The conscience defect some people seem to be born with that turns them into monsters. I dont know if the absense of cruelty would, in time, cause the disappearance of compassion - because people learn to be compassionate only when they themselves have suffered in the hands of cruelty, but Im certain that at the extreme end, the victims of these sociopaths would wish them dead. Or never made.

Honestly I probably wouldn't change anything. Even a small change with the best of intentions could have unforeseen consequences which may cause far worse problems than I might correct in the first place. I'd hate to be blamed for unintentionally dooming the species by altering the effects of erectile dysfunction or something.

I would alter the human digestive system so that we do not store excess calories as fat. I would also make it so we have the ability to digest any organic material, including dirt. I would change our taste buds and food cravings so we would desire foods that are healthy, not foods that are unhealthy. For example, let's say we have a potassium deficiency. We would develop a craving for bananas, and our taste buds would change so that bananas and other high-potassium foods taste fantastic to us. If we can't get any potassium, then we can eat anything organic and break it down and recombine molecules to create the potassium we need.

I would get the human eye redesigned. As it is it's the wrong way round with the light sensitive parts actually behind the blood vessels that sustain them. By doing this our eyesight would be alot better. Birds got this right the first time round, that's why hawks have such good vision. I would also redesign the lungs to be more like birds (again something they got right first time round). This would make our lungs much stronger and more efficient.

I really wish that women had control over ovulation so they would only ovulate when they wanted to get pregnant or we had some sort of valve that we could open to let an egg thru when we wanted to reproduce.
