We probably will be able to reverse 'gay' in people. We'll probably also be able to reverse 'straight' as well. I've seen some sci-fi that touched on this subject a bit.

- Florin_Andrei 13y agoI'm pretty sure even political inclinations could be flipped over, provided we dig deep enough into the "machinery" up here.
- sillysaurus2 13y agoThat's interesting to think about. On the one hand, it sounds absurd to say that a medical procedure could influence someone's future political beliefs. On the other hand, would that sound absurd in 1,000 years? We're really in the very beginnings of understanding the human brain.
- rdl 13y agoI'm not a doctor, but I could probably influence someone's political beliefs through medication, at least for the duration of treatment, and probably with aftereffects lasting far longer. $20 per treatment, several treatments per month.

- Nicholas_C 13y agoI absolutely love that book. One of those novels where I was really emotionally attached to the characters. The social and scientific ideas Haldeman touched on were very eye opening.
- freehunter 13y agoI actually just started reading it last week, I'm a couple chapters in and it has me hooked. Glad to hear other people have enjoyed it the whole way through!
- icambron 13y agoI took a sci-fi writing class from Haldeman in college. He was great.
