Level 6

that sounds like it would cause brain cancer, so no.

How could perfection be improved? LOL!

Level 8

No

Level 4

Not my personality, but I wouldn't mind an age slowing process, or a good old dose of what they gave Captain America.

Level 6

I would fix my disability before my personality. I love myself, I just hate my body.

Level 7

Yes if it were 200 percent safe, but the only major change would be in emotions, not necessarily personality.

Would that make me a GMO??

@WizardBill Ratts, it's a no win deal for me!!

I was kidding! Most people don't realize that all corn is GMO!! I think there's a misconception of what GMOs really are. Who was the guy, Mendehl, that worked with the peas a few hundred years ago?? That's GMO but people don't stop to consider it.@WizardBill

@WizardBill my family's farm is only 400 acres. I worked the place for 14 years after my undergrad degree. It's mostly cotton, now.

Level 8

Yes, I would be more gentle, soft-spoken and patient - mostly or especially when I was a parent to a non-adult. I think I'd leave everything else as is. (This is posted without a ton of thought. I've just always admired specific people in my life who are those things.)

Level 7

I would eliminate my self-consciousness and agoraphobia. Other than that I'm pretty happy with who I am.

same but also my fear of heights and shyness.

Level 8

I don't want a low self esteem, or to have so many emotions, and I'm tired of my extreme inferiority complex. I want no depression either. It's impossible though.

2

Level 5

I'd be willing to fix some chronic conditions- diabetes, proiasis, psoriatic arthritis.

Other than that, i'm content with the mess i am.

Level 9

No way in hell would I ever do that.

4

Level 8

I can not imagine being anything other than the way I am and who I am.

3

Level 7

Nothing. Glad to take what I got.
