But still... I think it may have been a hint, and here's why. Robots can distinguish species. Bender did know the whole time, if only subconsciously. Check his reboot sequence in the Birdbot of Ice-Catraz. Leela is immediately identified as human. This is yet another hint that writers put in... or is it?

What I don't understand is how someone could live to be 25 in the year 3000 and not undergo a single DNA test. You'd think it would be fairly standard to identify genetic disorders.
Unless anyone who would have just said, "Eh, you're an alien. What's the point? We don't know anything about your species' DNA. Do you even HAVE DNA? I'd find out if I wasn't so lazy."

But I'f she's the only one of her kind they have nothing to compare it against. They have no need to test her because they can see she aint human. And aliens aren't really A big thing on earth.
God, I can't believe I've succumbed to reading into futurama....

Originally posted by Evil Abe: I would think that DNA test is a routine medical produce in the year 3000. Used to tell if you are at risk for disease and so forth. Leela was able to find Frys only living relative using a DNA database in the pilot. I would think as a citizen she would be put into it eventually. If so, then it would determine her to be human not alien. (This is not to be contrused as reading into futurama in any way. I'm just setting the record straight) DNA tests arent as thorough as You'd think. They simply compare parts to other parts. You could look at Many lines of DNA and not be able to tell which animal its from. Besides, If they could get away with swapping career chips without anyone noticing then obviously DNA identification isnt overly popular. GOD1 I've done it again.
