Just got an audience with the creator, gave you an opportunity to choose one organ to enhance/reduce its functionality; Cause apparently the creator can “grant your wish”
- what organ would you choose?
- what functionalities would you add/deduct?
- why such?
Spinal column. Hands down. Fix things so there’s no more disk problems, no more pain. Make spinal nervers regenerate. It is part of the very core of our being and when it doesn’t work correctly it ruins everything else.

Torn between going straight up Von-Neumann-brain, or functional immortality (e.g. Bullets are still a problem, but aging won’t be.)
