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.

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.

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

For genetic diseases, sure. I have none buy poor eyesight so I am not sure I would bother, but if I had genes coding for Huntington I would jump at the opportunity since that would mean I would get it for sure and there's a 50% chance my kids would get it too.
I'd like to fix my eyesight, remove any possibility of getting diabetes (thanks dad), beef up the chemicals that remove bad cholesterol from my blood, maybe grow in that fourth wisdom tooth that never showed up, annnnd maybe give myself camo skin like an octopus.
I'd use it to fix any genetic defects I have, but I wouldn't go so far as to change my eye-color or make myself a freak. Especially if it were to pass on to my children. I'd hate to have to explain to my children why they were born freaks just because I thought it'd be fun.
I would change nothing about myself because
1) I am awesome
2) Trans-humanism is not my thing, whats up GATTACA

I don't know if you still smoke or not, but quitting will let you regain some of your stamina. Your lungs will still be fubar, but the nicotine in cigarettes binds itself to the same receptor cites on red blood cells that oxygen binds itself to, which is one of the reasons smokers will give a false reading on a pulse ox test. What that means for you is that about 10-15%(for an average smoker) of your RBCs are bound to nicotine and not oxygen which means your body is getting less oxygen. If you quit smoking, your body will be able to filter out the nicotine; and after awhile and you will have a noticeably larger amount of energy than you used to have.dead.juice said:
Thank you for the articles, its helps to prove its quite possible that we have more animal features locked into our DNA.CulixCupric said:
I also like to point out that 50% of the genes that are in a Banana's DNA are also in Human DNA.

I'd be a little taller, shorter face, shorter nose, super-straight teeth (my teeth are actually pretty good now...I'm just really anal when it comes to...oral? o.o), remove whatever gene it is that makes men grow an abundance of hair around their arse, and I'd also like to put in some unique little 'mark' that any later members of my family would have - like a streak of different-coloured hair, or a unique birthmark. Weirdly, a straighter penis...I don't understand this curve business, no matter how slight.
Fixing my family's short-sightedness, likelihood of developing cancer, and chances of having issues with their thyroid would also be nice, if we're not going purely for the cosmetic.
