  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Improve the birthing process so you don't have to rotate just to fit on the way out. Either make babies smaller or vaginas bigger (in which case penises would have to compensate I guess)

No nearsightedness/farsightedness

No arched noses

Everyone can breathe through their noses silently

No pectus carinatum/excavatum

Digestive tract hits limit on sugar digested and rejects the rest

No loosening of sensitive hair follicles; make every scalp hair difficult to remove/fall out

Change that double helix into a quadruple one for extra redundancy, making it harder for it to gain irreparable damage. Also, make it a loop rather than a straight line so the ends don't get shorter with each replication. And remove that dementia bug that has a greater chance of showing up the longer run time is

If the body couls generate muscle without needing to excersize first that'd be cool. But I guess that's why steroids were invented and those have some side effects

Better repairing, see Deadpool. Cancer, missing limbs, teeth, w/e.
