You might want to ask a biosafety expert first.
Legalities of this idea are problematical, ethics are questionable..biosafety issues arw imediately applicable and I would guess anyone who had access to the technology wouldn't be granting access.
How would you prevent it infecting others? Could you cause yourself cancer?
I want to incorporate certain genes from a certain animal into myself. I was thinking of using a retrovirus with the gene. Would this work? Where would I be able to find the resources I need? Is there a easier/more possible way of accomplishing this? Thanks in advance

You mentioned the immune system not attacking nerve cells because the damage would likely be more severe than just having a virus inside.That's why HSV-1 chooses to "stand-by" in the nerve cells, right?
