than that?
And I'm supposing that Gregory (as far as he knows) is (as you stated earlier) immune to AP?
As for self-awareness, yes. But its most common in second generation anthros. Which are anthros who where born that way. First generation are the anthros who where first normal four-legged animals.
