If a pill could be found that prevented the birth of homosexuals, would it be widely used?

/// Dr Dreger and her colleagues are concerned that medical attempts to prevent homosexuality will arise in the future if sexual orientation is found to be determined by human biology.///

/// 'Evidence that homosexual orientation is inborn, could very well lead to new means of pathologisation [treating it like a medical condition] and prevention,' they warned in a recent paper.///

I hope not.

The notion of 'programming' human beings should be seen as repgnant by anyone with a civilsed thought in their heads.

What's your view AOG?

[Mamyalynne]

Good grief what a dreadful thought, I doubt it would be used at all.

[missnemesis]

God forbid!!!

I can´t see the problem, in that the neonate would never know that he should have been a homosexual.

For the life of me I cannot see what advantage homosexuality bestows upon race as it is a recipe for racial oblivion.

[missnemesis]

Sqad there are plenty of people who bestow no advantage to the human race and many, many of them are so called hetrosexuals

[B00]

Not if they donate sperm Sqad. Infact a couple of hundred blokes could easily populate the planet for generations to come.

*lightbulb moment*
Lets erradicate all men!

[Sqad]

missnenessis.......by not bestowing a biological advantage, I mean that homosexuals cannot reproduce and any genetic make up specifically for homosexuality would be a disadvantage to the race.

[McMouse]

Need more than a couple of hundred boo or the gene pool would be too restricted.

[Sqad]

BOO.....I don´t think that "sperm donation" was envisaged either by our maker or Darwin.

[ChuckFickens]

I assume you mean "by our maker" as in your parents?

[B00]

ok ok ok McMouse, you get the gist though....right?

[Sqad]

chuck......no........the "great Creator".........or whatever.

[missnemesis]

I get what you're saying Sqad but there are plenty of hetrosexuals who permanently use some sort of contraception and have no intention of ever becoming parents. Without making babies to continue the human race what good are they bestowing?

[McMouse]

//by not bestowing a biological advantage, I mean that homosexuals cannot reproduce and any genetic make up specifically for homosexuality would be a disadvantage to the race//.
I beg to differ sqad. I know a lesbian woman who received a sperm donation from a homosexual friend and she now has an extremely healthy baby.

[Sqad]

Butch...that has nothing to do with the question asked by AOG.

[Sqad]

McMouae...that is now..........but at the beginning of life, what value to the human race would be a homosexual gene?

[McMouse]

Sqad I am not pro homosexuality but do acknowledge that many of these people have made an outstanding contribution to literature, performing and creative arts etc. so our lives have been enriched by them.

To suggest that homosexuals are incapable of reproducing is sheer nonsense. One only has to look at Edward II (1307 - 1327). Whilst he might have much rather preferred to dally with his catamite, when the call came he did not not shirk his duty and produced 4 lusty chidren via Queen Isabella.
