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?

    Keep myself. We are born with everything we need and are part of something much larger than ourselves.

      Taking a deep breath. Removing some of the choicer words from this comment before posting.

      Some babies are born without functioning hearts or lungs. Some babies are born just to die painfully.

      “Born with everything we need”? Really?

      Maybe you were. I’m glad for you. But recognize that for the fortune and privilege that it is and appreciate it, because no, there isn’t a grand plan. Yes, some people are born fucked. No, there isn’t a reason.

      Make things better where we can.
