And how about multiple orgasms for both sexes.
I’d figure out something better than teeth. Why all those separate little teeth… and why baby teeth? And the place where the teeth grow out of the gums is so vulnerable to infection and decay. It’s just a bad system. How about one big hard grinding surface on top and bottom? I know, what about biting and tearing? Yeah, yeah. I don’t have the answers; I just know the current system is waaaay too much trouble to maintain and fix. Send this down to development and have them come up with something.
Better routing for the recurrent laryngeal nerve. There is no good reason for a nerve ennervating the larynx to detour under the aortic arch.
I would totally focus on the whole pooping thing. All feces (urine too) would be passed in odor impervious sacks, no bacteria, no mess, passed when convenient. This having to poop at random inconvenient times would be eliminated.
Sinuses are a prime example of poorly used space. We could put a blueray drive in there, instead, have the picture project out the nostrils.
I know, let’s get to the important items: 4 boobs on women.
Along with that we’ll need either less susceptibility to breathing tube blocking illnesses or a separate redundancy built in.
How about purring? Frequencies to promote healing and happiness!
I’d be happy with a nice fresh set of adult teeth coming out at around age 35 or 40. I have so many crowns that it’s getting very costly to replace them as I age.
Anus located differently in relation to urinary tract. Soooooo sick of UTIs!
Speaking of plumbing, I would move the damned prostate so that it doesn’t sit on two sides of the urethra - one side or the other, or behind or in front. But not positioned so that even a small amount of enlargement interferes with peeing.
And if it’s going to be able to provide sexual pleasure, it ought to be easier to reach. Maybe that’s just me though (and my urologist, heh).

It should be as simple as redesigning the buttocks so that we can take a crap and not have to wipe out the crack. Perhaps a rectum that naturally distends when we crap to get the excess away from our bodies?
Sometimes I wish I had a tail to wag.
A regenerating CNS, or at least one that can have replacements for missing parts spliced in more easily.
The ability to survive freezing solid, then thawing out again later, like a wood frog.
Second this. In addition, self-limiting lifespan for yeast so they are unable to overgrow, reinforced ligaments for all organs so that they never sag , never compress the bladder and uteri that never try to fall out of the vagina.
Also, an immune system that actually only repels foreign invaders and is incapable of turning on it’s host and it isnt interested in pollen or mold spores which, incidently, no longer affect the human body in any way.
We should all have the strength of gorillas, speed of the cheetah, agility of a squirrel, regenerative powers of the starfish all while retaining endurance of humans. I bet you would be able to attain self-powered flight with some sort of strap on wings. How cool would that be? We would have far less need cars if everyone could fly.
Less fat storage; high cheek bones for everyone.
I’d tone the pain response waaaay down
Cecil has commentedon the value of sinuses.
Can’t we make it so that we can turn hair follicles on and off (and control the thickness and curl) at will, all over? I kinda like some of that below-the-nose-level hair.
We have a way to recharge when we need to, but it is flawed. Too often I cannot sleep the night away, and then am miserable the next day (like today.)
We also have a way to store excess energy source (which I have too much of.)
I would allow that energy source to be used intentionally when I need it and fix the body so that when it needs to recharge, it does so properly.
If that worked, right now I would be burning fat at a fast clip and tonight I would sleep all the way through.
