I’ll start by saying that I’d get rid of the need to shit. I’m pretty sure everyone can agree that it’s unpleasant.

    Remove the need to exercise, like an anaconda. The ability to just lay around doing nothing and still be ripped to the max. That would be cool!

    Surprised nobody said cell degradation.

    You now can live for as long as you’re not killed whilst physically keeping an appearance of an ~30 y.o. This also technically prevents cancer.

      In the end there can be only one!

      I like this, but you can’t have kids and be immortal, that’s a recipe for overpopulation.

      Would enjoy not aging past adulthood (or not past 45, that was my “vampire age”), but life has to end unless you want all the same people around forever and no or very few new ones.

    I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it’s trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.

    Sneezing/snot production. Sure, it can feel amazing. But the sudden urgency to stop everything I’m doing and focus on my nose or risk a disgusting eruption of green mucus all over my face in a public setting is something I could do without.

    Also, I’m waiting for someone with medical knowledge to come in here and mention Prions or something else silently devastating to the body.

    Sleep. It used to take up nearly a third of my life. Since having Long COVID, it’s closer to half my life.

    Honestly, think of what we could get done if we had all that extra time…

    Does the need for particular hormones count as a single bodily function? Asking for a post menopausal person.

      Sure, why not? I guess you might as well just say you would like to do away with menopause if you could, that works 👍
