QOTD: Moving Your Bits and Pieces Around

Any_Questions_About_Your_WorkIf you could redesign the human body, what changes would you make?

For example, would you combine the intakes for systems dedicated to eating and breathing? Or would you have a food-hole and an air-hole? And would they be in the same general area, or would they be far apart?

Would you keep the party equipment integrated with waste disposal, or maybe move it elsewhere?  How about moving the naughty bits to the hands? A handshake could mean a lot more than just “hello” or “let’s do business.” Or maybe it would still mean “let’s do business.” It’s possible that some things remain the same no matter where they’re located.

Would you still have legs and arms? All arms? All legs? Four hands and no feet? Eight limbs, or six, or two, or none? Add an elephant’s trunk or a long prehensile tail?

How about sensory organs? Maybe add more eyes? Or make the eyes sensitive to a greater spectrum of light?

What changes would you make and why?
