Moral Conflict
June 16th 2005
First, homosexuality might be linked to genetic traits, as Swedish researchers have experimented with pheremones and the biological response of straight men and women and gay men and women (straight people attract opposites, gay people attract likes).
Second, If this were true, and a “gay gene” was found, a genetic marker test could be developed to find it, and these tests could be done very early on in a person’s life. Like, in the womb.
When that happens, watch as republicans suddenly become okay with abortion.
Something to turn your head the country upside-down.
Selective breeding based on genetics scares me, but maybe the next step of evolution is controlling our evolution. Sometimes I’m glad I was born now, and not in 100 years.
Well, by controlling our evolution, we really stop evolution. Without it being natural and building on complex interactions of environment and random variation and everything else, evolution doesn’t work. We’re not smart enough to “guide” it toward the way we want without royally screwing it up, so by trying to control evolution, we really kill it, and replace it with simplistic genetic manipulation and customization. Pretty sad if you ask me.
Amazing how correct you always are. A brilliant notice, and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this will happen.
It’s scary to see what they do. You never can expect something as bad as it turns out.
gatica all over again that movie plays it out well
Well, seeing as they don’t believe in evolution to begin with, I think they’ll feel pretty good about themselves. Raises another interesting point for creationists though. If the genetic makeup is determined by God, then God has made these people gay. I guess that would mean God is ok with homosexuality?
