That's a wonderful sentiment, but I really have to wonder, how far does it go? I've heard the same thing from other people who went on to protest scientific studies of sexuality or research on cochlear implants or a dozen other similar things, all on the grounds that such things were 'offensive' and 'destructive towards culture'. Maybe you don't believe these things. I have little enough reason to think you do. But once you actually have to choose between this group 'curing' themselves and that group 'protecting their culture', who do you have the most sympathy for?
