We’ll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

    If I choose to remain a woman: add 2 more inches to my height, lose the genetic stomach fat, improve ability to build muscles. Maybe less curlier hair.

    If I choose to become a man: late 20s, dark wavy hair, 6’5, lean build but not skinny. Wanna be a target version of Michael Scofield, basically.

      I’m not even that tall and my height causes issues. People love tall until you try to fit in an airline seat, regular sized car, fit on a bicycle, or buy clothes that don’t need to be custom tailored. Not to mention how often I hit my head on things. And finally it kind of sucks that people are almost always initially intimidated by me based on size, hard to get part that first impression.

          If this machine existed, overnight you’d see so many 10 foot freaks with 5 foot dongs bulging out. We’d morph into supermutants from Fallout 3 due to all of our insecurities.

            To help moderate that, I have decided in my little head canon that you can only make this change once every 7 years, otherwise you end up with like super cancer or something I don’t know.
