Hey /tf/, how was everyone's halloween?
No children came to my house, so I just made myself a raw pumpkin pie and ate it alone while watching horror movies. Nothing too special. Didn't dress up or anything either, and that's mostly because I don't feel very comfortable in my own skin.
And that got me thinking. Genetic modification will one day become a reality for humans. Now, let's just say theoretically that this technology is announced tomorrow and released within a year, is relatively inexpensive and mostly safe (as safe as traveling by plane, so there's still a chance something could go wrong). However, every change you make is permanent, for example if you decide to grow a tail, you're stuck with that tail forever. What kind of aesthetic changes would you make to your own body?
Personally I'd want to be shorter (~5 feet), have better skin, hairless, and I'd probably make myself a girl. I can also technically do this with the technology that exists today, minus the height reduction, and I probably will soon.
