    There would no longer be a toxic waste pipeline running through a playground.

    I wish we could reproduce via eggs. Give us a short internal gestation period, then let either parent look after the egg until hatching.

    Long, debilitating pregnancies? Not anymore. Painful childbirth? If the egg shell is soft when being laid and smaller than a newborn, it’s far less likely to be painful or complicated. Abortion debates? Either the abortion would take place before the egg is formed (when it’s clearly non-viable), or whoever is fighting for “babies’ rights” could take on the burden of hatching the egg and raising the baby directly.

      There’d be a whole industry dedicated to egg care! Make sure you’ve bought all your essentials:

      1. You have to have the $1000 Apple incubator of course! Integrates with the Apple ecosystem do you know your little one is at the optimal temperature at all times. Obviously there’s a manual mode when you want to add warming yourself.

      2. Definitely need that $600 Nuna egg car seat for those ovicologist appointments!

      3. Some egg decorations for the Egg Shower!

        Naw, I’d buy the last year’s model on sale Android version. Can’t have the offspring starting life with a sense of entitlement.

    The eyes, the backbone, the head, the legs, the wrist, the hips, the female reproductive system, the immune system, the lungs, hemoglobin, male pattern baldness,…

    Oh you said one thing!? The nose. Our sense of smell is really really bad and we don’t have any tech to fix that (except dogs)

    I’d like humans to be able to regrow lost body parts, including external appendages and internal organs. I’d love to have 2 kidneys again and not worry as much about ibuprofen vs Tylenol vs alcohol.

    I would make it more flexible in terms of primary sexual characteristics. Don’t know how that would be achieved, but making it so that HRT is faster easier and more effective would be awesome

      You can do that already. Who says you have to count on the fingers?

      Some cultures count between the fingers for a natural base 4 or base 8.

      Some have counted between the fingers PLUS the outsides, giving you natural base 6 or base 12.

      Others have counted the segments of the fingers which, at three per finger, gives you a natural base 12 one handed.

      At least one culture counted the segments of the fingers and one past onto where the finger connects to the palm. That’s a natural base 16. On one hand.

        I’m not positive, but I think I read somewhere, too, that the Sumerians counted some way with both hands that gave them a natural base 60 counting. Which is why Sumerian (and Babylonian, etc.) counting was base 5, base 12, and base 60 all together.

    Better eyeballs, so that we don’t end up with reading glasses at about age 40.
