[quote name="Senor Barborito Metafilter Post"]One thing that concerns me is that if further research does prove beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt that orientation is determined in utero, homosexuality might be classified as a 'birth defect' as a result. You can bet that evangelical fundamentalists would jump on this and would begin mounting pressure for androgen monitoring for pregnant women ostensibly in order to 'prevent possible birth defects,' but really to bring society in line with their preestablished beliefs. Whether or not homosexuality should be 'cured' if we had the means to do so seems like it would be a very, very nasty debate. posted by Ryvar at 1:18 AM PST on October 4 [/quote]
