No.  Someone who falls into a Jusenkyo pool changes shape as if he/she
were born in that body.  For example:  When Ranma fell into Nyannichuan
his new body was the body he would have if he was born a girl.  This is
less obvious with animal than it is with people.  The evidence from this
comes from the Herb seris where Herb falls into the Nyannichuan and his
new body is _totally_ different from Ranma's (besides being female of
course).  I think if someone cursed were to drown in a Jusenkyo pool the
curse would bestow what ever body they were in at the time to the next
victim. 

	Actually, this varies from pool to pool. There are springs that take
basic attributes (man, woman, duck, cat, piglet) and springs that take
EVERYTHING (Akane, virtuious priest) and WEIRD springs (Ashura, twins,
yeti riding a bull carryin an eel and a crane) 

	Basically, do NOT meddle in the affairs of cursed springs, for they are
ancient and it was a VERY tragic story!
