a) What body parts most define us as human?
In my opinion, the eyes, the hands, the mouth, and the back are those body parts which best embody human characteristics.
b) What body part(s) you would least want to live without?
I would least want to live without my eyes or my hands, for without them I could neither perceive the world in the way I prefer nor alter the world in the most basic way, via touch.
c) What would you look like if you increased the size of your most significant parts and diminished the size of others?
Any alterations to the standard human body provoke feelings of unease in the observer. I expect that any drastic changes in the scale of primary body parts would give me a rather unnatural appearance. Larger eyes would make it look as if I were either always supersized or always observing the world around me a bit too intensely. To large a mouth and people world begin to fear that I might eat them, silly as that sounds. Hands that were too big would make me look like a bumbly freak, waving over sized mittens around to the great incontinence of all those in my immediate vicinity. Too large or broad a back would make me look heavy, incorrectly proportioned and hunched under my own weight. If you greatly diminish the sizes of all the things mentioned above, the visual effect it would have on the obsurver would be opposite to the ones I have already described.
