  • No balding

Baby teeth last longer. What's this bullshit about your first set of teeth lasts 5 to 10 years, then you're supposed to make it 60+ on the only other set you get? I'd make baby teeth last about 20 years.

Would complete immunity to radiation be a small change?

Would it actually be detrimental in the long run?

Pros: No more cancer

Cons: No more natural evolution
