Hmm, looks like I can't dm you either for some reason.

Transhumanism is basically a school of thought that argues we should improve humanity through developing body modifying tech, for various reasons, including improving our intellectual capacity, extending lifespan and generally overcoming the limitations of human existence. It's very popular in science fiction.

Your idea of overcoming racism by making racial characteristics modifiable is a great example.

Yes, I agree it should be accessible to everyone once the medicine is perfected. These cosmetic adaptations will eventually become less costly and accessible to most, and may help break down prejudices, as well allow people to live in the flesh they see themselves as internally.

Sounds like you are interested in Transhumanist ideas, perhaps? I find them fascinating, both as a potentially positive and negative force in society.
