According to a BBC 1 documentary looks can (or at least did) tell the observer weather the observee has certain problems.
For example, lots of men like blondes, the programme said that it was because things like spots appear clearer on them than brunette, which apparently has some connection to their health.
Oh, BTW, Richard Dawkins had a good idea of how to make humans live longer, it goes something like this:
"If the law were to be changed so that people could only reproduce after 40 then genes which pre-disposed their gene-machine (human) would be weeded out of the gene-poole." - (it's a quote from memory)
It's not a bad idea.
I think that the abortion law should be used on all embryos. I.e. if it isn't aborted before a certain time it is given human rights. Apparently new-born babies don't have a conciousness anyway, i think.
