Whether you approve of this or not is irrelevant; their stated aim is to be profitable. They do this by setting their rates (as far as possible) to be attractive to everyone. This includes men and women of all ages and races; the life insurance companies have nothing to gain through discrimination, and in fact have potential customers to lose. Assuming (as several netters have) that there is bias *on the part of the insurace company* is false; they're just out to turn a buck, and don't really give two hoots where it comes from. --Bernie Roehl ...decvax!watmath!watarts!bernie
