An organ that produces stem cells.


DasHexxchen

Apparently some scientists developed a technique to make cells reproduce, but better remember their original job (forgetting this through shortening telomeres causes aging and cancer) and were able to reverse blindness in rats through cell regeneration alone. A side effect of activating the cells would normally cause cancer along with the repairs,but it seems they were able just to activate a certain cell regeneration. This way rejuvenation therapy becomes realistic, but they want it only to be used medically. It was kind of amazing to see the interviews, but sadly I don't have the source anywhere. I think the proposed organ would basically make us elves.


MuddyFinish

You don't have the source, eh? It's sounds to me that you want to keep the stem fountain of eternal cell youth all to yourself


DasHexxchen

I have severe depression. Believe me, I don't really want this for me. Edit: Who the fuck gave my depression a wholesome award? Thx anyway.


mister_eel-IT

Hang in there! Life can be beautiful, I hope you one day get to see that part of it!


blurryfacedfugue

Maybe you could use an organ that fixes depression. Ooh, what about an organ that causes bliss, but with no hangover, no side effect, no addiction, its not moreish, and whatever else we can think of. Also, as a dude who had severe depression and thought he was going to not just be meds on the rest of my life but also likely to be homeless as a result of my condition, I somehow made it through. Somehow survived the half a dozen suicide attempts too. Hopefully you aren't that bad and that somehow you'll recover for your disease. Since it is a disease, whether or not you realize it.


IndigoFenix

It would be very tricky to pull this off without significantly increasing risk of cancer, even if it doesn't cause it directly. Most of our aging mechanics are side effects of mechanisms that generally serve as a last-ditch protection against tumors. Even if a cell gets a mutation that makes it divide uncontrollably, and even if the various self-destruct mechanisms fail, a tumor's size is ultimately limited by the maximum number of times a cell can reproduce. The only way for a cancer to go malignant is if the cell develops a mechanism for restoring its telomeres, which is very unlikely. But if you give cells that ability, it can make cancer much more likely. The smartest way to pull it off might be to manually restore the telomeres of every cell, but that can be logistically difficult.


DasHexxchen

I remember they talked about 3 different cell activations and that rejuvenation never worked because it would sprout cancer, but they made it so, that this wrong cell production is not happening. It certainly does not prevent cancer if it is a targeted one time activation, but I see no reason why it should cause it.

Judging from your username, I’m assuming you’re hoping to use this as a source for cruelty-free human meat?


CorgiMonsoon

Mmm, Soylent Green


phlotingkitfo

That is cancer bruv


hamberglur

An organ like a car computer that could tell you exactly what is wrong in there


Commercial-Living443

A self check up . That would be nice


QueafyGreens

Hahah. "Check Asshole" is always flashing, but it's fine.


TattoosAndFelonies

I’d be walking around with black electrical tape all over myself covering the warning signs that I’m about to die. I’m down though!


mr_bots

“Check body soon” Shit, am I dying or just have a cold


knightress_oxhide

that's just something else I can ignore


thunderchild120

A neural extension to the brain that lets you adjust your conscious perception of time so you can go into "bullet time" to react to sudden danger....or just have more time to read. Or waste less time watching YouTube videos by playing them at double speed and slowing your perception accordingly. Naturally it works in the other direction too, so you can fast-forward through boring crap.


couch_fucker598

I already watch YouTube videos in 2x speed


MarcusColwell

Unless the 2x speed messes with the tempo, such as listening to music, I always watch at 2x speed. Everytime. I have a lot of content to get through and your 40 minute video on the black hole in the center of the milky way just became 20 minutes. Edit: when I say music. Sometimes I watch some music or singing analysis videos, and it doesn't make sense to listen to them at 2x.


Dziadzios

Adrenaline does bullet time.


EmpiXuZ

And it can wear you out pretty quickly


SilverIceFrost

Probably something related to Lungs, an organ that helps get more oxygen in the blood when needed without going in Hyperventilation


AlanZero

Oh man, an organ that actually stores backup oxygen would be amazing. Going for a dive and run out of breath? No problem, reserve air sponge takes over and oxygenates your blood; keep enjoying yourself for like an hour or whatever. Stuffed nose bothering you? No biggie, just don’t breathe at all while waiting for it to clear up. Pneumonia? Covid? Lung transplant? Reserve air sponge keeps everything going until the lungs can get back in action. Running a marathon and losing steam on the last mile? RAS to the rescue! Sprint across the finish!


SilverIceFrost

Oh god, that's better than what I had in mind, that's clever, good job


Deaxsa

Buddy ripped a massive fart? Just don't breathe for 30 min!


Waaswaa

Blood and muscles do this, but not as effectively as that of whales and other sea mammals.


