Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

For this one there's actually technology in development right now.

Would complete immunity to radiation be a small change?

Would it actually be detrimental in the long run?

Pros: No more cancer

Cons: No more natural evolution

Better repairing, see Deadpool. Cancer, missing limbs, teeth, w/e.

The ability to turn off some senses temporarily

Make a full night's sleep like 4 hours or something. As long as our corporate overlords don't take advantage and make it a 12 hour workday.

A utility panel with usb ports, hard reset button, xd card slot, s-video port, etc, could be very useful.

Maybe installed on a butt cheek or back of a calf?

In all seriousness, a spinal realignment feature. Something that resets the joints & muscles in your back to factory default.
