Would you put your brain in a robot body?

Does it have to be a human body and to what degree can I customize it? Like can I be a dragon with eight legs, angel and demon wings, and three cocks?

It wouldn't be fundamentally different, but the crux of the argument is essentially 'Does every naturally occurring human oddity have a moral obligation to be expressed?'

So, would it be different from a pill that fixes sickle cell anemia? Would you take one and not the other?

What is the quantifiable thing that makes sexuality or race a thing which should be expressed, and which makes debilitating illnesses a thing which should not be expressed?

I assume everyone has a nicely developed gut instinct that says yes to the former and no to the latter but it's kind of hard to explain why from first principles.

The illness actively does harm to the individual while everything else is an aspect of who they are.

And don't you dare respond by saying that people in a racial, sexual, and gender minority also experience harm because that harm is in no way comparable to a debilitating disease.
