If science ever gets to the point where you could have wings...would you --

get them? Or how about a tail? Whiskers? Animal-like eyes? Honest-to-goodness scales or different colored skin (purple, blue, green?). For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to have wings. I realize that I'm a bit heavy to fly with wings even if I had them (even though I'm a tiny girl and don't weigh alot for a human being, my wings would have to be huge in order to lift me even an inch, and I'd have to develop huge muscles -- which adds to weight -- that'd make my back look weird to go much higher. Because human beings were never meant to fly in that way.), but all the same...I've always felt that, if I was ever missing something as a creature of this world...it was wings. Thinking about it further, I've realized that a tail might not be that bad either, especially if it was prehensil. Eyes, however, I'd have to think about. I kinda like my own eyes, but to be able to see in the dark -- better than I normally can, anyway? It'd be tempting. Nowadays, science is advancing in major ways. Already they're devloping mechanical replacement eyes for the blind, and for those who've lost their own. Mechnical limbs are gradually getting better and more like the real thing, and they're working on the science to be able to grow replacement organs for the dying. Exoskeletons for the paralized, for soldiers, for everyday workers. Robotics is quickly advancing, and now they're talking about giving computers DNA. Concievably, science could someday take body modification to the next level -- maybe not in our lifetimes, but it's within reason. While all the examples I've given are more organic, if you could get a mechical body-mod would you? Like enhancing your arms or legs to be stronger, camera-eyes to record what you see so that the world can see the way you can? I know alot of folks like their bodies as is, and I'm not displeased with my own either. But something like this, someday, seems like a wonderful option.
