Some cosmetic changes would be helpful

EDITOR—I have some more requests to add to Brown's "Letterto God" to improve on the human body.¹

God, when you fashioned us although Your intentions for creatingbody hair were noble, in the present climate neither men norwomen desire it except for on the scalp. Perhaps You could increasethe density of scalp hair at the expense of body hair? Althoughit is creating jobs for cosmetic surgeons and beauticians, bodyhair is unsightly therefore please could You create the newversion of a human being without the body hair?

Perhaps You could avoid extreme skin colours and just give everybodya uniform but different shade of a suntan.

Some sort of robust framework (internal bra) for the breastsin women would be beneficial for management and organisationof mammary tissue.