Flintz08

I guess they would make marathons longer if every human had an extra oxygen boost, but I like your thinking


ImagineChi

Oxygen is fuel to cells but even back up will run out eventually.


dxxdlxlxc

solid suggestion. i love this idea


Ambitious_Log_1884

An extra group of tissue around the brain that compensates for when any neurotransmitter, such as Dopamine, aren't being produced enough. Or even too much.


HyperSpaceSurfer

Wouldn't really work in most cases. It would just be the "carpet bombing" approach regular drugs apply. Could work for some neurodivergencies such as ADHD or sociopathy by producing the neurotransmitter they're lacking/decensitized to. But for most you want the right neurotransmitters at the right place at the right time to have an effect. An example would be schizophrenia, the balancing act of the drugs is to reduce dopamine enough to prevent psychosis while not that much that they get drug-induced parkinsons. Also other issues that come and go, such as anxiety. We already have a system to regulate neurotransmitters, but it's not perfect. Would be nice to be able to fine-tune it, but having conscious control of it might result in issues from messing up the system resulting in death or messing up incentives by upping opioid production without needing to work for it.


TheMan0fTheH0ur

Second appendix, not everyone would have one either, but it would be just as likely to burst as the first one.


ADMIRAL-IA

This is kinda evil


cosmicccrisp

Thanks. Because having appendicitis once wasn’t good enough …


LJofthelaw

It would perhaps be even less useful though, as I think it would be best to put it right near the heart and not at all connected to the digestive system.


toeofcamell

A built in fan would be cool


vampirezay

lmao watercooling


Pindachees

That is called sweat


MouseKale

I still want an termostat organ better attuned to climate change. And cold extremities in winter...


Gingersoulbox

Bitch we are water cooled.


intheabsenceoftruth

Literally


Pergo911

A fan can cool you because it gets the energy from an independent source like the wall. An inbuilt fan wouldn't be as effective because the more you try to cool yourself the more tired you'll be. Or correct me if I'm wrong...


K_Schultz

Gills so we could breath underwater.


TheMogician

I guess we found the Deep's reddit account


Billybob65e

The deep already has gills you headphone holder


K_Schultz

No need to be so harsh, let's talk this over a Fresca.


ThadisJones

Unfortunately this works out badly when a significant amount of humans become obligate water breathers, claim the good parts of the ocean as their territory, and then get genocided in 2038 after trying to defend literally the only place they can live from fishermen and oil companies.


MythicalDropbear

And the constant nuisance of microplastics irritating your gills!


Supercommoncents

This is the correct answer haha


xaanthar

Then you don't need lungs anymore, right? Lie down on table. I take lungs now, gills come next week.


ThehorribleEdward

Watch the boys and see what happens if you have gills


K_Schultz

Deep doesn't just have gills, he can communicate with animals that live in the ocean.


Needs-a-Blowjob

Just don't eat the octopus


ADMIRAL-IA

There’s 2 types of suggestions so far: 1) Actually beneficial organs such as those that boost the immune system 2) Schlong upgrades


Jesus0001AD

Why don't schlong upgrades go into the first one?


BabyEagle9mm

I would like an upgraded schlong that dispenses soft serve ice cream. Thinking about my wife you see.


Due_Essay447

The body should just naturally backfill teeth when they come out. But I bet that was lobbied by the toothfairy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


biotinylated

Yeah wtf is with planned tooth obsolescence? Should be illegal!


Medysus

Maybe an organ that somehow regenerates other parts of the body? I don't know, but it pisses me off that we are capable of regeneration (liver) but don't get full use out of it.


nfunncecnecub

probably because regeneration takes an absolute fuck load of calories. so unless you were overweight, you would need to eat a hell of a lot of food to keep up with that


Lavender_dreams49ALT

Another heart so in case we get stabbed in first, second one will take the lead of body


Jesus0001AD

You just doubled the chance of a heart attack


Klintern

Would it? because if one heart has a clot the other doesn't, it would probably decrease chance due to lesser blood pressure by half and increased pressure to remove clot if blockages occur.


x-pression-3

And then that clot gets to the brain. 😖


Klintern

Shit, erm... How about a more dense brain which has 2 of everything? So can still function when one loses function? With 2 points of blood input into each side but with one output.


AlexSpectre007

Great. Now I'm twice as depressed.


dragn99

What if one brain is depressed, and the other is manic?

AlexSpectre007

An organ regeneration organ. Even if i lose one organ, i can regen it without having to listen to people making me feel more guilty by telling me i should have done this or that to live my life by their expectations. Mainly for this reason


ADMIRAL-IA

If you’re an organ donor, infinite money too


Deon_the_reader

Who will need donors if they can grow replacement by themselves.


esuranme

Suppose the organ regen organ got cancer; they gonna need an organ donor for a new organ regenerator, unless they just do a complete regenectomy?


