Could the Turtles actually start out as humans?

It started as an uneasy feeling, a eerie hunch, when the actors were cast as Turtles and all looked their parts.
I remember posting about it and being relieved I wasn't the only one thinking it...
Then again- some thought we were insane.

I must admit I'd totally forgotten about it.
Until I saw the teaser today. And the dormant fear returned...

The fact that "heroes are created", The ooze-fueled Super Soldier machine,
and worst of all, how unsettlingly human the 'Turtles' look... The nostrils, the lips instead of beaks...

The more I think aboout it the more I think it's not just a paranoid imagination...

Also, let's be honest... knowing Michael Bay and his modern action movie henchmen, with the photomodel lead actresses and the humongous antennae falling from skyscrapers for the umptieth time...knowing what we know now after seeing the teaser and how realistic everything looks... I can't honestly imagine that -with the movie's 'creation of heroes' plot- they'd actually consider using baby turtles as guinea pigs to spawn the saviours of the city.

Seriously- I sure hope I'm wrong. I hope they didn't dare and that I'm imagining things...
