Genes 'to blame for infidelity'
Some people may be genetically programmed to be unfaithful, a scientist claims.

Professor Tim Spector, of the Twin Research Unit at St Thomas's Hospital, London, says sutdies of twins suggest a genetic component to infidelity.

If one of a pair of women twins has a history of infidelity, the chances her sister will also stray are about 55 per cent, he claims.

And the tendendy for the pair to be either faithful of unfaithful is strongest in identical twins, who have the same genes, he says.

1. Hmmm..........
OK, my sister in law wants me to pork her (even my Wife knows that).....but I find her unattractive......(fortunately, my Wife knows that too!) now does that mean that there's a more than even chance that my Wife is unfaithful?

Just asking, mind you.

2. Funny and may be true. Think it maybe just the history of life.
People have been doing it since we have had history notes around so I would say it is in the genes of humans.
