I'd say it would take around, at minimum (for very closely related species) like 5 years.

only theoretically. There is currently no way to even fathom it. Bioengineering madness would be the only way to do it

Most sane biological theorist:

when the theory requires extensive bioengineering to make someone's life be absolute shit

if you think about it.

yes, that MIGHT be possible.

It would just be agonizingly long

how?

endocrinary chemical released -> cells flip a biological "switch" to use a different stored set of DNA -> cells die and are made using the NEW DNA, meaning they are technically a different species' cells -> once all the cells die and are replaced, you can say for absolute certainty that it is another species, apart from the neurons which don't die and would make things substantially harder to move and such
