If you could redesign humans, what would you change?

I'd definitely provide a brand new set of teeth every fifteen years or so. Pretty silly to have us get our permanent ones at an age where we still open bottles with them and only clean them when our mothers force us to.

Sadly, my dentist will have to invade that territory pretty soon.

I mean, the whole 'what would you change' thing.

I'd change the bit where we die at the end.

Ay, troublesome, but as Douglas Adams said, it's strange how many people want to be immortal when they don't even know how to get through a Sunday afternoon...

I love Sunday afternoons.......

I'd also scrap the emotonal side of the brain. Would make my life a whole lot easier.

Make us all live 200 years. They we wouldn't be damned to keep repeating the mistakes of the previous generation.

I'm surprised this thread didn't do better.

I suspect we'd just be repeating the mistakes of Napoleon and his ilk...

Bah, just put a mouth where your belly button is and dispense with the whole chewing thing in the first place. And it means you can just shovel food straight off you plate into your "mouth"!!!!

I still think that's the best time to do it.

Would kind of require radical changes in restaurant design. Would we be allowed taste buds there?
