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

    God, when you fashioned us although Your intentions for creating body hair were noble, in the present climate neither men nor women desire it except for on the scalp. Perhaps You could increase the density of scalp hair at the expense of body hair? Although it is creating jobs for cosmetic surgeons and beauticians, body hair is unsightly therefore please could You create the new version of a human being without the body hair?

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

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