If you could genetically modify your children, what would you change? - Because it's your sacred duty as a parent to make your kid a freak

[Audit]

Seeing as Japan is getting ready to permit human genetic experimentation, it seems that now is as good a time as any for us to discuss all of the ways in which we want to "improve" our children. Is it your goal to make your child an affront against nature or do you prefer to keep things natural while you're playing god? No matter the choice, your kid will still blame you for ruining their life at the end of the day so don't worry about how they'll feel about it.

I'd take away their autism

I still want cybernetic implants.

Make it so they're 6 feet 6 inches tall when fully grown. Blue eyes. Strong jaw. Make sure they're male.

 

[wateryketchup]

I'd make them into furries

 

[PantsFreeZone]

I would remove their hippocampus. Indelibly.

Will you be creative and use ALL of the colors of the rainbow or just bring shame to the fandom and make them standard red foxes.

1 of each, so 1 red fox, 1 edgy demon wolf, and 1 kawaii cat girl to cover all my bases

wouldn't that just make a hartley hooligan?

That's the point

This sounds made up.

Also, no pictures in the wiki article.

Still though, sounds cool.

It does, but there's actually an entire breed of cattle that have it. Additionally, Roger the Kangaroo has been thought to have it as well.

I'd treat my children as an experiment to determine the effects of genetic modification on the social and fiscal success of an individual. I'd want to have at least 3 kids and leave one with no modifications to serve as a baseline and then produce two more with significant modifications to act as a control group. One of them needs to have wild cosmetic modifications to identify if people will react adversely to atypical features. I'd probably use something like a furry to test this but anything striking and unfamiliar enough will work. Then I'd also need one that's been optimized for performance. Here I'd select for things like reduced lactic acid production, reduced sleep requirement, and generic disease resistance. This individual should possess a considerable advantage in the working world.

At the end of the experiment, I would analyze the results and publish what was learned. I'll also cash in on the talk show circuit.

Remove knees.

A hoard of albino gingers.

Plant a geneseed on them.

Terminate potential male pattern baldness.

Id genetically modify my children to be dogs.
