I Think it would be better to "BE", than not, Don't You?
But there is another possibility that such findings, when and if they pinpoint exactly the mechanism that triggers homosexual development, will merely fuel pressure to then come up with a “cure” for homosexuality, leaving society with another ethical dilemma: If medicine could interrupt and reverse the development of same-sex preference, given that this has been a variable in human development for our entire history, should it be permitted?

Will I someday cease to be? I’m not talking about “me” exactly. I’m talking about people like me. The emotional argument would be to use terms such as “extermination”, or “genocide” to describe this action, but that is not totally accurate. You can’t have extermination over something that never existed.
So, by finding the cause of homosexuality, and “curing” it, I would never exist. Or, I should say, people like me would never exist.
And if I never existed, would there be anyone around to make the argument that I should have existed? But wait, they wouldn’t know to make that argument would they? Because I would never have existed.
In the movie, “I, Robot”, Sunny, the robot who is about to be killed (taken “off line”) says before the procedure is completed, “I hope that you can find out what is wrong with me. I think it would be better not to die, don’t you?”
While I’m still around, or, I should say, people like me are still around, I would like to say, while I still have the chance, “I think it would better to exist, don’t you?”





I have always said that we should be glad that the argument of nature/nurture continues, because if it is ever conclusively proved that it is nature, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will soon be drugs on the market to take during pregnancy that will ensure that your child turns out nice and straight...
On a slightly different subject, the UK showed a program last week "Sad To Be Gay" with this late 30's guy, disillusioned with the gay scene, "investigated" the possibility of being turned straight... Off he went to Love In Action who, like most of these organizations, used God and prayer as the solution for becoming straight... Unsurprisingly, it didn't work... As it happens, the subject of the program's issues weren't really anything to do with being gay, but more to do with growing up in care and yearning for a family... Even without resorting to God, that was all pretty obvious...
