Ten percent of male sheep (rams) are apparently gay, & scientists are trying to maket them straight. (Link below)
FINDINGS: The hypothalmus in the brain is smaller in gay rams. By giving baby rams hormones, they have some success in making them straight.
While the "treatment" often works, it doesn't always.
CHRISTIAN DILEMMAS:
1. Gay men also have smaller hypothalmuses, indicating a biological basis for mammalian homosexuality.
2. Human prenatal test will be developed to show if baby boys might be gay. Parents who don't want to raise gay children may abort their fetuses.
3. Ram treatment sometimes fails; the goal is only to produce more sheep. If given to humans, the hormones must be given to children. There may be physical or behavioral side effects, & many will still grow up gay.
?s:
Do Christians support such research?
Does biology contribute to gayness?
Are gay people part of God's plan?
Are such abortions justified?
Should experiments on at-risk children take place?
