Nearly 90% Of UK Babies With Down's Syndrome Are Aborted New numbers released by NHS England revealed that 87.26% of all babies that are diagnosed with Down's syndrome were aborted in 2021. Sir Liam Fox MP recently tabled an amendment to stop abortion up to birth for those with Down's syndrome, pro-life organizations report. "By having a different time limit for babies with disabilities including Down’s syndrome, section 1(1)(d) of the Abortion Act, promotes inequality and perpetuates negative stereotypes. This law sends a message that people with Down’s syndrome are less worthy of life and protection than others," Don't Screen Us Out spokesperson Lynn Murray, said.

Mixed-ethnicity face shape and attractiveness in humans Anthony C Little 1 , Kimberley J Hockings, Coren L Apicella, Claudia Sousa PMID: 23586288 DOI: 10.1068/p7278 Abstract Many studies show agreement within and between populations and cultures for general judgments of facial attractiveness. Studies that have examined the attractiveness of specific traits have also highlighted cross-cultural differences for factors such as symmetry, averageness, and masculinity. One trait that should be preferred across cultures is heterozygosity. Indeed, several studies suggest that mixed ethnicity, in terms of appearing to possess a mixture of traits from different human population groups, may be found attractive, which could reflect preferences for heterozygosity. We examined preferences for manipulated face shape associated with different populations in both Europeans (Britain) and Africans (Guinea-Bissau). We found that mixed-ethnicity face shapes were more attractive than enhanced single-ethnicity face shape across both populations. These results are consistent with evolutionary theories suggesting individuals should prefer heterozygosity in partners because facial cues to mixed-ethnicity are likely to indicate diverse genes compared to cues that indicate a face belongs to a single particular culture or population. #attractiveness #genetics #heterozygosity #populationgenetics #evolutionarypsychology https:/www.youtube.com/...94c
