you know weird girls.

Are they going to figure out how the fix the grown up ones that are gay, too?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm against outlawing research or restricting it

Ditto. So, I don't see anything wrong with this, or turning babies gay, if you want.

Though I'm sure Ozzy is going to come by and say "AGEIST"

kids are like 8.7% more likely to be gay if they have older brothers as opposed to 5.2%..... something like taht. dont quote me, i just kno its around there.... so the 12th kid should be without a doubt gay.

Our societies already give a largely free hand to parents to warp their children in almost any way they please. How is this any different?

I don't really have a problem with this. To be honest, as much as I support gay rights, I wouldn't really care if homosexuality disappeared from the Earth completely.

Then again, I also wouldn't care if heterosexuality disappeared from the Earth completely, so long as the human species still had a way to propagate itself.

If there's no actual discrimination against a group of people involved, it's a non-issue to me.

In the name of science? No problem. Important to explore.

The actual application of this in normal life? Disagreed. If you'd be able to do this, .. it would implicate that there's something wrong with gay people, and they need to be 'fixed'. I find this highly Orwellian and against the rights of an individual. Absolutely and conclusively NO.

Just because I'm not gay, or I don't understand the attraction in it, it doesn't mean others aren't allowed to know it, feel it, do it. Why do I think I have the right to restrict the lives of other people who are not harming me? I don't have that kind of power. Besides, from religious point of view, why would we think we need to fix God's work? Obviously they were intended to be gay, or if not, God is making mistakes and is imperfect, in which case the whole case rumbles down.

Maybe we should leave gays alone, as in admit that there's nothing wrong in them? What's wrong in them? Until I see what's wrong, that needs a fix, I believe there's nothing wrong in gay people.

I'd much rather fix the babies who will become fat and bigots too.

LOL they already are.

[Pekka]

In what way? I don't mean in scientific exploration, that's fine by me. We need to do that stuff IMO. But for this to be actually applied as a normal procedure, that's another story.

[Lorizael]

I was making a stupid joke. Gay sex = no babies = fixed.

[Pekka]

I never joke when I talk about gays. So it was only natural I didn't get it.

[Lorizael]

I'm sorry. I know how important the gays are to you, Pekka.
