Question Would you embrace mutation

I imagine this has been pondered here before ? But would you embrace becoming a mutant (in the X-Men sense of the word).

If you were told you could actually choose to become a mutant (by taking a pill for example) but you had no choice or idea what the mutation would be . . . . would you do it.

It could be something awesome like the ability to control metal, regeneration, flight, etc or it could be something less desirable like turning blue and hairy, or becoming extremely flatulent . . . just about anything.

Would you take the leap

of course, I always hate the people who have these awesome powers and yet feel they are the victims because of it. sure nobody wants to end up looking like a melted foot, but well worth the risk for the ability to control the weather or walk through walls

Not sure. Wasn't there a bunch of mutants in the Marvel universe that had less than spectacular powers?

What if you got the power of incredibly potent body odor?

Your sweat becomes an incredibly strong acid that your skin isn't affected by?

Be able to blow down buildings with a single fart?

Imagine how bad things could go.

If mutation was like it is in the X-Men, I imagine most people would take the chance to have the power. Just look how many people take steroids to have an edge in athletics. You KNOW most would jump at the chance to have superhuman abilities even if it was a slight chance.

Unfortunately, in the real world in which we actually live, mutation means "cancer". That's what cancer is...mutated cells...bummer.

Not real world though. I'm talking X-Men style mutations. So you might become fast, powerful, control the weather . . . Or you might be able to lay your own eggs and spit acid. You don't know until you get it.

I don't believe we've evolved enough as a species to not be quickly corrupted by any advantage we might have over one another. We'd be hunted down and killed in no time.

Too many "ifs" to consider before taking the mutant pill.

While I would accept it, I wouldn't be able to take a pill unless I was able to be one of the "pretty" mutants. I couldn't be a Morlock.

It's horrible to say -- but while I would embrace all mtuants, I couldn't be saddled with bad powers/features.

And now I feel super shallow. Honest. But shallow.

I would take any "power". So far they are all at least worth having. If I had to be blue or have a tail so be it. They all still seem to be able to get hot chicks without a lot of trouble.
