What age would you choose? Mentally you still keep growing and you keep your normal life span. Also, what age are you currently?

    Age 20.

    Wait. If the body stays at that age. What happens when the mind dies? Does the body still keep going? Blood keep pumping? What do we do with the bodies? Billions of bodies? Burn the bodies for power generation?

    Don’t need the whole body, just turn all my joints/cartilage/soft tissue back to 18 and I’ll just keep it moving (literally)

    1. Old enough to do adult things. Body can process alcohol in a single night. Boner worked on command, not that it doesn’t now but I feel like it was more so back then.

    22, peak army physical fitness. After Iraq, my mental state made it very difficult to keep it up and that started the decline. I’m now 40, with back, feet, ankle and knee problems despite not being hugely overweight.

    I guess I’m the weird one choosing a much younger age. Perfect for me would be 16-18. Feel like that was when my body was most resilient.

        It’s not actively hurting me, but I don’t have full range of motion when grabbing things, my grip strength is way down, and it does hurt sometimes. It’s like an 80% it’s OK, 20% it sucks kinda bad type thing.

    32 - That was how old I was just before my metabolism slowed down, my muscles gave up and waved a little white flag, and without any warning at all, I was suddenly a fat bastard.

    For me, I’d stay somewhere in my mid-30s. Not too young looking, but still able to do things. I’m currently in my mid-40s

      Same but 34 exactly, here. At 35 one of my wisdom teeth started acting up, and I didn’t even become any wiser.

    I actually think it would be cool to be in your 70s - you can still do most things and can mostly think straight but other people think you cannot and so they don’t bother pestering you.

    Off the top of my head? 30. I was fully transitioned but my chronic illness has not taken off yet.

    Currently 40

    I’d wanna go back to 22, currently almost 30. I developed a lot of health complications around 23-24, and 22 is the last time I remember my body not being in constant pain.
