Curing the gay: a sceintifc scenario

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

Well, I don't think they are going to turn into Dinosaurs.  If I recall from that novel, the opposite was happening.  Female animals were spontaneously turning male (due to sloppy genetics) thus allowing breeding pairs.

I think that designer babies would lead to a reduction in genetic diversity as people favoured "good" genes over the "bad". Such a reduction would reduce the survivability of the species in the long term.

Yeah.  And it wouldn't be long before someone like Jordan created a gay baby they can go shopping with

It's the woman's body. She can kill it but she can't design it? Fuck that.

It is relevant because it is a simple explanation why all forms of eugenics, social darwinism and attempts at designing homo superior. Furthermore the idea that gentic engineering can cure gayness is also a misunderstaniding on the nature of the effects of genes (I'm taking no position on the genetic origin of gheyness, for that I refer you to [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation]twin studies[/url]). The best way to put it is that every gene affects everything. Curing the ghey might give you diabetes, cancer or premature balding.

There are a few cases of single mutations/genes that can be removed or replaced which will remove succeptability to a particular disease or genetic mutation.

Whose Jordan?

Sharks do it.  Some species of shark females can spontaneously pop out future Mono appetizers by themselves.

She belongs to the world.

Well, I didn't actually designate it as genetic.  As I point outed out in the OP, it's not actually known.  It's very likely the result of a certain balance of hormones in womb.  Are you arguing that all attempts to alter a child in the womb are destine to failure?  That attempts to prevent say, birth defects are folly?

Or does the question itself make you uncomfortable?  I could see why it would.  If you don't want to participate in the discussion on those grounds, I understand.  I knew the question had uncomfortable ramifications when I asked it.  I think the question bothers Marty as well.

Katie Price:

You really are so truely ghey. Any self respecting male would have show her boobs as well.

I don't think lesbians will be evolve parthenogenesis anytime soon.   Marty is even less likely.

[Sheilbh]

I'm respecting her choice to move from glamour model Jordan to reality TV star Katie Price. 

And she got her boobs reduced.

I don't think lesbians will be evolve parthenogenesis anytime soon.

Lord knows what they're up to.

Katie Price?

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