Quote by: John Should I take that to mean you think it should be illegal? |
I’m always uneasy about criminalizing anything which does not have a direct victim. When I said I was against it, I meant that I personally wouldn’t do it and that I don’t think it should be available on public health or be funded by the government in any way.
Criminalizing it is another matter though. While I don’t think it will be a good thing for society if this technology becomes available, the libertarian in me asks why people should be forced to do what’s good for society. Also, there is no way for me to prove that it will have a negative effect on society and any victims of this procedure would be purely speculative. Therefore, I don't think it should be made illegal unless it causes direct and verifiable harm.

Quote by: John I suspect in some countries that step will be taken. |
You really think it will be possible in the future? Don't you think homosexuality is more complex than a simple genetic trait?
