If you could possessed someone else's body

[Miss Chicken]

and live his or her life, whose body would you choose?

Let's assume that the person whose body you possess isn't self-aware any more so you not stealing the body from them.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I take it we're talking bodies that are still alive, yes? Because I once came across this corpse which [That's enough - someone]

 

[Miss Chicken]

I wouldn't take the body of anyone famous but i would take the body of someone young (in their twenties). I would have to contact my sons and convince them that I was their mother.

I would try to take the body of someone who didn't have many family connections so that I wouldn't have to fake being them.

If my sons wouldn't accept who I was I would steal my cats from them.

 

[Jetfire]

There is so much I want to say but it wouldn't do me or the person I'd possess any good.

 

[Caliburn24]

It would be nice to have a younger, healthier and better looking body sure. I would love to not have to wear glasses anymore.

But to literally become a different person? You would no longer be you. Identity theft leading to your own eventually identity death.

I'm not sure it would be worth it.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Bill Gates. And make a generous birthday gift to his friend tharpdevenport, or ten million dollars.

 

[Cornholio]

I'd take the body of someone taller than I am. I'm 6' but always wanted to be like 6' 6".

I guess I should be happy at 6' since I was only 5' 7" when I graduated high school. had the unusual growth spurt when I was 20.

 

[bigdaddy]

If it was only for a day or so I would switch with friends just to see a different side of them. More so if I can read their thoughts. hehehe

 

[RandyS]

The body of a beautiful supermodel, obviously.

Oh wait, you mean "Posses" in the sci-fi sense, don't you??

No, only your body would be different, your mind would still be yours.

Supermodel: "I don't know what possessed me, but I think it fondled me. I'm sore."



Hey -- this could make a really weird, or really interesting Miscellaneous thread: "Have you ever been possessed?"

 

[farmkid]

If it was for just a short time, I would probably choose my wife. I think the experience of switching bodies for a short time would help us to understand one another better and strengthen our relationship. Alternatively, I would choose one of my children to help me understand them better.

 

[MetalPants]

Well, if I had this ability to change bodies at whim... I'd find ways to become powerful, rich, and famous, and would probably stay like that through the rest of eternity.

Actually, there was an old episode of the Twilight Zone that played this scenario out. A mobster was killed, and his body would be dumped in a nameless back alley. Some bum would then steal the corpse's shoes. After putting on the shoes, the bum was possessed by the spirit of the gangster.

No, you'd still be you.

What makes you “you” is your mind, your consciousness, your thoughts, memories, knowledge and experiences. None of that would change if you had someone else's body. It would be no different than receiving a transplanted heart or liver.

As for me, I'd like to live in the body of a woman for a while. Not permanently, but I'd be curious to know what it feels like.

(A fairly young, healthy, attractive woman, naturally!)

 

[Neeka Keet]

Richard Branson, he has my dream life.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

Karl Urban or zach quinto. Then I'd sit in front of a mirror naked and look at myself all day.

 

[gturner]

I would possess Charlize Theron's body, slap Keanu Reeves and break up with him, and then return to my own body to try and score with Charlize Theron.

If that's not possible, I would possess Michael Moore's body and eat an exploding Twinky.

If that's not possible, I would possess Amanda Tapping's body and turn around in a mirror to find out what her butt actually looks like, because you really can't figure it out by watching every episode of Stargate and Sanctuary. After that I would feed her dog because he'd be looking at me with those sad eyes and a quizical expression because Amanda probably doesn't waste too much time staring at her own butt. I know I don't.

If that's not possible I would possess the body of Betty White and go beat the snot out of Jesse James, for cheating on Sandra Bullock and divorcing Janine Lindemulder.

If that's not possible I would possess the body of John Gotti and go "Where the f*ck am I? Holy sh*t! I'm a skeleton! But wait. Where the f*ck am I?"

If that's not possible I would inhabit the body of my cat and finally put an end to the mouse's tyrannical occupation of wherever that mouse is this evening.

If that's not possible I would inhabit the body of Linday Lohan and get myself tested.

 

[RegFan]

If it's only for a short time, a healthy male. It would be interesting to know what it feels like to physically be a man. I wouldn't want a permanent change, but if I had to do it, I would choose an attractive female a bit older than I.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I'd possess Linda Park and immediately go pose for Playboy.

 

[StarMan]

James T. Kirk.
