If you could design your own body and hit a button and have it immediately implemented, would you keep your natural self or would you make changes?

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?

I was hoping for something more mechanical or digital. If I’m going through all the hassle of getting a new body then I don’t want to bother with the habits of the old one ( eating, sleeping, etc).

But bender drinks, and sleeps…I think he eats? Maybe? I know he doesn’t have taste buds though. They did a whole episode on him cooking with lsd.

Drinking is for fuel and they’ve demonstrated that the robots can have alternate fuel sources. A Bender body is perfect because I can claim a major victory against entropy while not going crazy by sacrificing my human stimulus (like Metalo from Superman). I want to be unfettered from Earthly needs while still being able to party.
