Design flaws in the human body

Oh where to start. Stuff not wearing out. Muscles and tendons not tearing. Meniscii not tearing. No bone spur growth. Chainsaw proof skin. A brain that isnt susceptible to PTSD. Good eyesight and hearing with no degradation over time. And a third arm for when you're trying to do stuff/ladies.

I think a lot of those could be considered 'upgrades' rather than bug fixes 
oh, and that 3rd arm thing.... Genius
The lens in your eye hardens over time, becoming less flexible and thus limiting your ability to focus on things close up.
Hence why everyone gets to 40 and decides menu fonts are too small, but of course it's because the lighting is bad and the menu just has to be held at arm's length

One of the few advantages of being short-sighted is that you can simply remove your glasses, and the small stuff like writing on a menu snaps back into focus. Since you need your glasses for anything further than arms-length though, you tend to always have them on, whereas people who need glasses only for reading seem to forget them a lot more often.Hence why everyone gets to 40 and decides menu fonts are too small, but of course it's because the lighting is bad and the menu just has to be held at arm's length
Balls. I don't care if I'm infertile from the heat. They shouldn't be out there.
Lighter skin colours. I find it genuinely incredible that if it's exposed to that big thing in the sky for more than a few minutes it will be seriously damaged. A few unbroken hours and it's a medical emergency.
I get the vitamin D thing but there's got to be a middle ground somewhere.
Other than that I'm impressed anyone emerges from their mother's ring piece with any type of functionality considering how much there is to go wrong.

Surely these should be classified as evolution flaws rather than 'design' flaws? Some of the problems we encounter today stem from evolutionary responses to problems of the day with some compromises as trade-offs.
As for placing the waste disposal system adjacent to, and sharing parts with, the reproductive system well it does sort of work which is all that nature requires.
