Roselli believes that exposure to hormones while still in the mother's womb may affect the brain and cause differences in sexual preference, and more experiments will aim to show whether this is true.

This brings up the question of a "cure". Suppose a mother is told by a doctor that her fetus has to much of xx hormone or too little of xx hormone (which ever the case maybe) and she decides that she doesnt want a gay son (for whatever reason; grandchildren etc) so she recieves "hormone" treatment.

Gays have portrayed themselves as a minority group like blacks, hispanics, women etc.... I wonder what their response would be if through hormone treatment homosexuality could be eliminated.

Ah.. the links you find when typing "gay sheep" into a search engine.

Texans. Out to show that horns don't necessarily disqualify you.

Wotan, you make it sound as if homosexuality is disease that needs a cure. When these studies make is sounds as if its a perfectly natural state.

Just thinking if I were a parent, would I want a gay kid? I think it's something I would be willing to spend some money to avoid.

Funked, I hope you never have a gay child as well.

Edit: Now if we can just find a way to breed out the blacks and the jews.

funkedup · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2002, 04:04:11 PM »

I appreciate the thought, thanks.
If the kid had the gene for alcoholism or (if they ever find such a gene) a gene for being sociopathic or violent, I'd probably want that fixed too, if it could be done. Why allow my child to have to live with genetics which will force them to commit immoral behavior? That would be tragic. If I could do something to prevent it, I would.

It wouldn't bother me if the kid was born black or jewish though. I wouldn't be willing to shell out for a procedure to rectify that. Although the hypothetical wife would have to answer some questions about that one!

How do you compare homosexuality to alcoholism and sociopathy?

funkedup · « **Reply #9 on:** November 05, 2002, 04:07:58 PM »

All are immoral behaviors. And it seems that all may have some genetic component.

The real question is how can you compare being gay with being black or jewish. That's an insult to blacks and jews.

What's immoral about it?

Theres nothing wrong with gay people (sure I make jokes from time to time). This is how you know Im not exactly a right winger nor a left. Shrug I guess Im totaly confused somewhere in the middle.

Just my opinion, putting on my bullet flame proof flak jacket now. Gona make a run for it... LATER

PS Just because somebody does something immoral doesn't mean I hate them. It doesn't mean that I am going to approve of their immoral behavior though.

I'm going to go out on a limb with this one and say:

probably the same response blacks, hispanics and women would have to being eliminated.

Homosexuality, or alcoholism or violence or sociopathy?
If you have to ask that question, then we obviously have different morals. Not much point in discussing it in that case, I think you would agree.
