We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

Honestly if this scenario was happening, how long before they standardized what your height must be to participate and rebalanced games in relation to that?

But I forgot about sports. I never got the draw and I never will.

Tbf you can kind of see this standardization happening with what's available today, like rhinoplasties or PEDs.

If we get to the point of making it easy to just have whatever body you want at any time you want, then I'm totally ok with athletes being required to use Sports Mode"

People will probably (FINALLY) get bored of sports in general and we can move on as a species.
