The perfect brain. I would then have the knowledge to fix my body.
-
Definetly perfect brain. My body isn't perfect now, and I'm still happy and loved.
-
I'd choose a perfect brain because you can achieve "the perfect body" through proper exercise and diet; whereas, you cannot accomplish getting the "perfect brain."
-
I'm changing my answer. Since joining the site, I have matured a lot. I would not want perfect either. Perfection is something everyone strives to, but to be honest, what is perfect? Perfect isn't real, and I for one would rather be real then perfect
-
I'd pick a perfect body, I already have a perfect brain.
-
DAMN! That's a good question, kudos to the askee. I would go for the body but only if i could keep my current brain.
-
i would like the perfect brain.
-
i'd take the perfect body, because without a perfect brain, it couldn't be a perfect body, so i would, by taking the perfect boy, also get a perfect brain
-
I'd choose a "perfect" body. Genius doesn't make you happy; most of the time it makes you miserable and isolated. Given the choice, though? I'd actually take neither.
-
Body. My brain is suited for its purposes and I would feel really out of place with a perfect brain. Perfect body would be fun, though.
-
What IS a perfect brain? One that sees everything the same every time? And a perfect brain would have "run the probabilities" on every bit of potential experience and could never be surprised. A perfect brain probably couldn't kid around. It would be literal. I have to think how much of our pleasure in life is due to discovering things. There would be no problems to solve; the perfect thinking machine would already have worked it through. Dunno. That doesn't sound like fun to me. I'll keep this brain and this body, I think.

I would go with the perfect body...I already have the perfect brain (for me) !!!

Give me the perfect brain and I will just have to work hard getting that perfect body(though that will never happen)
-
Perfection - and all concepts of perfection - are false, as perfection does not exist and can never be achieved.
-
A perfect mind could help you be motivated to achieve a perfect body
-
I could be the ugliest sea toad in the world, which I'm not, but you wouldn't know that because you are not judging me by my looks here. I get positive ratings because one of you appreciated what my mind was capable of. II say while none of can claim to be perfect, we do have our moments so I rule in favor of the mind. An average body would be just fine and Jim Dandy for me.
-
Okay, as someone pointed out perfection doesnt exist, so would you rather have a good mind or a good body?
-
Neither is possible. I would like to have a functional and healthy body and an excellent mind.
-
considering that perfection is impossible, i should think a fantastic body as near to perfection as you can imagine would be a lot more valuable. you would be very healthy living a long life. the income you could generate with such a body would be sensational..... so you could afford to educate yourself and develop your mind. ;-)

The most important is this, I think: "Mens sana in corpore sano" (A sound mind in a sound body) "The original connotation of the phrase is that health of mind and body is good in itself and something to be rightly desired, as opposed to beauty, wealth, or power." "Its most general usage is to express the concept of a healthy balance in one’s mode of life." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_sana_in_corpore_sano

i dont think either exists
-
Given that neither are possible, I would prefer a better mind to body. The body is just packaging to attract attention, while the mind is a gift beyond compare.
-
I will take a half perfect body and a half perfect mind because that is as good as it gets. I just divided my "perfection" up in two places.
-
Personally I do not believe perfection is a state that can be acheived. I would prefer a mind that was close to perfection . A body that is perfect to one person may well be abhorrant to another,also a form of so called bodily perfection could be obtained by surgery.
-
The brain is the part of your body ... need to say more?
-
I think i would like the perfect body as i have a good enough brain.
-
The perfect brain.
-
The perfect body I already have a perfect brain :+}}
-
Well if I had a perfect brain then my body will become perfect with all that money I make with my smarts(wink).
-
I would opt for the perfect brain -- with which I would be able to achieve the perfect body on my own.
-
Perfect brain. Then I wouldn't have these ghastly disorders, AS and ATXN3.
-
Perfect brain; then I wouldn't have depression and so on, and I could achieve a perfect body by working out with no imperfect apathy stopping me. :P
-
I'd love to have the perfect brain! Then I could ace the GRE!
-
At this point in my life, I'd love a half perfect body, one that was more responsive and not so often in pain, one that could go hiking over mountains and lifting 100 pound bags of feed again. The brain works pretty good already.
-
Can I take half of each...that would be enough to satisfy me!
-
Neither, there would be nothing to improve on. Already difficult as it is...lol
-
Perfect brain. I look good enough, I'm just not brilliant enough yet :(
-
I enjoy having both.
-
If you mean a perfect body as in attractiveness, I would choose the brain, since attractiveness can be attained by diet, exercise and IF it comes right down to it, surgery. +5
-
I'm not sure what a perfect brain is. One comparable to Einsteins or just perfect asymetry?
-
Considering I don't have either I would go for the brain! I think it would be interesting!
-
That depends...If I could have the perfect body with the brains Ive got now, I'd take body, but if the perfect body came with no brains Id go for the brains.
-
A perfect brain... You can always work out and eat less, but you can't correct STUPID!
-
Perfect brain.
-
perfect mind. . beauty doesn't hold a candle to genius.
-
It goes back down to the point that there is no such thing as perfect, depends if you get to choose how it is, if so, then it could be perfect, personally, I would choose brain.
-
brain as then i could make it so my body did what i wanted it to :)
