genetically modifying human beings

[Eddo36]

If I could biologically alter my body, it would probably be night vision eyes on my left eye, while leaving my right one intact. Yours?

Can I mix and match?

[Eddo36]

Sure. Be creative.

[Hurlshort]

I said none because I'm guessing it will mess you up in the long run. We can also do some pretty impressive stuff naturally if we train and actually stay active. I'd like to get laser eye surgery though, but just corrective, not super vision.

Super regeneration. Hell, the ability to heal cuts superfast and regrow limbs has its perks. Gills would be very pimp, too. All you people are going to hell, by the way.

None for me. I'll play the cards I'm dealt.

our brain doesn't need more oxygen to think better (or clearer) as much as more energy.. So if I could have an implant that constantly supplied me with the broken down compounds my body needed- and sorted out the bad ones - I would choose that.

 

Then you could go eat and drink like you wanted without consequences.. hedonism is my favorite sin! ^_^

 

although I appriciate healing too.. my first pick would be an intelligence-altering implant though.

[Deraldin]

Can I choose all of the above?

First off I

[Oerwinde]

Some sort of nano memory upgrade. Basically some sort of super storage in my brain so I could retain all info I encounter. So basically like the super memory chick in Heroes.

 

Then I'd read as much of wikipedia as possible and go on Jeopardy.

The ability to go on without sleep indefinitely.

 

And, of course, super powers.

[Hell Kitty]

I want chocolates and lollies with nanites that clean my teeth while I eat.

[Gorgon]

I think i'll go for the lazer death ray eyeballs.

[kumquatq3]

You deserve a cookie for originality. Well, I've never heard that one before anyway. Me like that idea. That being said, who wouldn

Night vision. That way I can live out my ninja fantasies downtown until I fall off a building and die.

I think I would go for the enhancements that will prolong the lifespan or even make one immortal. It would be a good mixture of self regeneration nanites, brain augmentation, and a memory storage system.

 

No matter how damage or even if you are killed, the self regeneration nanites will rebuild your body, and the brain augmentation and memory storage system will download the last update of your memory and personality into the regenerated brain.

I think being immortal is overrated.

[Sand]

I think being immortal would kick major arse. Well, at least for the first few thousand years.

I think being immortal would only be "good" if I wasn't a social creature.

 

The idea of staying young, while my friends and family get old, and ultimately die, could very easily lead to being horrible. I wouldn't age with my friends, and would essentially still be a young man and would probably find myself with shifting relationships. Even if I remained friends with them, watching my children grow up and die, in addition to their children, and their children's children, would be a never ending cycle of trauma that would come at least once a generation.

 

Recreating myself and reforming new friendships, new intimate relationships, would eventually become an emotionally straining monotony.

[Sand]

I am somewhat more mercurial in my relationships. I really don't have a relationship with my family with a exception for my mother and even then its just the occasional phone call or letter. As for friendships, I have had many friendships over the years, mostly lasting a year or two before either I move on or they do at which point I just make new friends call it a day. I don't find it draining at all for each day brings something interesting to the table.
