How would you improve the human body ( if you were "the maker" )

byhookorbycrook

Better designed lower backs,no menstrual cycle, no diseases like MS and cancer and anything in between. Skin that doesn't burn.

humbert

To be like Wolverine. Recover instantly from any wound and have unbreakable bones. That'd be nice.

Miss Lockhart

As was said - controlled ovulation.

Some mammals already have induced ovulation (cats) but I would go further and say induced ovulation that requires a specific act by both the male and the female.

This would remove the risk of unplanned pregnancy and share the power to control pregnancy with both partners as well as increasing the likelyhood of getting pregnant when desired.

Definitely less body hair. No more pubes, hairy backs, legs, chests, unruly eyebrows. And that's just the women

or how about constant replacement of teeth like cold blooded animals.

sort out the blind spot in our eyes

give us mantis shrimp vision

the ability to survive on grass like the Gildea Baboons

limb and organ regeneration

Give women testicles so they wouldn't be as mad.

Obviously you'd stick them inside to retain the aesthetics.

Limbs that regrow if severed, built in anti cancer cells, telescopic vision + night vision, regenerative organs, self limiting nail growth, a natual abilty to swim like a dog (without lessons), being able to run backwards at speed )

get rid of the need to pee. Its so bloody annoying when you have a tiny bladder like mine having to put the laptop down, get off the sofa and go all the way down the hall to the bathroom. Annoys me every hour or so.

Not so sure that the accidental pregnancy should be wiped out altogether though as then I wouldn't have my older brother, younger brother or little sister! I would be an only child.

Retractable male genitals.

Stomachs that stay flat instead of bloating after eating wheat/dairy/spice or whatever the feck increases the need for an Activiarhhhh yogurt.

- Immunity to colds, hay fever, every major disease.

- Non-decaying and indestructible teeth, regardless of diet.

- No acne, sunburn, eczema, stab/bullet proof skin, at the same time feeling like normal skin.

Lol at the suggestion of male periods. You think the world is violent now?

Would make the skin tougher, I mean what other mammal in the entire world gets a fking paper cut?

dickdasterly

Super hearing and x-ray eyes :eek:

Greentopia

No more menstruation please. Never had or will have any use for my uterus so they're completely unnecessary for me and for other women who are child free by choice. It would also mean no more goddamn period pain every month.

Make the birth canal bigger so that for those who choose to reproduce the birth process is easier.

Remove hair follicles under my arms, on my legs, or around my bikini area so I never have to shave or wax again. I HATE (sporadically) removing body hair. It's a real PITA.

But most of us can do that already? there's nowhere on my back I can't reach with my own hands when I need to scratch and I'm not double jointed or super flexible.

The ability to turn off and on your sense of smell. Imagine the benefits - public toilets, farts, sewage smells on street, strangers bad breath/BO on public transport.

You do have that ability, you get use to a smell and you don't smell it any more. I use to work in an abattoir in the gut house, when I first went in, I gagged, then after about 15 mins i didn't notice the smell anymore.

The ability to change sex. A couple could take turns giving birth and be poly-sexual in gender.

Eh you'd want to throw in "change sexual orientation" along with that. Otherwise I think that would break a lot of people up!

But I wouldn't be for that. I like being a guy too much

Ohh I would like to be a woman for a while, I would play with myself all day.

And yeah I will reprogramme the internal medical nano-bots to make those orientation changes as well at will.

I can actually do this. If I get a wiff of something nasty I can shut my nose off handsfree and not smell until I want to again.

Sh1te to come out wrapped in little plastic bags like those posh firelighters.

The ability to learn things like Neo in The Matrix. Just pop in the cable, load the program and all of a sudden you know Kung Fu. It'd be really handy and save a lot of time.

Indeed, it's actually a dangerous phenomenon in some circumstances. Hydrogen sulphide gas in slurry pits is extremely toxic and foul smelling but it quickly blocks the smell receptors. Sense of smell is an important warning signal.

Demonical

To be able to eat as much chocolate, sweets, cake etc as ya want and never get fat

For people to be unable to lie, steal, cheat, inflict pain etc and generally be assholes without spontaneously combusting.

I'd make our genes indestructible so all new cells would be carbon copies of the last ones eliminating ageing. Also turn back on the genes that allow us to regrow bit's of our body.

Little else needs to be changed the human body is pretty awesome.

If our genes were indestructable, i.e. fixed, we'd never evolve regrowing limbs or any other new traits.
But having just seen the channel 4 ad for paralympics my thought was also limbs that regrow, organs that repair, spinal cord that regrows.

Well interesting - is ageing in our genes or is it environmental ?

Evolution isn't restricted to damaged genes getting passed on. There's still survival of the fitest and gene mixing through reproduction. I'd say those factors have a much larger impact on evolution than the off chance a damaged gene sequence will have beneficial side effects rather than good ones.
