Poll: Would you use Genetic Manipulation as a Body Modification?

[PUR3_GAM3R33]

I'm not to keen on the "passing on to my kids" thing.but then again they could use the same method to change whatever they want so I guess it isn't too bad.

I would like pink colored eyes and 6 angelic/avian wings so I could fly among a ton of other things that will help me.

also can this thing grant super powers? cause if so,I'm definitely going to be their #1 costumer.

 

[UrieHusky]

If I could make my natural hair colour black with a red streak so I don't have to constantly get my roots done, absolutely!

I have no desire for kids so the whole grand children's grand children means nothing to me

 

[iblis666]

as long as it still makes a person genetically and sexually comparable to the rest of humanity id be using that shit like there is no tomorrow, plus if we had space travel and the ability to grow children out side the womb id be creating entire civilizations of altered people.

no offense..but I imagine if this were possible the furries would have a feild day.....

yeah, your kids would have your alterations, but could have them removed, and even get their own. i also want purple eyes, but not because of saints row, but because purple is my favorite color. i don't like saints row/gta.

First off, and this may of already been pointed out, teeth-filling and caps are already a body mod. It's easy to get pointy teeth. You can also get yours ears pointed and if you go for plugs (the big hoop mods in the earlobe), the only way to fix it is by getting your lobe snipped and stitched up. Effectivly, elf ears are already possible. I probably wouldn't get the eye stuff, unless it's to change general colour. Lenses are good for anything else.

I'd probably genetically point my ears, because that's easily hideable and not really a big problem. Things like fangs..eh, not too bothered,depends on how many jaw problems I/my kids would get. Yes, illiminate all the innate health problems, and probably some vague upgrades. But nothing vastly technological.

If it meant I could get a Raidramon tail (a good five or six feet long), then I would do it without question =P

 

[Adrian Neyland]

Kitten tail, kitten ears. Actually, make me a cat.

[launchpadmcqwak]

i just wanna be more attractive to women...yea

 

[Arina Love]

Yes i will use any available and viable(better than original organic) body modification i can get my mitts on, mechanical genetic you name it, H+ (Transhumanism) is way to go.

 

[Jedoro]

Yes, because I demand the green eyes my father had.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Wait... Wait. WAIT. WAIT! Wait, wait, wait... Wait.

I can haz Witcher eyes?

Sign me the fuck up.

Or this.

 

[Agayek]

It depends on the situation. As part of an early batch of users? Fuck no. I'm not willing to risk my continuing health on aesthetics, and my genetics are actually pretty damn good health wise, so there's no other reason to.

That said, if it was an established practice with a proven safety record, I'd consider it. I wouldn't be willing to spend much money on it, and I can't really think of what I'd change, but if something were to come up that caught my interest I'd probably do it.

 

[Deadyawn]

For meicinal purposes? Sure, why not. For aesthetics? Personally I wouldn't. I don't care enough about my appearance to go through an expensive and laborious process to have it changed. I'm fine just as is thanks.

 

[Tanis]

Getting rid of my (and this my child's) predisposition to three types of cancer, diabetes AND Altimeters?

WHY THE HELL WOULDN'T I?!?!?

 

[alandavidson]

Can it turn into Batman?

If yes, sign me up.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Catgirl up there is hot.
And hell yeah I'd use it. I want my pre=smoking lungs back, or lungs that allow me to smoke safely.
I'm built well, so I don't need no body mods. But I have no friggin stamina anymore thanks to cigs (heed ye, children and non-smokers!).
I fractured my right hand last year on Christmas Eve, and the knuckles are kinda fucked up. It would be nice to fix that.

Oh, and the catgirl up there is hot.

do... do you mean the dog girl? or the cat eyes? there is no cat girl...

anyway, I'm never havin kids, so fuck yeah, why not? get my hair to grow in toxic green

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

That depends, am I genetically destined to get cancer?

If so, YES I'd like to modify my genes to remedy that.

Though, If I had a choice, I'd modify myself to have white hair. And not that fake shiny white hair nor that bleach crap. Like Accelerator from Toaru or Dante from Devil May Cry 1-4.

I'll look like a total tool while acting like one! It's a win-win scenario!

I don't know if I would. At first thought, I would say hell yes - make myself taller, fix the way my brain works - if it is indeed messed up, and ADHD doesn't turn out to be the norm, while YOU are all the ones messed up.

Spoiler: Life Story

But then I think about it - and I really like the way I am. Sure, I'm not the tallest guy at around 5'~6", weighing in at around ~170 - ~175. But you know what? I'm pretty okay with that - and my weight usually drops back down to a comfortable ~165 during the summer season when I'm working 40 hours a week and also working out for an additional 10.

..But I would totally make my K9's slightly more effective (read: sharper/longer - but not absurdly so), in addition to strengthening the rest of my teeth over-all. I'd like to not have to buy fake-teeth or anything for as long as possible. Additionally, I wouldn't change my eye-color (unless it was a side-effect), but I would strengthen my night-vision, maybe with some tapetum lucidum (Lawl - the google machine makes me feel smart) to help with that.
