Curing the gay: a sceintifc scenario

And she got her boobs reduced.

Well sorta.  She got her fake boobs made smaller.  And there is something to respect about reality TV?

I'm generally against designer babies. Not because of moral issues with it, but because many parents are stupid and I don't trust them to make good choices. Just look at some of the names that parents, esp. from less educated, lower classes, give their kids. Do we want such people deciding genetic makeups of their kids? I think not.

What defines a designer baby? Right now if there's a prenatal test for a genetic defect or has symptoms that are detectable by early ultrasounds, parents tend to abort it more often than not. There's certainly a lot of negative selection going on already.

I tend to favor the fraternal birth order hypothesis given the observation that the probability of being gay increases for every older brother that you have. It's not thought to be a hormonal thing.  Maternal antibodies to "maleness" are thought to increase in titer with every successive male pregnancy (interspersed female births seem to have no effect.) No one's been able to definitively prove the existence of such antibodies though. Although this is probably just one of many physiological, genetic, epigenetic, and social factors that determine heterosexuality vs homosexuality.

Curing the ghey might give you diabetes, cancer or premature balding.

It would definitely give you a severe case of un-fabulousness.

My theory still stands.

And Marty certainly lacks taste and class.

Katie Price?

Wait this woman named her daughter Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther Andre?  That just screams trashy person.

She's a clever businesswoman who has made millions out of manipulating the media despite her not actually being more than slightly pretty.

But yes, complete trash

It would be a tremendous loss for the arts.

Would it?  It's not like being gay automatically gives someone artisitic gifts and good taste.  I can think of a pseudo-Russian example of this on this very board.

Our fags are better than their fags.

It vastly improves the odd though

"Evolution is cleverer than you are."

I fail to see how this is relevant unless gays are able to metabolize proteins that straights are not.

I can think of some proteins that gays are a lot more likely to metabolize...

I was beginning to think nobody was going to go there.  Thanks for restoring my faith in Languish.
