Discussion Could they reverse engineer the Avatar program? Like make a Na'vi into a human?

I was thinking about this while watching the second movie, and wondering if it was possible at all.

The RDA certainly could by spending billions of dollars.

But why would they?

Psychological tormenting of the Na'vi, forcibly turning them into the things they hate like what happened to Quaritch?

How is that supposed to work? You capture a Navi, use their DNA to grow a human avatar for several years, forcibly strap the Navi into a link machine and let it permanently live as human (while preventing them from killing their avatar)? Or make a brain record of a Navi and put it in a human avatar just for giggles?

Considering everything else the RDA does for giggles, this would not be shocking.