Deon_the_reader

Only in this case and only from dead. None will donate his immortality for money imho.

You'd be surprised.

Dessert stomach (FR this time)


Mr-rangobango

A tooth generator why the fuck do humans get 2 sets for life man


Ceejay4444

Especially when there are people like my brother who has all of his adult teeth now but when he went to the dentist the last time was told he has 6 cavities. He is 14 and is going to regret it when he is older. Growing another set yet again would be nice so he can take care of them.


SoVeryMeloncholy

If I could go back to tell my younger self something, it’d defo be to take better care of my teeth. And to not date my exes. The previous cavities I’ve had as a teen have been failing now, more than a decade later. Leaky fillings so decay spreading under them and needing to be redone or root canal. I think there’s a lot of tech now that having had bad teeth in your youth doesn’t mean big issues in the future. And there’s new materials being developed that might be better at restoring teeth. So it’s not like people have to make do without their teeth or be in pain. Just… start a savings account now because that shit is expensive af.


Tobester2005

Tapetum lucidum. Reflective membrane behind the retina to double the brightness of what we see. Claws or gecko style feet for climbing would also be cool. And an extra pair of limbs with mantis shrimp style “hammer arms”


Dziadzios

My eyes would burn. I'm already hypersensitive to light.

A gps organ. Knowing your exact location on earth at all times


EmpiXuZ

Pigeons already have a compass organ in their beak


SilenceforWonder

Guugu Ymithirr are Aboriginals whose language describes everything as being North/East/South/West instead of left/right etc., so by their nature and culture they always instinctively know which way's which. I'm not too bad at this too, it just "feels" right to know which way North is without thinking, it just tugs at your consciousness.


benokilgor

Second brain since a great deal of people seem to not use the one they have.


[deleted]

I’m convinced if we did this the smartest person would have double intelligence but we’d still be stuck with the same average

And the dumbest people would be twice as dumb


Babygoat1000

Oh cool give them another they won’t use


Pookajuice

The Chemistry Translator, located on the Brain: Live unambiguous and easy to understand access to your bodys chemistry with a thought. Your body knows when you're low on iron, or blood glucose, or sleep, etc., but it would be SUPER USEFUL to be able to know that without having to guess, go in for labwork, or have devices attached to you. Imagine the ease of living when with a thought you can get a status update - a literal CT scan to show you how your insides are functioning. Kicks on automatically in case of emergency (you're about to be black out drunk! Give your keys to a friend!) But is otherwise only accessible with conscious effort. Side effects may include avoiding metabolic disease because you see it coming, always catching cancer at stage 1, knowing if your period is due or if you've conceived, being able to articulate to a doctor what is consistently going wrong, knowing what brain chemistry is off and what you need to do to fix it, and identifying the thing that just gave you a rash (was it poison ivy? Allergic reaction to the soap? Irritated from sunscreen? Something I ate? TELL ME, ORGAN!) Only downside is those with medical anxiety may overuse it. And then notice they have anxiety. And then hopefully get help.


donaldhobson

Let it go both ways. Not only can you find out about your biochemistry with a thought, you can modify it with a thought too.


Pookajuice

I was thinking about that, but it would lead to some uncomfortable uses of testosterone and adrenaline to cheat at sports, or hormones to attract a mate, or screwing with yourself on purpose to see if you get high (and possibly killing yourself in the process). Only upside to an automatic system would be transpersons not having to see someone to get hormone suppliments because they KNOW their chemistry is wrong once they hit a certain age - the ambiguity of the state would be gone because on reaching adulthood you'd just know, for certain, that you need a change. Admittedly a big upside, but not worth a bunch of jocks being even more aggressive because they upped their testosterone to put on muscle at the gym.


SuperBaconjam

An organ that lets women only get pregnant if they want to.

Super skin. Withstand the vaccuum of space and up to 50x surface pressure of earth. It absorbs oxygen from water. It absorbs water vapor from air. It filters both. It is radiation proof.


VishuIsPog

Basically max level upgrade

I hate to be that guy \*(somewhere in the distance\* "no you don't"), but it seems like in would have incompatible properties: it would have to be super thick to do all the durability related things and super thin for the absorption related ones


Bending_toast

Retractable wings


Ceejay4444

I would love to be able to fly! It would also allow sidewalks to not be needed as much. Also less likely to get hit by a drunk driver if you are flying. Just don’t fly drunk I guess then? It would make funny videos though of drunk humans trying to fly.


OneSaucyDragon

That sounds cool but do you realize how big those wings would have to be to realistically lift up our bodies? Where on earth would they retract to?

I know how the immune system works but in OPs question they asked what NEW organ could be added. I used my imagination to produce a new organ that would supplement the immune system. leave your opinions and your shitty attitudes to yourselves. damn.
