As the title says. For me it'll have to be my digestive system. It's too messy and inefficient at what it does. When I upload my consciousness to a computer I will not miss it at all.
 
I'm attached to all mine. Especially the digestive system. In fact, I think I'm just an unwitting slave to my gut. Any sense that I have of being an autonomous individual is illusory: my only real purpose is to maintain alimentary canal throughput.
 
All the discomfort and bad stuff in my life can somehow be linked somehow to that damn nervous system. Especially that brain organ.
 
I'd rather die than be some computer, but I wouldn't mind a mechanical spine and knees. They're not acting up now, but being bipedal takes its toll on them and they'll hurt eventually. Otherwise I'd be fully human to the bitter end.
 
I find that my need to respire is a bit limitation on my ability to swim as deeply and as far as I'd like.
 
My urinary system. The POS can't handle the massive amount of fluids I intake everyday, usually prompting one or two overnight awakenings to piddle.
 
The digestive system. Giving me grief with food poisoning and when I hit 80, my pancreas will spontaneously develop tumors that I'll discover too late like how my grandad went!
 
I'm fortunate to have good health and not any particularly strong hereditary risks (as far as I know), and it's a bit early to know if I'll have later problems in life.

But it's always nice to know in the back of my mind that my appendix could just say "frack this" and try to take me out with him.

Screw that guy.
 
I'm going to go with Wurlitzer. Now there's an organ you can hate.

My urinary system. The POS can't handle the massive amount of fluids I intake everyday, usually prompting one or two overnight awakenings to piddle.
That would likely be due to a swollen prostate.
 
Fat and skin.
 
That would likely be due to a swollen prostate.

As I understand it, a swollen prostate has its victim up 5 or 6 times a night. And micturating small amounts. Also repeatedly during the day.

Drinking copious amounts of fluid will have a normal person up in the night once. Maybe twice.

Still, all medical talk is frowned on here. For some reason.

Consult your medical practitioner. If in doubt.
