Sure, whatever. Guess it might be both entertaining and sociologically and psychologically enlightening. A species with radically different wiring, pumped up to human-like smartosity, might have a lot to offer in terms of alternate problem-solving capabilities. Assuming whatever enhancement process you're talking about leaves the key differences between human and animal neurology intact, that is.
Now, uplifting humans or animals to superhuman intelligence, that's another proposition altogether, one which I endorse that much more vociferously. It might go some way towards preventing>>46875, too.

Firstly, see>>46803. Secondly, considering the present state of research on the subject, who's to say certain cetaceans aren't already sentient (by whatever criteria you're using), possibly even more so than humans? Their natural environment isn't exactly one that lends itself to tool use, nor to social behaviors more complex than those they already exhibit, and it seems a mite unscientific of you to assume that some cognitive faculty or other of theirs is inferior on the basis of their accomplishments as a civilization, so to speak. By that logic, Cro-Magnon man would have been subhuman.
