No periods
No balding

No body odor
Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Just as long as I don't grow my wisdom teeth back. I don't want to have to have those removed again.

How about repeated full replacement every 5-10 years?

Sorry my performance has been below average lately, boss, I'm just getting my 8th set of teeth.
