If you could design your own body and hit a button and have it immediately implemented, would you keep your natural self or would you make changes? (fedia.io)

We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

totally change stuff. remove the miopia. give me the ability to tan. anything else I could do what is clearly improvements. I would keep the overall look the same. like I would not change anything that could not do better practicality wise. I would not just change for looks.

There is some stuff you can buy called Melanotan that will give you the ability to tan.

It's what Rachel Dolezal used to impersonate a black person

Apparently it also makes you super horny but this is highly suspicious and it go to evidence at best

A good way to increase your risk for melanoma as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I wonder if that's true because it increases the amount of melanin in your skin which makes you 10 quicker which increases your resistance to UV radiation, so it seems like it should decrease your risk for melanoma.
