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?

Depends, if it's only biological changes, I'd get myself two hearts, and minimize the chances of any disease or aging knocking me out, then become an anthro folf because being hooman is overrated

If cybernetics are allowed, I'd probably get rid of the damn body and just have a virtual one, with my brain connected to some machine deep underground

I'd give myself a nice set of teeth. Not 100% perfect cause I find that off putting, but 90% perfect. Slight imperfections are what make a beautiful smile imo

i mean yeah, i'll take just having the same body but made of nanites please. There are just no downsides to that: i'd be immortal, impossible to damage since the nanites would just flow back into place, i could reconfigure my body at will, and extremely cool shit like extruding tools from my body (either made of nanites or effectively 3d printing them).

Limbs.

Biceps/triceps are 18" would rather 20" Quads/hamstrings are 27" would rather 30"

Even with 18" arms, from a side view, even flexed they look small compared to my upper body. So they look disproportionate. Same with legs, because I have long legs (I'm 6'0), 27" looks small-er compared to someone who is only 5'8 tall with 27" legs.

That's about it, really.

Keep myself. We are born with everything we need and are part of something much larger than ourselves.
