We investigate the notion of generosity, a particular case of non-selfishness. Let F be a family of sets in Rk. A set M⊂Rk is called F-convex if for any points x,y∈M there is a set F∈F such that x,y∈F and F⊂M. We call a family F of compact sets complete if F contains all compact F-convex sets. A single convex body K will be called generous, if the family of all convex bodies isometric to K is not complete. We investigate here the generosity of convex bodies.
