If there were snails who could talk, would you be friends with a snail?

[LanayruLunu]

Let's say there existed snails who could talk, think and read. Would you mind being friends with one? How would you react if your snail friend told you he/she were a hermaphrodite? Would it creep you out or would you accept it? If your snail friend suggested that you should stop eating snails, would you?
