Immortality

Free quality healthcare worldwide. If i take two people with me, can i also have a cure for Alzheimer's/dementia and affordable food that meets minimum daily requirements.

It's really a shame that we have a state in my country named Ohio, but not one named Obyeo. So that would be my wish. For my country to have an Obyeo.

For the world to be truly united into a democratic representative utopia. A world without war, without famine, without global warming. At the heart of all issues is, despite the fact we're all so close to each other, that we operate and behave in our own self interests or to the detriment of each other. I'd wish for all borders to be opened. Everyone to be given a unquestionable bare minimum set of human rights across the globe. Removal of diplomatic immunity and forced standardisation of laws with the goal of levelling the living standards of all people. Etc. World peace but with a foundation to keep it going I think.

That altruism becomes the most potent force on the planet.

Can I wait until I'm 100 years old?

While it's a shame to waste a powerful wish I quite enjoy being alive.

Yes, for a peaceful world free of war, famine, and disease.

That people were magically able to understand, sympathise and accept other people's lives and lived experiences. A world where everyone was accepted as who they are, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

Everyone from this point forward gets to live a life at least as comfortable mine is now and humanty makes it to spread across the stars

I’d wish for all present and future humans to have much greater empathy. I think a lack of empathy is at the root of most major problems. I would happily die to fix that.

The power to choose, just before dying, to come back to life as a healthy 30 y/o.

But you probably meant only selfless acts allowed, hence the "sacrifice" verbiage. In that case, instantaneous worldwide post-scarcity society. That'd address most of the world's ills, eventually. Being ultra-rich means nothing in post-scarcity; not needing Middle-East oil and African mineral resources would eliminate most international meddling in those locations. While it wouldn't immediately address climate change or cure all diseases, it'd mean enough food and energy for everyone, and it'd give us the means to accomplish these.

If so many of us weren't spending all our time working just to feed, clothe, and house ourselves, we could accomplish much as a species.

That humanity never existed and will never exist.

Well now my wish is redundant, so... I dunno, a nice meal first?

And not a monkey’s paw moment.

Btw this would be a good monkey's paw question

Ghosts are now real and have all the powers they have in all movies, books, games etc. made about them

Universal healthcare in the United States.

I wish to not sacrifice my life and still be granted my wish.

Complete inversion of entropy

Me from roughly 5 years ago gets his dreams fulfilled

To be reincarnated as me with mutant healing ability and 17 Billion tax-free dollars in the bank.

A meteorite to reset it all

I'd wish for humanity to transcend our physical form and live in a virtual world as gods.

For the people who depend on me for safety, for income, for having a place to live, for having someone to have their back, for advice, for learning how to be independent, for figuring out their unusual health issues, for having a broader perspective on current events, ....

To have the support they need, or never need it again. I love the people around me, but if I had a choice I wouldn't be here
