Mr. Avins and Mr. Liebermann:

If you could change anything in the universe(s), what would you
change?

Here is what my ideal life would be.

I would like to eliminate the following parts of my body:
1. Digestive system [including, the mouth, lips, palates, uvula,
teeth, gums, tongue, rectum, anus, and jaw BUT excluding the liver
because the liver is absolutely essential for survival and cannot be
replaced with artificial devices]
2. Urinary system
3. Entire integumentary system – such as skin, hair, and nails – and
its appendages
4. Reproductive system
5. Gallbladder
6. Olfactory system [including nose]
7. Outer ears [including wax-producing cells]
8. Middle ears
9. Breasts
10. Any epithelium not necessary for survival, given the state of
today’s technology
11. Limbs [such as toes] and muscles, tendons, & ligaments attached to
them
12. Adam’s apple
13. Adipose tissues
14. Any skeletal muscle not needed for vital functions [such as
breathing] as well as any ligament or tendon attached to such a muscle
15. Parts of the eyes not directly involved in – or necessary for –
vision. Example of such parts are tear glands/ducts, eyelids, cornea
and sclera; I would still be able to see without them.
16. Muscles of the ear
17. Hips
18. Waist
19. Parts of the respiratory system not directly required for
breathing – such as the organs involved in vocalization, hiccups,
sneezing, vomiting, or coughing.

I want to lose these parts because they are a nuisance to me.

With today's technology, I don't need a digestive system because I can
live off of parenteral nutrition. In addition, dialysis can substitute
for the urinary system. I'm also sure something can substitute for the
eye/ear parts I would like to remove. In addition, a synthetic
substitute can replace my skin to protect my body from infection and
dehydration that would otherwise result. A ventilator can replace the
missing parts of my respiratory system.

No matter how healthy I am, there will be a certain age at which my
heart will malfunction. This results from the natural process of
aging. When I reach this point in my life, I would like my heart to be
replaced by an artificial heart.

More info can be found on artificial hearts here:

I hate needing to use the bathroom. I drool when I floss and the
salivating sickens me intensely. I hate the bad taste on my tongue in
the morning. I hate foul odors. I hate having to cut/file my nails.
Shaving and haircuts are insufferable pests. Earwax is disgusting. I
don't plan to have children nor am I interested in a relationship, so
there is no need for a reproductive system. Nasal allergies just make
me want to burn my nostrils. Healthy foods [such as vegetables] make
me gag.

Here are some questions, readers might have:

1. How do I propose to communicate without my lips, teeth, gums,
tongue, jaw, and other organ required for speech?

Using this: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/brain-computer-interface1.htm

2. How do I plan to have functioning eyes without eyelids, tear ducts,
or a cornea?

Using artificial devices that will protect the retinae while allowing
light to pass through.

3a. What would be my occupation of choice after I lose my unwanted
body parts?

Believe it or not, internship in bacteriology lab research!

3b. Just how the HELL will I operate the lab equipment (used in the
aforementioned research) without the unwanted body parts?

Through the brain-computer interfaces described in the link

4. What would I like to do outside of my occupation?

Make music by plugging my brain-computer interface to a synthesizer.
Specifically, I’d like to make karaoke tracks for both pop music [such
as Backstreet Boys] as well as bollywood songs [including the songs in
old Hindi films].

5. What would I like to have done with the unwanted body parts after
they are removed?

I would the parts that can be transplanted to be donated to someone
who really needs them.


Thanks a bunch,
