Personal Genetic Body Modification

[Todash]

Wait, can I have a do-over? I want:

1. Normally functioning immune system (as before mentioned).
2. Longer torso in proportion to my already long legs.
3. The ability to control my metabolism at will so that I can eat what I want but still be just fine if I get locked in a cave for a month.
4. Perfect vision.
5. Darker skin, no freckling (I forgot about the sunburn issue until SKfan2006 mentioned it).

Oh, mine is simple enough.

If I could splice with an animal, I'd want lemur eyes.
Heh.
And I'd like to splice with an animal that has extremely great balance because mine sucks to the point that I can barely stay upright while riding a bike.
And I would also like a tail. Probably a prehensile one. and maybe for different reasons than Anne...
Or it could be the same.
But honestly, the rest of me is pretty fine. I'm chubby, but that's okay because I'm also tall. It looks proportional. And I have a pretty decent face, all symmetrical and whatnot.
Lemur eyes are just cool, a tail would just be cool and better balance would keep me from hurting myself, so that's more than cool.

the ability to breath underwater too

I'd get my genetics spliced with DNA for a normal immune system. That would improve my quality of life so much.

Of course, I've always wanted to be a redhead...

I'm with you on an improved immune so I wouldn't reject my transplanted lungs nor get infections.

I wouldn't mind being taller after being called little girl recently at my age!

some more i thought of.
changing your tastes. pretty much if you want to eat more veggies but hate the taste change it to where you like them.
perfect skin. IE no acne, boils, blemishes, etc...
how about a second and/or third pair of arms? would come in handy.

This is an easy one for me - wings. But not any ole wings - I want to be able to fly like a hummingbird.

We have so many of these little guys in my yard right now. They can shoot straight up in the air, stop, and just hover and look around. This would be over-the-top cool.

how about resistance to minor pain like paper cuts. i've been getting paper cuts like crazy in the last couple weeks and even caught my finger on one of the plastic boxes we use. this was really painful since it was the area where the nail meets the skin.

Retractable wings please. I always used to dream of flying when I was little. Sounds so fun!!

I posted earlier in this thread that being genetically modified would freak me out, that's true, but the more I think about it, the more I think I'd like to have wings and be able to fly.
Lots of perks in that.

I just did a double-take.

I read the title of the thread as
"Personal Genital Body Modification".

I really need to get my mind out of the gutter.
