Q

If we could create an engineered human (all ethical considerations aside) what negative impact could be created by making our metabolic processes 100% efficient (making fuel into ATP is 100% efficient and no energy is wasted)?

A

The engineered human could not thermoregulate because they would produce no excess energy as heat
