Human 16.0 by Ronke Akintade-Ogunleye

Dear Who- or Whatever designed humans,

I noticed your attempts at humans 1.0 - from the apemen, to your homo-erectile [dysfunction] attempt or whatever that funny name is, and several other attempts, and now us -the homo sapiens (I heard there are 15 designs in all!!!). I just thought you might like my idea since you are so adventurous :)

Here are some suggestions for HUMAN 16.0:

1. Be sure to install a mechanism that will automatically regrow another organ when the existing ones begin to tire out.

2. Be sure to make humans have both sex organs so they they can use whichever they are in the mood for. That should put paid to the issue of gender or sexual discrimination!

3. And while you are at it - could you make it so they don't have to kill anything in order to eat? - not even plants. I don't know how you're gonna do it, but you are the genius. Figure it out.

4. Could you also ensure that people reproduce just enough to replace them? And if some choose not to reproduce, then grant the baby lovers extra - but just enough to replace the non-reproducers. That should take care of population problems.

5. Better yet, how about babies grow just like plants - in our gardens! They should watch how things are done from their transparent pods. And when they are ready, drop with a fanfare, and join the rest of us - already potty trained and able to get their own food etc. None of the helpless crying bit! That should stop all the pre-natal and post-partum problems.

6. How about you get rid of dying as we know it? When it's time to go - we go with a fanfare just as we came. We invite friends and family, hold the best party of our lives and poof! disappear while dancing. That would be cool as heck!

I feel it's necessary to go because that eternity thing isn't what it's cracked out to be. I can't imagine being in the place, doing the same thing, knowing the same people for eternity. I'll be bored stiff after a couple of hundred years!

Now, what should we call HUMAN 16.0?……... How about HOMO-PERFECT!

Lol.

Thanks for listening….or not.

It's just me again - your imaginative being,

Ronke
