I would like to discuss the topic of having scissors instead of hands. If we had a person with scissors instead of hands, it would be strange. The main advantage of this kind of person is that he would definitely become famous. It would be easy for him to cut plants, salads, vegetables, fruit, even people and animals. The main disadvantage is that they would be inconvenient to handle. You can't play bowling. You can accidentally pinch a water bed. It will be difficult to eat and use sensor cellphone. I think these hands are dangerous. It is possible to cut yourself by chance. They will be hard to live with. So, if I were offered to change hands to scissors, I would refuse.
