What are some important systems our bodies are missing? For example the ability to get rid of heavy metals without chelation therapy?

I'd like the next evo patch to include a nanoplastics removal system.

So basically you're asking what systems will help humans live in the faggot degenerate cities with zero consequences?

>muh degenerate cities!
>inhales lungfulls of pesticides from cropland every summer
I fucking love it when the shit coming out of the spray plane blows off the field and into my yard. MMMM GLYPHOSATE (and god knows what else)

Do urbanites really think everyone who doesn't live in a city lives in the middle of a corn field?

You don't have to live in the middle of a corn field to get exposed to pesticides.
I've lived in a small farming town my whole life. I'm not right next to a field, but in the summer when the planes are out spraying the field across the highway from town I can still smell the chemicals.

So if I'm not living in a city I'm necessarily living on or near croplands? You retarded?

Why? Clearly isn't particularly toxic.

Most of the time yes, unless you live in the actual wilderness or a desert or something. There is cropland all over, especially in North America.

Some sophisticated system which preserves a perfect copy of your DNA at birth. In all organisms individual cells accumulate mutations throughout the life of that particular cell, for that cell the information in it's genome is lost. Eventually this loss of information causes the cell to be unable to survive in an environment it's inhabiting. Technically what usually happens in multicellular organisms is the activation of an evolved system which puts that cell into a senescent state, alerting the immune system to remove it (meant to reduce cancer). This system is imperfect as the immune system doesn't always clear these cells, with declining ability with age.
Even if this system of senescence was perfect, mutated removed cells would need to be replaced. Normally done by stem cells (where applicable, many cells aren't replaced because evolution) but stem cells suffer from the same information loss problem, eventually you run out of stem cells with complete copies of DNA.
So crudely put, the build up of mutations and loss of cells with complete genomic information is what causes your death fundamentally.

Meanwhile a group of organisms or wider life as a whole avoid this death by loss of information. We can see this is true because life has existed for hundreds of millions of years.
Life as a whole achieves immortality by comparing the genomic information of two cells and creating multiple daughter cells, then allowing these daughter cells to compete against each other.
This works because the chances of two genomes having a mutation in the same place is small enough that most of the resultant daughter cell can survive the environment long enough to reproduce and by luck gain mutations during their own lifetime which offer a survival benefit. This beneficial mutation with any luck makes it to the 3rd generation and will make up for the deleterious mutations already suffered.

Now what I propose is somehow (??? Profit) create a system which tries to preserve an individuals genomic information for a very long time.
This system would have a class of stem cells (gonna call them “Meta stem cells”, MSCs) which have 3 roles: Keep your population within X range. Differentiate into low caste stem cells as necessary. Perfectly preserve the information contained by the individual’s genome at birth.
The first 2 tasks would be handled by some subsystem similar to what’s already in use by other cell populations in the body e.g. bone marrow, but the specifics of how meta stem cell replication works comes next. The third task would very challenging to design, so it’s complete handwavium. This is the schematic overview: Whenever meta stem cells divide they must first find multiple other MSCs to conjugate with, say 21. This group of MSCs would use some sophisticated mechanism which compares simultaneously all 21 copies of DNA, reading along sequentially each base pair of all 21 copies in parallel. The newly copied base pair of the daughter DNA is determined by a majority vote of the 20 parent MSCs. You can imagine how absurdly complicated and energy intensive this would have to be compared to normal DNA replication.

In order to produce a daughter cell with a genome that has information different from the original-from-birth (OFB) DNA, a conjugation of MSCs would need to have a mutation in the same place 11 times in a row, this is very unlikely. Of course it could still happen, but the cases where cells with OFB DNA are produced would vastly outnumber mutated daughter cells.
In the next round of mitosis by a group of MSC where that mutated daughter cell participates as a parent, it is probably that it’s mutation will be overruled, as the vast majority of MSCs would not have the exact same mutation in the same place.
In order to have a majority of the MSC population with a mutation in the same place, a very large number of already improbably events would need to occur. You could tally up what the chances of that happening are in a year, which you could use to calculate the expected half life of the information coded in each base pair. You’d then need multiple mutations to happen as usual in order to produce non-functioning MSCs, to eventually lead to the individual’s death.

Depending on how you set this system up (how many MSCs conjugate), and assuming the individual inhabited a known environment with a similar mutation rate to ours, I think it’s reasonable to expect a lifetime of tens of millions of years. More than enough time to be killed by something other than old age.
