I've posted the OP and I'm honestly not sure if this should go on. There's no reason  to take it down but dammit I'm surprised by the responses of what I thought was an intelligent community.

Take a look at either religious threads or at a few of the threads about gay rights. I'm not surprised by these replies ^^

There are a lot of interesting question marks regarding the discussions in this thread though, things like "doing the right thing" and "being a real man".

Right thing (or real man/woman) according to who? And why? Because these things are NOT universal truths. Never have been. There is no oracle to ask, no instruction manual to refer too. These are questions everyone has to answer for themselves.

Some knuckle-draggers in here seem not to understand this very basic point. Most days humanity is barely tolerable as an intelligent species and reading through some of these responses is truly an intellectual embarrassment.

Formula:

1. Post opinion without justification.

2. Claim anyone who disagrees is [insert nonsense: e.g. not a real man, inhumane, stupid, etc]

This shit wouldn't fly in any acadmic institution on the entire planet, yet these blockheads think this is a sufficient response?
