| Mr Khan said: While it was a victory for GLBT folks to get their status classified as biological, but then that does raise a host of problems. I doubt they'd like being called mutants (which strictly technically would be true), anymore than they liked the insistence that their lifestyle was a choice (which still persists itself in some sectors).
Raises interesting ethical questions, as to whether it would be right to "cure" homosexuality. Also raises the intersting idea of whether we could genetically engineer race, which would also lead to a whole host of fun political/philosophical dilemmas. |
Well in a way we're all mutants. We all have mutations.
However I thought the general consensus was that homosexuality was mostly caused by hormones in the womb, in which case they aren't mutants (as it's not caused by a mutation) and their lifestyle isn't a choice.
Also engineering babies is a bad bad road to go down. Keep it to stopping devestating genetic dieseases please.
