I predicted this kind of “final solution” would occur to fundamentalists soon. I also believe that finding such a “gay gene” (likely a combination influences the orientation) will be possible long before any manipulation will–so “pro-life” conservatives will suddenly support selective abortions–for fetuses that will likely become gay. In fact, the fear of “designer kids” has made me more conservative on abortion than before.

Any manipulation of a gene to prevent the expression of a gay gene or simply the detection of one would require a needle to be placed into the placental fluid at least. Such a maneuver would have (or in the past had) a rate of 1 in 200 fetal loss. The result (including unintended results) of such experimentation would then not be entirely clear for at least twenty to fifty years.

The risk of carrying a fetus that could become a gay adult would have to be individually calculated and it would because of the above stated risk have to be at least greater than 1/200. Determining risk would be very difficult until such a gene was isolated and members of the general public willing to disclose their sexual preferences and provide genetic material for testing were studied in large numbers.

No Institutional Review Board would consider such testing or experimentation to be ethical given the fact that it would be hard in todays climate to suggest that a great deal of harm or disability would be the result of doing nothing.

I agree that gayness is probably more determined by a combination of gene affects and complex pychosocial influences and as much as we may want to control that it is not likely to happen in this life.

Mohler should stick to disertations on Calvinism. In some minds a gay person would probably not be a predestined person so abortion might seem a kind alternative to some. I won’t speak for Mohler.

So, let me get this straight. There’s only ONE reason in the entire world that it is NOT ok to kill a pre-born child? As the pro-aborts are fond of saying regularly “Who are YOU to decide for ANY woman what to do with her body?” But, it’s ok to kill a pre-born child because he or she will grow up poor or fatherless or adopted or with a mental or physical disability?

I am laughing my butt off at some of the comments from “pro-choice” people who are also “pro-gay”. Some of them are verbatim from pro-life organization sites. They fail to see the irony in their “suddenly offended” objections. The horror of the gay community is understandable, yet the pro-aborts have consistently discounted the same objections to abortion that disability advocate groups have had for decades. NO ONE has the right to decide whether a life is worthy of being lived…except God.

Quite a dilemma, no? The hypocrisy is overwhelming yet predictable, and I’m watching closely to see how the pro-aborts handle this one.
